Unable to Book Holiday

I have no games waiting and am unable to book an time off. Any ideas anyone?

@medullah
I just tried setting up a vacation and it appeared to work fine for me.
I went to the vacation setting page, clicked the dates for when I wanted to start and end,
then went to the bottom of the page and clicked 'BOOK', and it appeared to be set up.

Are those the steps that you used?

First of all thank you for tryig to help, appreciated.

I did try the steps that you outkined , and i get this message even with no games to play

"You must move in all games at risk of timeout before your vacation ends. Please book additional days accordingly."

I tried it from a different device and it worked a treat, so thanks again 🙂

The main thing to remember is vacation protection does not stop the clock.
In any game where it's your move, your clock is still running down.
Vacation protection only prevents your opponent from claiming a win when your time is all gone.
That's why you need to make a move in your games before the vacation protection expires.

@mwmiller - A question on vacation. I play primarily 3 days / move + 7 day time bank games, and I am going to off the site for about 14 days. If I understand it correctly, there would be no reason to start my vacation on RHP until perhaps 9 days into my vacation, and extend it for a few days after I get back, because my time banks will run down whether I have a RHP vacation booked or not. Is that correct?

Vacations offer timeout protection, but the clock still ticks.

Your regular timeout period resets after a move, but timebank period does not.

So in hardcore timebank only games, vacation offers little protection from timeout as your timebank will have expired once your vacation protection ends.
