Hi folks,

It's amazing the things you don't notice. I was looking at a game today and it suddenly hit me that you can't tell what the time limit of a game is by looking at it. You could figure it out, by doing the date math on the Current Games page or (for non-tournament games) by clicking the "Change Time Limit" link under the game, which takes you to a page where you can ask your opponent to change the time limit and which shows you the current time limit. But to call it round-about would be understating it.

So that's fixed. If you look under the game board, you'll see the time limit on the game just in front of where it's always said whether the game allows vacations. For example:
This game's time limit is 7 days. It does allow vacations.
Because tournament game time limits aren't one-liners, for tournament games it reminds you to go to the tournament page (with a handy link):
See the [tournament page] for this game's time limits. It does allow vacations.
(The [tournament page] bit of that is the link.)

Trivial little thing, but I thought I'd mention it.

Enjoy your games!
