I was stupid ... did one more move to really be hopeless and on the next move I would resign. But I'm still waiting for the move for the opponent 🙁
Sinds he doesn't move, I can not resign the game, and it takes a lot of presious time for an active player :'(
So why not make the resign button permanent? Than you can resign at any given time?
(sometimes it's better to resign then to wait untill the timebank is empty)

Perhaps option of resigning on the oppnenent's move would be a good idea.
But in the meanwhile, I recommend that you send a polite PM to your opponent telling him that you intend to resign on the next move, and asking him to make the final move of the game so you can do so.

Resignation on opponents move would be a better idea.

So perhaps the note should say: "Unless allow me back into the game with a huge blunder next turn, I intend to resign. I'm hoping to free up a slot for a new game, so a move at your earliest convenience would be much appreciated."
That's fair warning included there... 😀
But I still agree with you that the option to resign on opponent's move would be a better idea.
