AbigailII: Thank you for understanding. I was beginning to think I wasn't comprehending the time out guide lines. I'll watch a lil' closer today & see if things work itself out.

alilsassy: You need to remember, that the day starts at midnite Czech time. I'm not positive where you are, but here in the Eastern U.S. the "new day" starts at 6pm.
I believe Pedro and Imsoaddicted are correct as well. It is her last vacation day. Her vacation days remaining probably turned to zero at 6pm eastern yesterday (which would explain why you say it has been "two" days). I would imagine at 6pm eastern, she will start timing out.
rod03801: I am in the same timezone as the site uses, and what I saw happened on Friday server time. Also, I would normally see which vacation days a person has set, or whether a person uses auto-vacation. This wasn't show for the person discussed - perhaps this piece of information disappears when the number of vacation days is 0?
Perhaps Fencer could add a little tidbit of information which indicates whether a player has taken a vacation day (be it by setting the date, or auto-vacation kicking in earlier that day) "today" (A dot of some colour next to the number of vacation days remaining will do). This can avoid confusion in the future.
Still, what I don't understand is, if a person who has Saturday and Sunday set as weekend days, times out on a Friday, and Friday is either a vacation day, or autovacation kicks in, why does that person have 24 hours added to the clock, and not 72?
AbigailII: I have also been confused for many years by the vacation day system. If a person's vacation days show zero, then when the clock counts down to zero, it should be a timeout, period. I don't see the logic behind having any other fancy rules.
AbigailII: Sometime ago, I've asked on feature requests forum, that the chosen vacation days only disapear from our profile at the end of the day, and not at the begining, just to avoid this kind of problems. Seems Fencer didn't see it, or didn't care, for the request
Fencer: How about adding this link somewhere in the description of the Feature request board. Most people don't go back in the archives of brainking.info very far to read articles, and I'm sure there are a lot who've never read that article, but would benefit from reading it.
