Introduction of a pause button

The only function I really miss on lichess.org is the ability to pause a time-control game. My suggestion is that you make it possible to ask your opponent if he agrees to paus the game.

Such a function would be very practical when something that can't wait comes up during a game with a friend.

if you are playing with a friend, maybe a clock-less game would do?

hmmmmm I agree

I prefer Unlimited with friend games to remove the clock from the GUI display in the game. I want the user interface to be as small as possible on my new 1024x768 screen :P a little boost might just get rid of both of my scroll bars on the site ! (or at least the horizontal one XD which is like 3 pixels off)

though pausing does sound useful yeah...didn't know that used to be a feature here

Don't think it's really needed if you're playing with a friend though.

If the game is that fast then usually we just finish that.

If it's not...well, your opponent can just decline/refuse anyway, or not answer and cause you to waste seconds of time only to find out your offer to pause the game is hanging.

so it sounds kinda too complex to me to worry about that sort of feature
