same conflict as for the old 10 game limit. You can have 6 games going, but you can't start the 6th. You can be challenged, or you can pick up an open invite, but you can't create it. I doubt it'll change.

Just in case you missed this post, I've qupted it. The problem in creating games when you have 1 space left is an old one & existed back when the limit was 10 games. There are ways around it, such as getting the other person to challenge you (send them a message?).

I have no idea how much work would be involved to fix this, it may be a lot or very little. But C&R's list of things to do is very long, and ask yourself this: where on that list do you think a problem that only affects non-subscribers will come? Not trying to be mean, but it makes sense to me that it will be pushed below other, broader issues.

A quick fix would be to declare hat the game limit was 5, and anyone who worked out that they could get around this & have 6 games going would feel that they had gained something instead of feeling he was losing something by not being able to start the 6th so easily.

I believe message read "get them to challenge you". I can't check, but I've been told this is possible.

Ok, I know this is a causing some pain - and I expected quite a few more complaints when we switched to the 6 game limit.

My word to you, I GUARANTEE I will fix this within the next few weeks.

[I wonder if my wife to be will allow me to take a laptop on our honeymoon - if not, I could be in trouble for making promises like that. 😳 ]

Hey Russ, maybe you can just bump the limit up to 7 games, then everyone will be able to get their 6 game limit....

Is your game counter starting at the number 0 or the number 1?

Just a couple of thoughts,
Marc

Although I hope you work full time (as me 😉 😉 ) on the site here 😀 😀, I hope she does not allow you to get your laptop on your honeymoon...
BTW: where R U going to?
