Generally, when you are having a problem with a particular plugin you can go to the support thread for that plugin to see if people have had similar problems to yours and have had it resolved in that thread. If the plugin author has created a support thread for the plugin and linked it in the plugin you can easily get to the support thread for that plugin by clicking the "Need Help?" link located next to the Save Changes button

Hi, @gibby , @omega222 ,

I saw this on another post here - it may help you

In the games, it will prompt the challenging player when the moves exceed 50 to archive some of the data. If the key is already full, you as the admin should see a green book under their board. click it and it will allow you to archive moves for them. once the key is reduced they can continue playing.

you as the admin should see a green book under their board

 

Here you go added a screenshot - how it looked on my forum
notice the green book at the bottom of the screenshot of the board
it will show a popup clicking on that will archive the moves thus helping to free up some space

Just curious @gibby and @omega222 - I apologize if either (or both) of you have answered this (I just don't recall seeing it answered), but are both of you using the most recent version that @xsteveuk had pointed out:

It may require the main / root admin - I don't use that plugin, so not sure. Did you check to make sure it's the most recent version installed? Compare the version number from your Admin > Plugins > Manage page to that shown in the library.

I was going to check the forum link in your signature, but it takes me back to this thread, rather than your forum. May want to fix that.

Gator, if you have sufficient admin rights you would be able to access the admin panel and the plugins section. If you are unable to access that area then you don't have the appropriate permissions and the main admin would need to assign you the additional powers.

Well lested i got the link in my signature fix, I found out it was only acting up with the one game i was playing, still able to play with the other person

The plugin uses thread keys (each game has its own thread and the key simply saves the moves already made in that thread) meaning an overflowing key in one game would have no effect on another game having ample room in the key for its thread.
Proboards offers a way to CLEAR ALL THE KEYS for the plugin in the admin panel meaning ALL GAMES WILL BE WIPED OUT which might not be ideal so what that green book allows is to clear the key for a game (up to 25 full moves) to make room for more moves (it archives the old moves from the key into a post in that thread).

You might be able to utilize the archive feature via the javascript console even if you are not the main admin provided you have the correct key permissions and ability to edit a post in the thread but you would need to get a bit more specific by providing a link to the thread that has the overflowing key.

code for reference:function moveKeystuffToPost() {

   // extract first 50 moves from key EPD

   var keynum=pb.data('page').thread.id;

   var keystuff=pb.plugin.key('wormocodes_chessplay').get(keynum);

   var keyextract=keystuff.EPD.splice(0,25);

   // append to post content surrounded by [chess_archive] tags

        gfrm=$('form.form_thread_edit');

      var currContent= $('#'+gfrm.attr('id')+'_message_input').wysiwyg('getContent');

   currContent+='[p][i][b][b]\n\n[chess_archive]'+keyextract.join(',')+'[/chess_archive][/b][/b][/i][/p]';

   $('#'+gfrm.attr('id')+'_message_input').wysiwyg('setContent',currContent);

 

   // remember to have it remove those tags from displaying

   alert('25 moves have been archived into post content.');

   pb.plugin.key('wormocodes_chessplay').set_on('thread_edit',keynum,keystuff);

   gfrm.submit();

}
