THis site need something in your profile where you can put a block of type saying something like I may be gone the next few days or weeks or whatever for when pople leave for vacation. Like I am going to be gone from thursday to tuesday and trying to let all my games know thta is a big pain!!

You could use "the wall" in your profile for that, though I doubt many people playing games with you would notice that - or anything anywhere else on your profile for that matter. Generally it's considered polite to post in game chat for each games if you think you are likely to miss a turn. Even though I see you're in 65 games it still wouldn't take long to visit each one and paste the same message into game chat on each one.
I notice that you're still joining games too ... If you're going away it might be better not to start any new ones until you get back.

yeah I dont think anyone will check your wall to see if your gone, I wouldnt.
My suggestion was to have a type box on your profile somewhere that would then show up in all your game chats, kind of like an out of office email thing

ok grainbelt
Now I understand your idea ...
If you want it to get any further you're definitely going to have to use the form and rewrite your post to make it clearer what you're proposing.
So, copy this ...
- Code: Select all
<DELETE ME>
PLACE A CONCISE DESCRIPTION OF THE SUGGESTION OR BUG IN THE SUBJECT LINE!!!
Delete or replace any xxxxxxx with the appropriate information.
Delete any entires which do not apply.
</DELETE ME>
[b]Concise description:[/b]
[list]
[*]xxxxxxx
[/list]
[b]Specifics:[/b]
[list]
[*]xxxxxxx
[/list]
[b]This will improve the following aspects of the site:[/b]
[list]
[*]xxxxxxx (you can obviously delete this for bug reports)
[*]xxxxxxx
[/list]
... and then edit your first post and paste this in ... etc etc.
You get the idea
