Sorry, I'm first trying to understand that part about your custom time controls being reverted to 1 | 0. That's not something we intended to happen — unless you actually send a 1 | 0 seek.
When does this happen? After log out and log back in again — or during the same session as you are playing games with custom times?
Why are the site admins trying to discourage custom time controls? What harm is there in custom time controls? They have programmed an annoying message box that actively discourages you from implementing custom time controls by saying that one does not get enuf challenges using a custom time control. I get enough challenges for my needs using custom time controls. The latest annoyance from the admins is now it wont keep my custom time control setting. It always reverts to a deault of 1 minute chess. I detest 0 increments and that is why I use my own time control. 15 10 is okay but a bit long so I use either 12 9 or 10 7 to get the standard or blitz rating games. Please stop this campaign against custom time controls and delete the program code for that annoying message box and reallow me to set my custom time control once and forever more default to that control the way it was before.
