While playing a casual game last Thurs night, there were a number of ejections by the computer. I assume this is because of "slow play". We were actually four friends who were discussing the bidding and the play at the end of each hand. This ejection hadn't happened in the four previous Thursday nights. Has the time, that the computer allows you to discuss the hand, been reduced? (Or maybe our discussion have become longer.) If so, how long do we have, before we have to start the next board?

I doubt anything has changed.

Put +slow+ into the table description and set the 'Permission required to play' table option. These will help.
