I saw somewhere that the vacation time allowed per year is 30 days but when I look at my opponents who are on vacation it always shows 0 months 30 days left. Is this never updated?

Yeah it's a bug, before it worked, I know I've reported it already and Erik is looking into it. However he's probably very busy these days and there is stuff much more important than this (live chess!).

I'm glad there is a vacation schedule fixed into the site. Expect for my medical issues, I make sure that I have computer access when on the road or traveling with my wife. We're going back to Hawaii this winter and I plan on playing while there, both online and off. There is a great spot on the beach at Wakiki where you can play blitz or regular chess with the locals. Even though I'm not a great chess player I try to play chess in different cities just to see who is out there.

this will be fixed today

It is working now. Excellent.

My vacation settings seem wrong,  mine shows:

I have 1 month 5 days vacation time remaining!
(I have used 3 days 14 hours of my 40 allowed vacation days this calendar year.)

I guess somewhere in the forum it may be known already or is it just mine....

sorry - we updated our vacation time to 40 days to accomodate our "hard working" EU members :D

AHA! So that's what's going on! Nobody tells me nothin'.

Actually, vacation time makes a lot of sense. I lost my DSL for an entire week in June. AT&T messed up. Then they messed up some more trying to fix it. Then they messed up a couple of more times. So I can see where having a way to pause your games from a library for a while is crucial. Of course I was taking a five week online course at the time. :P

Ah yea, sorry erik that's fine by me, I think maybe I didn't explain it properly, it was more of a maths (or math) thing. If I have used 3 days and 14 hours (which sounds about right) I should have around 36 days and 10 hours left, whereas I seem to have 1 month 5 days vacation time remaining!        Aghhh!

 no worries. but perhaps you should spend more time here?

Oh groan, I'll keep taking the medicine, 1 month / 31 days + 5 days = 36 days.
