I have two requests. In our shipping we've now been able to close ports if we're going to be away. It doesn't skip in the roto. The ship is red, shows closed port when scrolled over, but doesn't actually skip the port. Also, if it shows red in the individual manifest of players, can it please show red in the Shipping Manager page? I usually don't look at the manifest page until the ship has sat over 15 hours or more.
Thank you!!

Hi iadiedee
For a port to be automatically skipped, the farmer has to close their port in their Preferences by unchecking the Enable ships option.
If they only set their status as unavailable then the port is not skipped.
This is the explanation from our Game Guide:
Mouseover a Port with a red background and you will see a tooltip with more information about how long they will be away for. For example it could show you This port is unavailable and will become operational in 4 days. They have not closed their Port, they might be expecting to be able to return to the game sooner than 4 days.
Remember that the pink background means that the farmer HAS disabled their port. They may not be participating with ships OR they may be away on a vacation for an extended time. Mouseover the Port and it will show you a tooltip saying This port is out of service. When the background colour is pink you may prefer to replace them with a port that is currently open.
If they do both things, set themselves as unavailable and disable their port the background in ships logbooks defaults to pink. They may not be away for long so if you own the Overhead Cranes you could self load their port if you wish or you can skip that port instead of replacing it. When this happens, you can still check how long they are away for in your Neighbours bar or in your Farmers Lists.
Farmers that have set their status as unavailble are shown up in red when you click in Ships Logbook.
Anyway, if you want to make a suggestion, please post it in our Suggestion section.
You cant start a new thread there, but you can post as a reply to a thread that fits with your idea.
