OnLine Chess Settings

I always want to play people above 1800 and 1 day/move.  I go to settings and set my preferences and save them, but the default is always +-300 points of my current rating and always 3 days/move.  I have a premium membership (gold).  What's Up?! Is this a bug?

Did you click on the "Save Preferences" button at the bottom after changing the settings?

FYI: I am a computer programmer ... I'm sure I hit the "Save Preferences" button (as it is labeled) LOL

Ok, sorry.    Just making sure.

Also, just as a note: when I go back to the settings screen my preferences ARE saved ... they are just NOT USED when I go to "Start New Game"

These settings are for challenges from other players.

Thanks, but geeze ... wouldn't it make sense to have it for challenges that you create, as well??!  As a programmer I know it is a simply enough thing to implement!
