BBO challenges disappears (vs friend or robot)

[J Lodahl]

hi

 

I have just started to play the "challenges" (home page, selected areas). I have played against a friend and against a robot. Sometimes when I am started on a challenge, I need to have a break. I then completed the ongoing game and exits. Sometimes I can return to the challenge next time I log in, sometimes it is disappeared.

 

I also happens that I complete a challenge, my friend has not completed, and then it disappears.

 

I am aware that a challenge times out if you do not start within a week, I guess both parties need to start. But his is not my issue here.

 

Any help appreciated.

The challenge times out 3 days (not a week) after the challenge is first issued, whether you have started or not. Note this means that if you issue a challenge, and it takes the other player 2 days to accept, it'll disappear after one more day.

 

(For robot challenges I believe it's one day rather than 3.)

 

Is it possible therefore that this is your issue after all?

I think it could also be a connection problem - sometimes BBO is unable to load the list of challenges.

this sounds like the pattern I am experiencing. Thank you very much. I will make challenges with fewer boards.
