Fencer:

In this match my opponent was ahead 3 : 2. I was winning the 4th game comfortably and my opponent decided to resign. He didn't see the warning about points loss.

This was our conversation:

Thanks. :-)
I don't understand why you resigned though, especially a backgammon with a 2-cube! You could have run to save the gammon. Another three rolls for me to get off and only two needed to save yourself.

You are reading a reply to this message:
You got it, congrats!

I thought with my resign only the game and not the match! This is my failure and may be also bug for such type game matches.

You're mostly correct. Resigning itself only pertains to the current game. But you resigned a backgammon when the cube was at 2 and so you gave me 6 points. It was that which ended the match!

Did you not see the warning message telling you how many points would be lost?

No I did not see any message!

I really don't like winning matches this way. It's even worse than winning through a timeout.

Fencer, please make the change to the warning message. How many people are going to have to lose significant amounts of points and even matches because this trivial change is left undone? I really fail to understand your reluctance. Andersp has made the change in the Swedich version and I am certain that there will have been no players mistaking a bright red warning notice for just another line of black text in a block of lines of black text.

Important stuuff should stand out. It's basic design!

The same principle applies to the match score. I know you won't move it where up it can be seen but perhaps you could see your way to making it blue instead of black?
