Rather stating the obvious here, in that it cannot have been an oversight, but I note that the available tourneys is a much shorter list when on the Flash version than on the Windows version. Under Windows, you can see tourney's scheduled up to days in advance. Obviously not a complete list as some tourneys get scheduled only hours before commencement.
But with the Flash version you cannot see tourneys beyond a couple of hours into the future, even those which have been scheduled.
Is there some reason for that?

Less clutter, was our thinking. I understand that we occasionally want to look further ahead but those occasions seem to be rare.
Do you have a need to look ahead further than that? why ?

It is not important. I just usually like to organise my day more than 2 hours in advance.
Not sure that I understand the clutter argument. The only added clutter is a scroll bar, and that may well be present even with a 2 hour slot.
But leave it. If I am the only one, no worries.
I would just add that from a marketing perspective if nothing else, if you are encountering resistance from Windows users to switch to Flash, you possibly could do yourself a favour if you do not reduce the functionality in the latter contrasted with the former. It may be just me, but I rank functionality higher in the priority over presentation. You can get used to presentation.

When I logged in to BBO this morning, I had an email saying "Register early for our 3pm tournament, which is posted". I would have, but I've only ever used the web version. I agree with Jack: I don't see how extending the list would add clutter (since there is already a scrollbar) and I favor functionality over presentation.
