My open seeks keep disappearing

    Twice today, I've put out a seek for a new game for turn based play, then left the site. When I come back, my seeks are gone.

    I tried a third one just after starting this thread, and that one got accepted, so I got a game started. I just don't know what happened to the first two. They were on my open invites list when I left the site, but they were gone when I came back.

    When you complain to the staff, you don't give evidence of it working! Tongue out

    I've worked tech support enough to know that the more detail you have to work with, the more likely you are to find the problem.

    Maybe the database admin needed to rollback the seek database.

    I've noticed when I leave the site it cancels the open seek. This is probably to reduce the number of people left hanging upon accepting a seek.

    When the time control is 3 days per move, they'd better get used to waiting. I certainly hope this isn't intentional. If I put out a seek, I don't want to have to sit around for an hour waiting for someone to accept it.
