Your games in progress idea...

For those of us involved in a couple hundred turned based games, it would be nice if the "Your Games in Progress" page had a signifier on each game if someone was over time. That way we could click on it and end the game. That would be a very nice feature.

You'll see a red hour glass on someone that is over time on that page. (In place of the normal hourglass/their avatar.)

OK, I got another penalty. If I played all games in my little yellow group on top right of my screen, that means I am caught up and played every single game I could possibly play last night. So how can I get a ran out of time penalty if I played all my games? Do I need to check three times a day? Would it even help? I mean in what order are they even shown to me when I click on my yellow icon of the games I am playing? Obviously not the games with the least amount of remaining time right?! So, if it's my turn on a game, but I am not online until 24 hours later, I can somehow get a time penalty? HELP!!!??? Will someone actually help me? Thank you so much!! Nikele

The game you received a penalty in was set to "3 moves per day", which will only give you 8 hours of thinking time per turn you take.
The best way to avoid getting in that scenario if you're unable to check every at least every 8 hours is to use the manual lobby and only join/create games with timers you're able to personally do. (Which would presumably be 1 move per day as you never know when the other people at the table will take their turns).
You can also do that via the automatic lobby, but you'll have to do every game individually.
