Since I started to use Firefox, I haven't had any of these problems. Ever.

Or you could download Lynx, and you wouldn't have to worry about any images ever again!

Never a problem on my Macintosh G4 Cube.

Firefox has no problems at all!!

Seriously, I'm having no problems with IE 6.0

Arctic Warrior: I am as well Artic.. been having probs for over a week now.. I have called my ISP and they have done everything they know.. it is DEFINATELY BRAINKING..

ScarletRose: No, it's not.

Fencer: It's been working fine for me
:o{P

I been trying all day to make my games moves. Looks like I cant set a vacation day up for Tue the 15th and I also cant play my games (no graphics) So now i lose all those games? Even tho I been trying to make my moves all day....

Fencer to restart our games I don"t want to win games like that
:o{P

Arctic Warrior: do you have some one you can trust???? give them your password and tell them which moves to make on your behalf...there must be a problem somewhere and there is a long way from Scarlet to where the Moose poop in Alaska :)...sorry private joke...

I did have problems earlier in the week , as did a lot of others...just let it lie and maybe Fencer or Liquid will find something:(...Fencer says nothing is wrong, but like any good cook, yours is always the best until it is found you have left the main ingredient out:)

a poor similie but a valid one :)

Arctic Warrior: What exactly is happening? You can see all pages but no graphics?

Fencer:
Game pieces and smileys along with the user pics are unavailable to me.

I just switched to IE and all is fine now. I'm not having any issues with Firefox at any other web sites.. Its weird...

I have an idea ... but I have to wait for Liquid with that.

as I said....any good cook can leave an ingredient out....just wait and see :)

no fighting. I still think for @ least, this site out of the 5 I play @. Is the best 1.
:o{P

Looks like certain American ISPs are ignoring our third-level domains. So we've switched the images back to brainking.com/images and everything is coming from the same domain now.
I'll add a switch to the Options soon because the former img.brainking.com could work for some users better.

The problem for me was I'm using Firefox and had disabled off-site graphics. Adding img.uff.cz to the allowable sites fixed this problem as Dano advised on the computer board.

Fencer: Thanks.. I am seeing my boards again.. and the site doesn't feel sluggish.. maybe that fixed it here..

*keeps fingers crossed*

well I keep losing access to BK all together

Lost access for about an hour, 2 hours ago.

What is one hour, compared to the age of the Universe?

as a percentage?

LMAO

Fencer, what is one hour? It explains the theory of relativity. One hour without BK can seem like an eternity. But, one hour playing on BK seems to be gone in just a few seconds.

Depends on the age of the Universe. LOL :o)

13.7 billion years old.........

We can't. The data show this, with a 1% margin of error..........

"compared to"?????????? I don't understand.......

Hmm my memory was perfect!!!(Very unusual)
I just found a link from NASA. Click here......

Chessmaster1000:Look at chessmaster's picture...he created Earth...he should know LOL

it has probably been asked already......why are all the Ponds games going way over their times, and will I have to sit up all night so as to not miss the next move???

BerniceC: Because you cannot expect from 5 years old server which had to be replaced a long time ago to work properly 24 hours a day.

.... I am in a game that is set up for 7 days, and my opponent has not moved in 6 weeks!... even with weekends added in it should have timed out in like 10 days or so.... has game time been suspended for some reason or another??

LionsLair: he's using his vacation time, he will run out soon

Vikings:
... so while on vacation you can pick and choose which games to play or not?... my opponent last moved 4 days ago according to thier player profile....

LionsLair:

WOW!! through further review I see that she has 325 games being played and her turn in 310 of those!... amazing she can find time for that many games... it must be sad to not have a life outside of her pc screen...

yup, He's probably using auto vacation, but he will run out soon for the rest of the year

LionsLair: there's quite a few people here who do the same thing,theres only 2 ways to cure that, 1.) play one day games, but they still can use vacation. 2.) buy a membership, then you can have enought games going that you don't mind players like that

LionsLair: she only has 8 vacation days left (you can see that in her profile) .. so she will time out for real in your game next week on saturday or sunday

Vikings:
planning on #2 option as soon as my membership on IYT is up next month... :o) ...with the hope that they fix the dice program here, where a player must play forced legal moves in 'gammon games...

LionsLair: What do you mean "they fix"? I am the only developer here :-D

Fencer: I think LionsLair means "they" as in it would HAVE to take 2 Fencers to maintain this site :)...hehehe
UMMMMM would that get me another 3 months membership?????

hahahahha

Fencer:
my mistake, please except my humble appology... I had no idea you were a one man army... I guess I assumed that since Brainking has grown so much in the past few years that you have had to recruit some help in it's upkeep and maintenance... again, I appologize... no offense intended...
while I'm at it though, I'd like to ask about the dice program... I posted on this a bit on 'feature request' back on March 5th or so... is fixing the dice program that tough of a task? ... if a legal move can be made, I think an opponent should be forced to make that move...
thanx, and looking forward to becoming a member of the Brainking family soon...

and when I try to write up an announcement for it in my notepad to make details.. the link doesn't show up.. and when I click on the edit button.. it takes me back to the sign up for the pond.. ??
