I don't usually time players out,unless their profile says they do,but I have a ladder game ongoing where the player hasn't moved since February 10th
I thought timeouts were automatic after so long.
Has this altered with the new build(i.e been forgotten to be included or is the auto timeout longer than 5.1/2 weeks
@Ponderable saidThanks Pondy.
In fact I think I have not encountered a auto-timeout in a long time.
I personnally take timeouts in Ladder, Tournament and Clan games frequently. On welcome games after one or two days after the skull surfaces (to free the slot) and in friendly games after one year.
I don't see timeouts because I have my setting on my move.
I only see them when I go to all games to move a completed game into another folder.
If auto timeouts have been lost I think they ought to be reinstated
@venda saidI think it's only tournaments that have auto-timeout? Could be wrong.
Thanks Pondy.

From the FAQ section regarding tournaments:
Timeouts
Tournament games are unique on Daily Chess because they are subject to automated timeouts. Due to the nature of tournaments, they can take a very long time to complete. so to accelerate the games an automated timeout is run periodically. This will force a timeout if an opponent has decided to not claim the win himself or herself. A 2 day grace period is offered on top of the standard timeout period in which the opponent may claim the win.
Not sure about ladders? Would seem a likely candidate for auto timeout too - never had one in any of my games though (for, or against). Can't see anything in the FAQ except for tournaments though.

Maybe in tournaments but not for general games.
A player is going into hospital and has used his/her vacation for the year and as he/she is a decent person I agree not to time them out; not going to work with auto timeout.
