    One of the reason I bought a Platinum membership was to be able
    to make more than 25 moves a day on my Nokia smart phone.

    I have been very happy with chess.com's mobile app. until I ended
    up in hospital.

    Gone on a big journey between Hell and hell I woke up at day 3 later
    and thought it would be nice to play some chess, occupation for
    my morphine filled (they don't serve Malt ) mind.


    Getting my phone and open up the chess.com app., I can see that
    I have roughly 20 games where it's my turn to move ,and now starts the troubles.
    Summit my first move and the app. tells me that I can't as I am on vacation (yea
    call that a vacation).

    The app hasn't a way to turn vacation on or off.,so I  have to try in another
    way to do so. My first idea is to phone my wife (it is still a smart phone) and let her
    luck in to chess.com from a PC. and turn vacation off, but i am not sure that I
    would like my wife to see my chess.com profile (even
    kohai didn't like it )
    Then I try to luck in to chess.com through my phone bowser and here I can get
    the page with  on-line settings and I chance my vacation status which I do.
    WOW now I am going to play chess with the mobile app. but NO! (why make
    it to easy) as it still tells me that I cant submit a move as I am on vacation.

    Now I start to panic as it look's like I am going to end up with abstinence from
    not playing chess.I then figur out it could be that if I made a move lucking in
    with my phone bowser it would work.Chess.com load fine and I chance my on-line settings
    once more to no vacation and load a game and the page load's fine exept for one
    thing THE PIECES.

    It is difficult if not impossible (except from to resign) to make a move without
    the pieces, So what now?.......I then remember that there is another phone bowser
    "Skyfire" which should work well on the phone.After have down loaded Skyfire, lucked
    in to chess.com,chanced my vacation status for the 3th.time I was now able to make a move.
    I then close down Skyfire and open up the mobile app. and everything work's smoothly.

    I spent a hole morning to make one move (getting angry,frustrated,having nerves breakdown,
    crying ,screaming :) )

    so wouldn't it be possible to make a on/off vaction bottom on the mobile app.?

    25 moves a day, that means your going at more than one move an hour not including sleep time!
