Fencer: thanks muchly.....working just fine :)

How many pictures does the "image history" show for a persons icon?

Suggestion: Since the picture is still on the server and already approved, I suggest that there be an easy way to "select" one of your old icons rather then having to upload the image again. For example, after maybe putting a seasonal "Halloween" picture up, it would be easy to go back with a simple click to your old icon.

of course saying that, there should probable be a limit on how many icons the server will hold or you know you will get the person who will upload 30+ icons for them to keep choosing a new one each day of the month. (maybe a limit of 5 or 10) [10 icons since they are small, 5 big pics since they are bigger]

when i click this pix of me on my profile i get the bigger one with rodney dangerfield, is there a way i can switch those 2 pix whenever i choose to?

Roll a 1 or a 6 to get out.
And, Doesnt have to be an "exact" roll to get in "home" position...

The possibility to sort the playlist by priority. First klicking on timeleft, then games, to keep the sorting by time with playing only backgammon for example..

I find that the message boards aren't working properly with Firefox 2.0.  When I click on "reply", the page refreshes but no message box appears.  I have to click on "box" to get the message box.  In addition, when I want to edit my own previous message, when I click on "edit" no message box appears.

alanback: Works for me. I've just used the Reply button.

alanback: If you upgraded from Firefox 1.5 and still have problems, I recommend to uninstall Firefox and make a fresh installation of the 2.0 version, with no third party extensions. I had big problems with all pages, not even my bookmarks worked, until I did so.

Fencer: I uninstalled all the versions of Firefox on my computer (there were three!) and reinstalled 2.0. I still have the problem that I don't see a box when I click on "reply" in rich text mode. When I switched to plain text, I got the box.

alanback: Still the same problem in "edit" also.

i think its great that we can see our own image history but also think it would be good to see other users image history too

on the game move options would it be possible to have one that would give you the choice to 'move and go to next game with online friend'??

Fiona: now that is the best idea ive heard in ages..lol

imsoaddicted: lol thanks i was thinking of you and the amount of games you have when i thought of it

imsoaddicted: I am sure if you have a word with hexkid he will add it to his Greasemonkey script. I only have 5 options in my drop box now, the ones i need and use. Oh, and the priority games one.

MadMonkey: oh really how did you do that then?

imsoaddicted: I thought you used his Greasemonkey Script. Any game you want can be added as a Priority (or taken off), then when you opponent has moved it goes to the top of your next game to play list. I set all pawns to it, and any red dot games i am in.

MadMonkey: am i right in thinking you can only use the grease monkey script with firefox 2 cause ive had to delete again as it keeps freezing up on me

MadMonkey: I only have two in my drop down box , imsoaddicted yes it needs to be firefox)

imsoaddicted: For hexkids GreaseMonkey Script you need firefox but you do not need to use firefox version 2 though it runs faster with version 2.

Let's stick to Feature Requests, please.

A black box for globs to read only :)

I didn't know where else to ask this question, but it does concern a feature. I already know the codes to render things in bold and in italics, and how to create links. But I have noticed some write in colored fonts. How can I introduce colors into my fonts?

Marfitalu: Is that an option for paying members only?

emmett: If you understand b, /b & Links etc.... you should understand this

(font color="0000ff" size="+5") Hello (/font)

Replace the ( ) with <> and you will get Hello

Between the 2 " signs is an RGB code you can look them up on the web made up of letters and numbers for every colour you can think of. Size is pretty obvious i think LOL

MadMonkey: Wow, MadMonkey you rock! I don't even know what your message meant but it was a great read! (I was dancing around listening to Stereolab and looking at the island from my livingroom before I read it, and now I am inspired to get on my bike. I'll reread it again, but thank you kind monkey)

emmett: I think you, being a pawn, are limited to some HTML in your posts/messages. If I want to type red text, very much like bold or italic, I type

<font color=red>red here</font>

and I get

red here

If you do that, I think the result will be like my example with the < and > signs.

Thanks hexkid. That was very clear.

Would it be possible to have different min ratings for each game of a tournament? For example, if you wanted to set up a gammon tournament for the best players, a good rating for many of the variants would be 1800 or 1900. However, this would include almost everyone for backgammon and hyper backgammon. You could set up different tournaments, but this would be harder for everyone to find.

gambler104: That would be great. I have asked for that in the past.

