joeyt Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 When I put players on my shortlist "indefinetly" it always then removes it but I thought indefinite was all the time until you decide to remove it Is this not right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaroq Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I think its been doing 1 year, but I haven't paid attention to it - in fact, I stopped using "Indefinite" when I figured out that it wasn't what it said on the tin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Indefinite means for the forseeable future - they will never get removed from your shortlist unless you remove them or they disappear from the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If you add a player indefinitely, and then look at your shortlist, under days remaining it should have a hyphen "-". Therefore I don't know why it may be removing them after a year. Anyway, by definition, it shouldn't be removing them after a year - should be keeping them on there until you say otherwise.

Amaroq Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 FM'05? FM'08? And which patch, e.g., if its FM'08, 8.0.0, or 8.0.1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaroq Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Basically, I'm asking because I know for sure it was "broken", the way I described earlier, in FM'05. In that version, it showed the hyphen "-", but still removed the player after 365 days. I got out of the habit of using "Indefinitely" because of that, so I can't say for certain how it works in FM'08, and at the rate I play, I won't get a year along in time to contribute to this discussion! Now we have people asserting different things: you, me, cudman, and pyewackett asserting that its broken .. .. but others, including NepentheZ, whose opinion I respect, asserting that it really does mean "indefinite" ... ... so I'm wondering if its something that was broken, but got fixed somewhere along the line.

I'm stil using FM05, and for me indefinate means indefinate. I use it for all my former players (and only my former players) They stay on my shortlist even after they move into coaching, so it's the only way to get reports on when staff are being offered new contracts (would be very useful if they were any good as staff) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
