Thema: Re: Payment Methods

Purple: Because Brainking doesn't accept credit cards, but every other company does. That's why I gave Fencer's blog today a vote of negative one. The last time I tried to use paypal, I put in the wrong address by accident, then they made me wait five weeks before they would accept payment, just to confirm through visa that I was who I said I was.

Seriously tho, I wonder why Paypal would not have a gateway for webtv when they have a gateway for cel phones.

Thema: Payment Methods

It is stated that there are 5 options. As a webtv user I can't find one. PayPal is no good because it wont support webtv hyperlinks, same with Moneybrokers. The BK Representatives are gone, Credit Cards are no good and there is not even an addy to send cash. Fencer..why is is SO hard to give you money? LOL

tippyc: the xx will show the internal variable names instead of the real text

so the first few lines in the main menu on the left will show :
Global_GameHeader
Global_MainPageLink (28)
Global_NewGameLink
Global_WaitingGamesLink (2015)

while the 'send' button to send this message shows 'boards_send' and the button to send this edited message shows 'boards_editthispost'

the translators assign the real text to those keycodes .. the site shows the real text of the selected language to the user .. to make it more readable ;)

alanback: i think the xx will show you the language that the page was originally written in, which in most cases will probably be english, maybe czech

just a guess, but it might be helpful

27. Juli 2007, 00:25:55

Thema: Re: Key mode

alanback: I didnt either. As a matter of fact, I switched to ru, and then xx to see what it would do and it went back to English. I agree with pauloaguia this it is most likely only seen by Translators. Just as there are a few things that I can see as a Global that others cannot.

Is it the /en that you replace with /xx? Sounds like a really nice tool for the Translators.

Thema: Re: Key mode

alanback: It's a tool for translator to know the key for the texts they need to translate. You can emulate it by replacing the language part in the page URL (pt, en or whatever language) with xx

Thema: Re: Key mode

pauloaguia: What is key mode?

26. Juli 2007, 21:06:59

Thema: Re: Key mode

basplund: When you click "Key Mode" your default language is set to xx just like when you click on a flag. Since that setting is stored on the server, the next time you login you'll be in KeyMode.
The sure way to get out of it is by clicking on a flag, to change your default language again.

Because of that, whenever I need to go to key mode, I simply type in the xx at the address bar, so it doesn't get saved, since in Simple Mode the flags are invisible.

Thema: Key mode

Does anybody else have the same problem?
Every time I'm logging into the site it switches to key mode, and I have to change the xx to se or en, or whatever language code. It's also independent of which browser I'm using.
I've cleared the cash and all too.

Does anyone have a clue to what's wrong !?

Thema: Re: Ratings graph

nodnarbo: It might have to do with 3 of the games have under 4 moves - so may not "count" towards the rating - even though you have a rating. So probable just one of the "loop holes" in the coding. Probable will take a few more games before the graph shows up.

pauloaguia: ah, but I have a ranking

26. Juli 2007, 00:49:57

Thema: Re: Ratings graph

nodnarbo: yes, you can't see a graph before you have a ranking. It's the same reason why your ranking is hidden until after you have at least 5 games. If you could see the chart, then you'd know what it is...

Thema: Ratings graph

I have a button to click to see my rating graph for Behemoth Chess but there is no graph. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I only have 4 completed games?

Anyone had this happen to them?
When you go to your dice poker game the green background area indicating what you need to roll is no longer green but is now a white background like the rest of the board. Don't know if there is something that has to be checked to make this feature work or if its a glitch. Any help would be appreciated.

Oceans Apart: If your opponent would be cheating in that way, you'll certainly notice it

I am sure Fencer could go ahead an reverse games in which people would have used it - but that would be a lot of work to do, so it might be better to not frankly tell it on BK board.

Thema: Re:

Oceans Apart: Lets wait until Fencer has a chance to fix it. Most people are OK with it, and will only test it with unrated games and such - but there are a few on this site who will do anything to gain rating points - which some would call cheating, but they would probable say something like "Well the system allowed me to do it so it must be OK" or something like that. So sometimes it takes Fencer a little bit to find the problem and fix it.

Kunoichi_Power: Are you certain it is a bug and not a different rule brainking uses compared to one you may know elsewhere.
It would be a shock if there was any serious bug in any game here at present(maybe a small one not fixed yet), they have all been tested thoroughly.
What type of game is it in ?
