wetware: Thank you, i didn´t remember where it was. I think it´s not the best place and it seems a little confused. In the cube games the score is 1,2 and 3 for a normal win, gammon and backgammon and in the triple gammon system is 1,3 and 5. Maybe i think it could be explained much better.
Czuch Czuckers: The best way to add a link to it, is to goto the page you want to add, then use the 'Add' link beside the Show one. That saves any mistake when trying to add it yourself to the Context Menu list.
I have about 15 on mine, as i find it the easiest way to jump about the site, with out using the left hand column (dont use that in games as th e page loads faster).
Are you certain you have more than one thing in your list ? Have you got the box ticked on your JavaScript page in Settings, to show the menu there ? Thats all i can think of offhand
Czuch Czuckers: I have it there as well, but mine is ok at the moment
Sometimes the Menu pops up when i hover over show, but it is about 1cm below and to the right, so when i mover the cursor across to click on something from it, it goes before i can get to it
Its a casino ad, and it looks and acts normal on my main page, but all other pages it gets all jumbled and spreads out and covers my game boards etc, I do have ad block as well, shouldn't that take care of it? I will try IE to see if it is the same.
Family Man: If the add is interfering with the rest of the page maybe that's a bug or simply an add that Fencer failed to check properly. Check to see how it shows up on other browsers and if turning on/off any addblocker does any difference. Then PM Fencer about your conclusions - I'm sure he never intended for an add to interfere with the site... pawn or no pawn...
MadMonkey: I had many problems this morning before work (around 6:30AM Eastern US) but I visited the site a few times through the day during breaks at work and had no problems, and haven't had any problems all evening.
Jason: I got here about 10.00am our time, and it was useless for about 2 hours. I made 10 times as many moves on BugCafe as i did on here, which is crazy as i only have about 20 games there, Rest of the day is has not been too bad here until about an hour ago. Now i just keep getting

Its just done it again in another BrainKing Tab while i typed this.
It only appears to be here though, all my others i am using are fine
Tuesday: I'm planning to have regular interviews and then some others at special situations. Some will be chosen by the previous interviewee and some by everybody. And on occasion I may just pick one at random. I still haven't set it all in my mind yet, I'm just playing some things as I go along. I already have loads of ideas and I plan to have some surprises now and then
Bottom line is - if you think somebody could be a good candidate just drop me a line - all votes will count for something, either now or 5 months from now or 3 years, who knows. I have nothing against pawns unless someone tells me they can't be interviewed... hint - first one who gets 100 votes will get an instant interview, no matter if another one is already running or not
I really like that you have set a date. Much better than being in the dark on when to stop sending questions and when the interviewee will receive them.. very good idea!
Czuch Czuckers: No fair, I wanted to do the drum roll I had forgotten the new rule about the last interviewee picking up the next in line. But since some other people had voted for Vikings as well, I went along and asked him if he accepts the challenge. Since he said yes, the question period is now open. The votes from other people will be accounted for in special occasions, I'll tell more about it when the time is right. In the meantime if anybody wants to nominate someone else to be interviewed, you can still do it, weather or not a selection process is in course.
So, as of now, send me your questions for Vikings . Ask anything. He says the site won't be the same after his interview, and that we're all doomed, so it's up to you to prove him right/wrong . If there are questions you feel you can ask anybody, tell me about it so you don't need to send them for every interview. If there is any question where you want to remain anonymous say it as well. The clock is ticking and on the 14th October I'll create the questionaire to send to Vikings. So start writing
