Not seeing games I start in the waiting game list

[Athelstan]

G'day. Usually if I start a game, I'm used to seeing it appear as one of the games another player or players can join (green Join button) whereas I see it as the grey 'View' button. Lately that hasn't been happening much, if at all. I've just been through expanding all the 'show similar games' lines and still can't see a game I started. Yes, it appears in the 'Awaiting' tab on my games screen. Any ideas?
Cheers, Athelstan.

Any ideas?

Yes, I believe only the first 200 available games appear in the list.

If you take a look at the address bar, it looks like this:
/GameFinder.php?matchany=1&maxResults=200&mapid=&active=1&setting[19]=1&setting[9]=1440

If you change the maxResults=200 part to maxResults=1200 for example, your game will show up as well.

At the moment there are 444 games waiting in the list, so maybe this default setting should be changed. Maybe that is the reason some games fail to fill up: people don't even see them. Hm.

I'd suggest deleting the 24-player games that have been clogging up the game list for over a year now....

Thanks very much for the prompt reply which sets my mind completely at rest, ready to attack someone with new vigour!
Love this game!!

That's a great idea...it should automatically delete itself after a year.
