Sometimes, I don't play for a few days.
I don't need the vacation flag because I play 7:7 or longer
I know I can put a message on my profile, but I'm not convinced others look on there.
Would it be a lot of hassle for the admin's to add a button to message all current opponents?
If it means a lot of work,it doesn't really matter.
I'm sure Russ has more important issues

Also I don't like using vacation days up unnecessarily.
There might be a time when I am ill or something and need them.

This has been suggested before but never implemented.
I think there were concerns about possible burglaries if it was known a property was unoccupied

In your trusted hands sir I'm sure such a feature would be perfectly fine (and practical). Some subscribing toerag however could create 300 current games and send out collective messages promoting Bitcoin etc.

Unless you mean the message sent was automated just to alert opponents you were away from the site for a specified time?

When I joined the iste there was an indicator you could set which gave an estimation of activity like daily, weekly, or somthing. This seems to have vnaished at some update.

Can we revive that?
