Bernice: Love the diamonds girly. Christmas pressy?
And as to the subject of discussion.........I didn't even bother asking to have my time out games reinstated after the clinical death because I am so "over" this site. Enough with breakdowns, shutdowns and slowdowns. I would love a return to the game site I joined a couple of years ago where it was fun to come and play instead of being weighted down with little red numbers and fancy crap I never imagined let alone thought I might want or need.
PS. I wish my cursor would turn into a shining sword of steel so I could rid myself of the beast for good!
show Fencer the money and he MIGHT do something you want, but I very much doubt it......too hungry and ...... get rid of the silly dragon thingy with the castle layout.....looks like a kids play area....Im still waiting for the damsel in distress HAHAHAHA
Binabik: yea, that has been my request (along with many others) - that is just to have a very striped down version of the pages - with just the information needed (like game, game stats needed to play game, and that is about all. (along with a link to the "full" in case you want to know what your BKR change will be, what tournament it is in, etc.....) (I wrote in detail once what should and should not show up on the page somewhere.)
I'm not having issues right now, but that still does not mean I would not like to see this request. This is first a game site - so a page that has a way to play the game without all the extra "fluff" would be a great addition to this site.... not to mention hopefully speeding up site speed for players.
Binabik: I agree, I found since christmas that this site has been painful to attempt to play on it. It takes forever to make a move, it has become a chore for me more then a fun place to come and play. I know we aren't supposed to complain about the speed, but I agree maybe alot of these extras we seem to be getting are really not need, after all its supposed to be a game site, hopefully the speed improves in 2008
Sometimes I wish we could have a twin site for BK - without all the bells and whistles, just a site where you play the games. It seems that every time improvements are made, it takes the site several days, at minimum, to recover. For the last week, again, it's been so slow - the pages load in pieces, it takes forever to connect and again there are the darn white pages - "Try again later"...... Of course there will be times when there will be some problems - but this is getting so frustrating. Oh, I know, I'm not supposed to say anything about it anymore, but sorry, I consider it my right as a paying member to bring this up... again...... especially since plenty of other players are experiencing the same thing..... again....
Fencer - Thanks for the explanation - and i can only imagine the frustration of such an event from your point of view - thanks for being so quick with improving the site's ability to detect such a horrific event should it happen again in the future - i suppose its only through time and experience that problems such as these are discovered - but its good to see that you are on top of fixing these things as they present themselves. Thanks again!
hmmmm someone fill me in, the site is back working, yet it had been down 6 hours when i last tried to get on
When did it come back ? What about the games that have timed out ? (not mine, but someone mentioned them on BrainKing Google Discussion Board) No mention of the clock being stopped, in fact no mention on anything
MadMonkey: I added an additional board to a fellowship but wasn't able to add a link to it on the other boards other than in an actual post or put a descriptive message on it. It would be helpful to be able to do that.
Fencer: The addition of Little Boss is a good idea. Thank you for that. I was able to add a board onto a fellowship but not edit it thus only doing an unfinished job, and it would have been useful to be able to do that. Would it be possible for a little Boss to be able to do that, please?
alanback: well coan.net already mentioned it .. but a bit cryptic as he said he had his weekend set to tuesday :)
i always switch my weekend to the days most profitable before i leave on a vacation (this vacation sat. and sun. are the best days for me as i leave early sunday morning and come back on sunday
i always let automatic vacation take care of the first few days of my absence (as my opponent might not have moved .. and that way i save some vacation days :))
