Erik:

The resume button does not seem to work. While "Play/Live chess/Play Live chess" works all the time (within 1 second). Perhaps what needs to be done is:

1. freeze the drop game, with clock ticking of course

2. when the Play/live chess/play live chess buttons are pressed.

3. live chess.com program check for live chess active game i am playing.

4. ask if i want to get back to it. if yes, bring it back. resume play.

If i have run out of time before step 4 is reached too bad. but at least player does not have to be waiting indefinitely for the "resume" option to actually resume. In my experience, not one has resumed within an hour of clicking it.

what do you think?

ressume button, where ?!?!

 

also could it be possible so that when you are disconected, in the games archive it notes that, and says, game lost by disconection.

Erik & company are well-aware and working on it. In fact, they're writing "Live Chess 2.0" almost completely from scratch. It will take some time.
