F/S Update Changes

[JamesKer1]

Concise description:

Remove F/S games with 1 hour wait still running from "Jump to Next Game" list, and use a new color button (Blue Diamond?) instead of a green circle or a red square to signify they are waiting but not playable due to game settings.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

Makes games that you can't play stop popping up and easily distinguishable.

Would be great to implement this- thanks!

What exactly were you wanting here, James?

[JamesKer1]

Wow. I had totally forgotten about this. Sorry if this post is crap, typing on my phone and can't format everything in that I want to.

The first part of this was to remove freestyle games that had the 1 hour delay timer from "jump to next game" queue. I don't know if this has been done or not.

The second part was to create a new icon to signify that a game was waiting on its 1 hour (or shorter in speed games) delay timer, instead of the green circle. This is very similar to JDSizzle's stickied post about changing it to a "Waiting for Opponent to Begin" symbol. For mine, a new symbol, such as a blue diamond, would be created and used only while the timer is running to make it clear in the my games screen. I think JD's suggestion would somewhat accomplish this goal, but I wanted to make it something that stood out instead of blended in as something else potentially.

Sorry for not being clear in OP, I'll go back and edit this in when I get back to computer.

The second part seems to be the focus of this other thread.

And the first part makes perfect sense as well. How can the freestyle games that are not playable because of the one hour time limit be part of the next playable game cycle.

It has happened to me a few times lately and considering I normally leave freestyle alone, this must bug the players who like the setting.

Maybe it goes to the freestyle games in waiting because it's assuming that you want to be ready to play them when the timer is up... Not sure if that's why or if that's logical or a good reason though.
