Please keep in mind BrainKing is still running on its original machine which is not as fast as I would like to have. Moreover, the site is changing very often and the traffic and load is increasing, so what was the optimal code a year ago doesn't have to be the most optimal code now. And since any change is very sensitive, cannot be done within a day.
I think the most important thing is that the site is up and running most of the time (and from my point of view, it's running almost continuously but I understand that network issues can make it different for international users).
Just don't panic, everything is under control.

Marfitalu: But if you hover the mouse cursor over the board link in the Favourive Boards section, the language would appear as a tooltip.

Marfitalu: Yes, of course it can be done. The only reason why I didn't do it so far is that people could be confused by the names which would be referring to non-existent domains. The Czech board is named BrainKing.cz but this domain actually exists and is registered [and owned] by me. What if someone else registeres BrainKing.fr or BrainKing.es and puts something completely different there?

Matarilevich: That will be replaced by the Help system as well. It's better updatable.

I will organize the Ponds rules better, just after finishing the missing Help topics.

Dryznik: Do you know what I like the most on my job? That I can do only what I want to do and there is nothing what can force me to do what I don't want to do. There will be no reduction of the player list.

reza: We need addicted players from all countries.

BerniceC: "Debil" is something like "dumb" or "idiot" in Czech.

Princess Alison: You must be something special, I didn't experience such situation on BrainKing since November 2003 and I am here very often.

wellywales: My experiences are that many people who log in only once a day and they just experience a temporary downtime which takes 30 seconds, they call it "a big problem". That's not a big issue. Moreover, our monitoring system logs all downtimes and we know exactly what the performance is. Of course, we cannot be responsible for network problems outside our scope.

Only static and dead sites are never down. Live sites are occasionally down because of upgrades.

Princess Alison: No, you don't. Because the changes and downtimes that must have been done during this week were mostly related to the multilingual support. Which absolutely doesn't affect the English speakers.

Princess Alison: I think you don't want to know it.

playBunny: I think adding the last sentence about gammons and backgammons could be sufficient.

plaintiger: 1) "If a double offer is sent, the opponent must decide whether to accept it (and multiply the current doubling cube value by 2) or to reject it, which causes a loss of the current game and adding the doubling cube value number of points to the winner's score."
2) There is a better board to ask such questions.

Please.

wellywales: I will officially thank you at the Server News. And maybe something more.

Princess Alison: Why not if someone wants to do it.

Socrates: I would like to release Spanish but it must be finished first. Still 331 entries left.

frolind: Don't use Internet Explorer.

Dryznik: Your "freedom living" is to choose a site which fulfils your criteria the most. Nobody is forced to play here. Our system is our system and I won't change it.

kondiau: Hardly to check without the game ID.

Walter Montego: What I want to say is that I spent too much time and effort to create the Stairs system and I don't want to change it when one person complains. A perfect system doesn't exist and there will be always someone who doesn't like it.
Btw, there is Stairs discussion board.

Walter Montego: If you don't see the point, don't play them.

Yes, it includes the empty Steps. But the compression once a month would remove them.

Pythagoras: There is no top stair. You can advance as high as you can.

Jason: http://brainking.com/cz/FAQ?ht=20

plaintiger: Just find yourself in the Steps and you'll see it.

Pioneer54: Such players are listed in the "Select one free player to play" combo box. Players which cannot be challenged are filtered out.

Pioneer54: Yes.

playBunny: I think a trap door would be more effective :-)

pauloaguia: Nothing happens. But I plan to add some restrictions for expired memberships. For example, if you don't renew within a week, all started games over the limit would be forfeited (for example, 10 games every day).

playBunny: It means "if you want to play the best, you must deserve it first" :-)

playBunny: Er, yes, BKR.

playBunny: 1) Yes. 2) Yes.

basplund: Provisional rating is not important.

Everything is correct.

basplund: What I can see is 2454. Looks pretty normal to me.

SwirlyShirley: No.

02i: That's right what you said. Improving the site. The site is not just one game. There are currently 76 game types and if a small number of them are not balanced, it's not a big problem. There are more important things to solve.

02i: If you don't like it, don't play it :-)

ScarletRose: It's one of the reasons why I created BrainKing.

alanback: That's another issue but it should be solved elsewhere [General Chat] if you want to.

alanback: No. What is not related to BrainKing, is absolutely off topic on this board. It has nothing to do with an intolerance.

ellieoop: Make sure your auto vacation is on [check the Settings / Calendar page], then all your games using the vacation are safe until you run out of vacation days. Beware, this doesn't apply on games with a green or red dot which means "no vacation used".

Pedro Martínez: No, between my approval and his/her first login.

MagicDragon: There is a link "How much is it in my currency?" on the Paid Membership page.

alanback: A small visual bug.

rod03801: Why should it be a bug? This feature was requested a long time ago.
