No alerts for vote chess games

ilmago and I are not receiving alerts anymore when our opponents' time has expired, and it is now our group's turn to move.

Also when the time is up, the game just sits at "0 seconds," and the the board says "Voting Ended."

Yes, all the vote chess games are "paralysed" - not switching sides when one team's time is up - sitting at "voting ended" and "0 seconds", and of course not generating any alerts

rigamagician

Thanks, jay.  I know you must be busy.

I just got a bunch of alerts, probably fixed now, thanks guys...Cool

maybe it would be a better idea for staff to advise us not to start new vote chess games, especially quick games.

then when it is fixed, we can be notified again.

better to be given the advice in advance, rather than have the frustration and disappointment 1 or 2 hours into a 10 min time control game for example.

had i known everything was going to break, I would have given you the notice. :) Once I found out it was broken, I was able to fix it within a few hours.

regarding the script, I think the script is operating ok now. i'm keeping a close eye on it. thanks for the bug reports.

Even after I open a game now, the alert continues to appear in the top right hand corner of the page.

I speculate that the following may be a similar or related problem:

 

The "next ready game" button on the vote chess game pages is presently not working as intended. See also the thread

Thanks, Jay.  You are slicing through these bugs like water.
