Rating refreshing in correspondence games

Hi.

Probably will be great, if when I open one of my correspondence game rating of players will be updated to current rating of players. Because, when I play one game (it may be long time), rating may be changed in another games, but I still see the fixed at start of game our ratings.

Thanks!
I'm somewhat sure that the rating calculation when game ends will use the ratings that the player had at the start. There was a thought about using the average of start-rating and end.rating but not sure if that has been implemented.

Using what ratings is both a hard problem to really solve, and a problem that doesn't matter that much. However, showing the start-rating is probably more accurate and the current rating can easily be found anyway.
Probably, I mistake, but calculation of new ratings after end of game should be on basis of current ratings of players, but not on basis of fixed ratings at start of this game. It's not correct, especially for new players that have non-stabilizated by glicko system rating yet.
Anyway, thanks for the quick response!

P.S. Such features have chess.com

Cheers.
