Was this setup as an event game? The delay should only be happening for event games and not regular gameroom games.

OK, then that's even more strange if the delay is only for event games.
Since then, I've viewed another game that did a similar thing, except I didn't stay for the end of the game, but it did the thing where the green clock highlight and countdown switched back and forth with no pieces moving.
I was using the javascript client both times if that is relevant.
Cheers,
knarl.

Apparently woh vs. Korhil was moved to a new time when I wasn't paying attention, so I missed it. Also apparently (from the chat room comments) the spectator delay is only one ply instead of four ply for people who are watching a game from the beginning. This bug obviously needs to be fixed before the delay has it intended impact.

Actually the bug's behaviour is following: when you start watching in halfturn h, you are delayed min(h,4) halfturns. I was late one halfturn, arimabuff was on time. After I have reloaded the client at 4g I was delayed 4 halfturns as expected but Arimabuff didn't want to go back to history ...

I rolled back this change. It was causing some unexplainable bugs in other places. I'll add it again once I figure out what's causing the bug.

I've turned on the delay for spectators again for rated event games. Please post here if you notice any problems.

I experienced one artifact of the rollout: when I opened my Postal Mixer game against woh, it showed me the position from two moves ago. I had to log on to the game room to open the game and play my move.

I just tried this while logged out of the gameroom, but the link in the email seems to be working OK for me. Maybe the client version makes a difference; I was using the JavaScript version.
Tried it with a the client set to Flash V2 HTTP. Actually when you are logged out, it defaults to using the JavaScript client. So I am not being able to reproduce this. Anyone else seeing this?
