another instance with the clock. i log on in the afternoon and i have 2 games with a few minutes and the third with 3 minutes! i know i had more time. i go to the first two games and i have 69 minutes left. the third game i had 79 minutes left instead of 3 minutes. i am starting to wonder if the timeouts and vacation isn't going with the clock on the home page? this has to be a major issue. i feel that if i would not have logged on in that 3 minutes span i would have lost those games even though i actually have over and hour. i have had this feeling of getting cheated on my time for a while. i just started to document it and now i know there is an issue to be resolved.
clock @ timing accuracy

I've seen it sometimes (prior to the revamp) whereby the number of minutes remaining as it appears on the home page and the number of minutes remaining as it appears looking at the game directly do not match (or even close; out by as much as you suggest).
When the lower number ran out, however, it just stuck on "a few minutes" until the higher number ran out also.
(Note: It was my opponent's clock running out, not mine, in case you wonder why I just sat and watched it instead of making a move :p )
But regardless, it still shows the clocks can be inaccurate.
yesterday the 3rd i watched my games go to vacation. my top game had 64 minutes left for me to make a move when this happened. i was lucky enough to have some vacation or i guess i would have lost on time! i should not be losing games on time when there is an hour left to play. i am afraid this is happening more than i realise. i have lost some games on time that couldn't be helped but i feel i have lost many due to these clock problems. i also feel that i have lost all my vacation time due to these issues. thanks for listening , peace TC
hello and i hope this has not been covered. i get home log in and my earliest game says 49 min. when i go to the game it's clock said 89 min. i think i have lost games on time when i shouldn't. i think if it is inaccurate in one direction it could be wrong vc. vs.. also would like to see the clock with atleast 15 min. increments over 2 hours. should help and can't hurt. the clock is hard to trust in last minute situations. peace TC