I LOVE Loop chess. So, when I went to the Tournaments page I did a search for tournaments with "Loop chess". Several tournaments have exceeded their timeline but the "Loop Chess" game type has already started. But since other game types have not started yet, the tournament is still listed.

When a search for "tournaments to sign up" is filtered by a game type, and that game type has already started (can't sign up), could the tournament NOT be listed?

Could the Big Bosses please get a message when a Team Fellowship match finishes(and starts) please, as well as the Captain, just so we can the rest of the Fellowship up to date & post results.

we really need it. sphere froglet is the only kind of froglet i play any more, so when i play anti-froglet it's positively confusing to not be able to hop past the edges of the board. messes up mah mind!

not that my mind isn't already messed up. but that just messes it up more!

thanks, Filip...

The notifications about finished games, tournaments, etc. come in our inbox as well as the personal messages. They often say something that we already know and are not something that I want to keep, so that I am deleting those messages very regularly, in order to keep the view of the personal messages sent to me. This is a repetitive and boring task.
Those notifications are useful, but it would be much better if they came in a separate, new mailbox, called something like "Notifications". Then either we could leave them pile in there, either have a "Purge" button emptying this mailbox, either they could be scheduled for deletion after they are more than one month old, for instance. In the latter case, we could still choose to keep any notification we want, by archiving it.

nabla:

Fencer:Fast answer!

Fencer: Cool !

Fencer: just as a matter of general info, from now on. Does " " mean:

1. hey, I think it's a cool idea
2. go ahead, since you suggested it, you implement it
3. I'll tell Fencer when I see him
4. could bear thinking about
5. might be imlemented
6. should be implemented
   
7. will be implemented
   

rabbitoid:1 & 2

rabbitoid: 3 and 7.

rabbitoid: ROFL great stuff, dont give Fencer ideas though, you know what will happen

Could be some link to Fencer's TODO list, at least partial, here? I would like to remind about one useful suggestion regarding to team tournaments, which should be really easy to implement. In team vs team screen to mark unfinished games differently, f.e. in italics, so we can quickly look at unfinished games when we are interested.

Harassed: That would be a good idea, to know what was on his TODO list or things that have been requested and he is working on so they dont get request again. People seeing what he is working on (apart from his secret stuff lol) may even have ideas to help him.

Oh, how about a message we can put up when we are not at out computers like in Messenger. Like many people i leave my PC logged in from morning till night, but i am not always here. If we could put an Away, Doing Dinner, on the Phone etc...message up instead of Browsing main Page it may stop people sending messages asking you to move.

MadMonkey: Good idea, and the flag should be automatically reset when one does some different action than 'browse main page' to prevent misusing of it as cloak mode.

Harassed: Or it could just say watching x vs x game currently on the phone. That way you can be playing live game with someone but let people know it may take a little longer then normal to move.

why can we not start the next round of a tournament even though all relavant games are not over? if the players with most points have already clinched their spot. Then they should be able to start their next round instead of waiting for two slower players who will not have any bearing in the outcoming of the later rounds.

My girlfriend recently spent a month in Toronto and New York. We live on the West Coast, and when she left I got her to start a BK account so that we could play and chat while she was gone. (Her name on BK is ultramarine.) We made moves on a couple of games from across the country, but now that she is back I was concerned that we would both be playing from the same IP address and that one day someone at BK would think that both were the same person. After our current game of go 13X13 is finished, I decided that from now on we should only play unrated, uncounted games with each other online.
I suggest that couples and families who play on BK from the same IP address somehow register as multi-party users and then BK admin could have something set up so that all multi-users from the same IP addresses default to unrated, uncounted games. Such a preventative measure would limit the chance of cheating on this site, and that is something that has been addressed before on brainrook.com as well as on these discussion boards.

emmett: I disagree, most of the time cheating is extremely obvious, and easily achieved without usinng the same IP.
Preventing "law-abiding" players from doing this is about as useful as preventing me from boarding a plane without any liquids..

It was sugested that there be status messages like on MSN. If you do implement this could you implement a way that the autoplayer could set our status to either not online or to some special status mode while it is playing?

emmett: I agree with Grenv. I always have a game or two going against my son, who lives on the opposite side of the world, but every couple of years when we visit each other we just continue playing from our own accounts from the same computer. There's no way I'm going to throw away a game to him, or him to me, just to cheat the ratings!
