We’ve been a bit silent on the blog lately, but if you’re following our Cashboard twitter account you’ll notice we’ve been active smashing bugs and refining features lately. Yesterday we tweeted about a new feature that deserves special attention here.

We’re now alerting you about forgotten timers, and automatically closing them after 12 hours.

About 200 of you got emails yesterday, but for those of you who weren’t fortunate enough to get one here’s a sample of what to expect in your inbox if you leave a timer open.

A timer started on 02/17/2011 was left running more than 12 hours.
We don't think you meant to leave it running that long, so we've stopped it.

This is one step in a process of things we will be working on to make the timers more usable for you. I hope this helps the more forgetful of you to close those timers out. Any comments and concerns about this topic are always welcome.
