About an hour ago, I noticed that my opponent in the Mu Grouped Random tournament, Rich Johnson, had used up a few hours of the initial 14 day timebank, in his 2 games against me. I wrote down the timebanks remaining, which were 13.86 and 13.66. The game id numbers are 369670 and 369673.

But now, without him making any moves, his timebanks have been reset to 14 days! Surely this isn't supposed to happen? The whole point of timebanks is that the time used up can never be recovered.

I hope Russ will look into this, because if it's a bug, it potentially affects everyone on the site.

I had begun to notice bugs like this, too. But I wasn't sure whether I was imagining it. For instance, 2 of my games I used some timebank (367083 & 367084) and it seems to have reset now. Although I think sometimes it returns, I'm not sure.

i looked at my games page, in the info section, and saw the green timebank line turning red as it was gobbled.

now i look back and as dave said - it is all green again.

It's a new scheme that has been introduced... you are now able to make deposits into your timebank (cash only, brown paper envelope preferred) via the cashier - Russ 😉

This problem hasn't been investigated yet - but will be shortly.

Apologies for the delay.

I have taken tommorow off, and will be devoting myself to hunting down this problem. And correcting it.

This should all be fixed now.

This seems to have been purely a display problem, so the underlying timebank was being calculated correctly, but was showing incorrectly on the information box on "My Games".

Sorry for the inconvenience.
