Bwild: I could be wrong, but I got the impression there would still be fellowships, but there would be an additional "product" where people that just wanted to have a "club" for discussions, could do so. (Since SO many fellowships have been set up for just discussions, and they were actually intended to be used for Teams for specific game types). That's my interpretation anyway.

AbigailII: I never heard of anything like that. Please send me a message with your MoneyBookers account email address and I will try to ask them for an explanation.

AbigailII: Ugh, that's frustrating. I personally didn't like Money Bookers (I don't remember why). I have been using Alert Pay, and have had zero problems with it. It is pretty similar to PayPal

I've tried to take advantage of the "code red" promotion. To do so, I created a new moneybrookers account and transferred EUR 36 from my bank account into it (using IDEAL). This was successful, and moneybrookers confirms I have EUR 36 in my account.

At the same moment however, they locked my account for all outgoing transfers. Which means, I'm out EUR 36 - and have no BK subscription in return. Does anyone else have had similar moneybrookers issues? I've used them without problems in the past (using a credit card), but they now wanted more information for a credit card transaction that I was willing to give them - hence the direct transfer route.

Bwild: That's easy, my friend. The PaidMembership page shows only new subscriptions, not the renewed ones. And since it really can be confusing, I will remove that list too.

Artful Dodger: That's correct.

Bwild:  Well it's probably just the open board that will change.  That's how I read things.  You'll be able to create your own board with your own circle of friends.  I think. 

Artful Dodger: I read that...its just not very clear...kinda like yesterdays blog...about ALL the people taking advantage of the xmas special....kinda confusing when you only see 1???http://brainking.com/en/PaidMembership

Bwild:
public discussion boards will be replaced by a new system that would be
focused on groups of friends, event comment threads and a rewritten
module of problem reports or "I am lost, please help me" inquiries.

Bwild: ohhh, say it isn't so!   I think there is a change of some kind there.  But I can't remember what it is.  hmmmm, maybe  I'll read the blog again. 

am I to understand that with the new 3.0 version, there will be no more fellowships or specfic topic discussion boards?

Can some1 set up a poll for me about my JaN, 8Th = ElViS's B-dAy StArT @ 4:30
And the 2 picks are
1) should we wait tell his B-day to start
or
2) have the games start when they get full now

thxs for any help on this...

beach:lot of problems like you in last days here in nyc

MadMonkey: thanks maybe its just over here

beach: It is fine here in England

anyone having trouble with the site tonight besides me cannot get my games to load

Fencer: Its good to know the new version of BrainKing has made such great progress.
60%

rabbitoid: Thank you kindly, and to the others, for timely and concise response. I will issue a brief note to Fencer, and also ask him to refer to the notes here, and whether he wishes to handle it or delegate to a moderator is alright with me.

BK can't control what unruly individuals will do or say, but they certainly should be able and willing to enforce the expressly written codes of conduct. These offenders need to be put on notice!

Pioneer54: Your best option as well, is to put that person on your blocked user list. They will not be able to send you private messages, nor will you see their in-game messages.

Pioneer54: I agree with all you too It looks like it's normal to use bad and rude language. It's a nice idea to have a site like this as a safe heaven, even it was not a family site, it is just the way how we treat our opponents/friends. If there's no one to play against this site is useless...
So report, give warnings or delete those people

Pioneer54: you can also report it to a global moderator which you may want to do since it is just about bed time in Fencers country

Pioneer54: I agree with you. These abusive people think they are big fish in a small pond and that this site will die without them, but in reality, it is quite the opposite.

Pioneer54: The address is Fencer. And please DO complain. there has been a lot of that lately.

This is a family site, thus foul language, sexual language, abusive personal attacks and threats ARE NOT ALLOWED on BrainKing.

The text is, of course, verbatim from the "user agreement". So, where would one (myself, that is) go to report another for reprimand for violating this clause? I don't want to print the sordid details in this forum.

Snoopy: In October I had problems with log in. Also in other sites like kurnik.pl.

Tuesday: If you buy a rook you can start a fellowship with an "Outdoors" board and choose your own mod's. Sounds like a great topic.

Snoopy: Yes, in October i think. I have Firefox 3.7 on here, which is still early in development, which i think comes out in May/June next year

MadMonkey: just crashes on everything for me after about 1 min

oh well good job ive still got ..lol
ive just been reading up on firefox 4 they reckon it be ready sometime next year

Snoopy: Well, i can everywhere now, BUT like i said it is sooooooo slow. I type in the address and hit return, and it just sits there as if it is not going to do anything, then after a good minute it will start to load the page

Snoopy: Ignore the PM i sent you

I can get on everywhere apart from Facebook using Chrome, BUT it is VERY slow

Fencer: really strange now ive managed to get in using chrome but every time i click on something it crashes
i shall remove it and download it again

Snoopy: Works fine for me with both G Chrome 4.0.245.1 and Chromium 4.0.249.0

Snoopy: No problems at all. But it sounds like a cookie issue. Make sure cookies are not disabled in your Chrome or blocked by a firewall etc.

anyone else having problems logging in using google
just keeps taking me back to log in page everytime i try

MadMonkey: Thanks......:} I thought it was saying that the particular game in question was a draw....lol...ding...good morning...:} another cup please

Doris: yes, it was a 2 game match and you won that one, where as you opponent won the other...so 1 : 1

2 games match
The match is a draw.
Score: Doris: 1.0, AlsknWolfGodess: 1.0

Fencer: yes, I won the game, but it says it's a draw? Is there something that I'm not seeing there?http://brainking.com/en/ArchivedGame?g=4205378

Doris: 2-game match, 1:1 score?

I'm a bit confused.......Why is this game a draw?
Crowded Backgammon (AlsknWolfGodess vs. Doris)

lsmiles44:There are several ways:
1. You can choose one from the list of "Waiting games" on the main menu
2. Or go to "New game" and choose a game to add to waiting games list for others to accept
3. Click on a player's profile and invite them to a particular game
4. Post what you'd like to play on here and I'm sure someone will invite you, to get you started

If you need any more help please ask.

lsmiles44: What would you like toplay ?
