baddessi: But when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. I was wrong I guess


really though? When I am wrong, I say I am wrong, except when I say I guess I was wrong

Czuch: Judge Judy has a solution she tells those who appear on her prog. 3 words... "I don't know" or "I'm not sure"

(V): ....ahhh, now I know where your great wisdom comes from

Czuch: I must admit... she is a great common sense icon.

(V): ahhh come on she is a ruler it's her way or it's the highway you take LMAO:))) you must get a different show then we get here LOL:)))

I guess a person has to be wrong once in a while to know when they are right!

"GERRY": I don't think so, just she follows the law and deals with events quickly. I wonder why in many respects such simple matters can take ages in normal courts.. I guess da law system workers like making a buck!!

Are you really talking about "judge" Judy here? What is her nickname? I'd like to invite her to a game of Scrambled Eggs.

Czuch: ok..so I wasn't very convincing there, was I? Oh well...it was somewhat of a public apology.

I don't know...I'm not sure( *thanks V*)

Tuesday. I'm not really good..but glad I have at least one of you fooled

I tried to start my Firefox 3.5 in a safe mode (all add-ons were disabled) yesterday, in order to test if the mentioned performance problem (related to the browser, not BrainKing) would happen again. Now, after more than 24 hours, everything is still very fast and Firefox does not consume any system resources when it is idle (compared to 50% before).

Well, that means that it must be one (or more) of Firefox add-ons that causes the mysterious CPU load. The only problem is that I use about 15-20 of them, so it can take some time to find out the source. But I will try.

Anyway, if you still have problems to use BrainKing with Firefox 3.5, either try to start it in a safe mode or use another good browser (Google Chrome, for instance).

Fencer: Or if you do not use any Add-ons, use Prism (which is also an Add-on as well as an application made my Mozilla)

It is not a browser, and it is so fast if you are just wanting to play all your games

is there any way I can get a message from the trash box back into the in box?

Bernice: open the message, there is a Restore-button

Bernice: Yes, I remember I was hopeless the first time I made that mistake...
Go into the deleted message and in the upper right-corner is a button called "restore" use it

Thank you both....and how long have I been here

Probably asked before, but... Is it not possible to pay with MasterCard? I only find VISA as an option. If MC is ok, can someone point me to the right place!

Pason69: I am sure that both AlertPay and MoneyBookers accept MasterCard.

is anyone else having problems moving? the site is so slow for me. takes forever to load a page :(

Bernice: Mine is slow too but I thought it might be because I have too many browser windows open.....multi-tasking again

Bernice: Indeed. Over a minute to load a page.... if it loads at all...

Pedro Martínez: that makes 4 of us

Roberto Silva: I am the 5th ...

It's the last little bits that take the time loading...

well it is nearly 12 hours and nothing has changed....still as slow as ever :(

Bernice:
still extremely slow here too I gave up on Saturday but see it is no different on Sunday,

beach: the only way ive been able to play for nearly 2 days is to have 2 browsers open and while one game is loading i play the other one

its been very annoying since about 3pm Friday

I have also the slow site load :(

in Nyc i have tried everything immaginable : log troughout 3 different computers and 3 different browsers ( opera,ie and firefox) , i went in a store about 1/2 hour away from my home that is a provider of phones and internet connections ( Verizon) and i tried the same from their computer , i tried even to log from my blackberry and all same problem : slow slow slow slow slow and luckily for me i do not have many games to move ...

still no good here:(

Bernice: Very slow here in Las Vegas as well.

alanback: Same here in little old Wales,all day.You can bet your last pound/dollar/rand/shekel/euro it has nothing what so ever to do with this sigh(pun intended)t.

Carl: Oops i take it all back.Just took a move in less than 3 minuets.great going huh?

Carl: I'm not experiencing these delays with any other site.

no problem loading any other site.... just here. *shrug*

slower n molasses going up hill in January...

Rose: i'm not and haven't had any problems, just curious, is it location? i hope i didn't jinx myself.

wyoming and tennesee and maybe others this site has been extremely slow last two days........some sites mess up after playing too

The site seems to be working much faster now....thanks Fencer

alilsassy: It is extremely slow in Georgia also......I usually never have this problem. Hope it will be back up to par tomorrow...:} This is such a good site and fun to be on.....but when it gets this slow for this long ..... it becomes irritating.

Doris: its taken me over 1 hour to make 30 moves

Fencer: No mention of the clock being stopped, in fact no mention on anything

still damn slow here and no comment or enlightenment from YKW.

I am only playing games that are just about due to time out as it is taking TOOOOOO much time to load.....very exasperating

Hello folks,

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that if you experience a speed problem, it is not caused by BrainKing and not even by you. The site itself is fast as always and the servers show no unusual behavior.

I've made some tests that prove that the problem is in the network, most likely in some nodes of our ISP. When I check the line speed from different parts of the world, it is very variable - from 0.4 (very good) to 4 (slow) seconds. It is usually caused by a packet loss - some data are not fully delivered to your browser, so they are automatically send again etc., which results to a delay.

There is not much we can do about it, except asking the ISP to do something about (which is what we are doing). Anyway, even if BrainKing is probably a little problematic to use for some people, it is still working and usable, although it may take a longer time. I am continuously monitoring the average activity of BrainKing users and it is not as bad as it might look at the first glance.

By the way, the upcoming version of BrainKing will count with such situations and solve them by reducing the amount of transferred data to the least possible minimum. Our implementation of Texas Hold'em Poker is a good example.

Fencer: are timeouts going to be suspended until its sorted?

Well, I don't know about you guys but here in Portugal the site load is back to normal :D

This tournament should have started at midnight, but it didn't. It's listed at -9h30m on the tournament page.

AbigailII: It is started now.

Snoopy: Since no serious problems have been detected today, there is no need to stop the time.
However, this timeout system is starting to bother me and I would like to find a better global solution. Sometimes I regret that I ever created a site with timeouts. If I could start it over today, I would not do it again.
