Hey,

So looking at the runs above me on the board, when I complete a run and click solve it still takes several seconds for the timer to stop, yet in the top runs it happens instantly.

So what am I doing wrong with the settings? I turned off all the animations apparently but it is still doing it. Should your run end when you click "Solve" instead?

Also the top runs seem to be able to clear the board of several cards in one click. Am I missing something?

You can emulate the "solve" button by pressing your mouse wheel. It will automatically move your cards to the final collection area, even before you uncover all of them. The top runs don't collect cards all at once, because they press the mouse wheel multiple times during the run. The final collection after pressing mouse wheel can't be removed. Hope this helps.
