Could this be implented, maybe that all those different clocks make it a little crowded, but I'm afraid I need it... maybe it could be made optional or something...

Yes I would also appreciate some warning before the time bank starts. Say 24 hrs like the other games. The alert icon could be red/flash/!!/whatever but some signal is needed

I think it's been asked for before, but could we have a column showing hours & minutes to go before starting to eat the timebank? (With negative numbers in red, pretty please)

It would almost certainly be the preferred ordering for 'My Games' for most players.

We have a warning when the timebank is being used already - so it should not be too much effort to add a 24hr warning clock too.

Sorting on timebank gets a little tricky...

Sorry Russ, you may have misunderstood me.

My suggestion was for a column to show how long there is before the "normal" timeout expires, i.e., how long there is to make a move before starting to draw down the timebank (or in the absence of timebank give the other guy a skull to click.) I assume that this is a value you calculate anyway, in order to show the 'timebank being used up' alert.

By the way, I know next to nothing about PHP, but I do know a lot about SQL optimisation - if you would ever like me to look at any server-side code for you, I would be very happy to help.

cheers,
Roland

YES, I would also like that.
