Sadly due other commitments I'm spending less time here than I used to. Many people enjoy timing me out after 4 moves, when I type on the game lost icon - it tells me I lost by move timeout! but it fails to mention what the time parameters were.
There are several reasons for wanting to know this info:
How keen was the sad bloke to time me out!
Did I allow my stupid self to start a 3/7 or quicker game!
Just to know would be good.

On that page you'll find a 'game info' link to the right of the board which (among other things) will show you the initial time parameters.
The same pop-up is available from the 'info' link on the 'My Games' page.
The 'timebank remaining' is usually always screwed once a game is finished. This is a 'software side-effect' / 'feature' and not a bug.
