yes, BBW pointed that out before I think.
I agree, that is kinda cool.

Also, the order thin is great now. Thanks Fencer

I think i have stumbled onto something new that has not been mentioned...

When looking at ratings for a specific game type you can see if the players that are rated are currently online or not. Pretty cool!

*edited for spelling error lol :)

Cindy: not an invitation. kevin: okay, I see.

ughaibu: Please read http://brainking.info/bugs.html. This bug is listed there.

Is it an invitation?

i have a red 1 by my main page but no game to move in.

I like the recent change where the "Move and Go To" box list the games in the same order as the main page (which can be by time), but recently I've been playing with the setting of "Move and go to next game of the same type."

Anyway, what I think it use to do is go to the next game of the type which has been sitting the longest.

now it does not, which means if there are a few people on-line, i only play those games - and the games that have been waiting the longest are still waiting even longer.

So is this how it works now? Plus is there a way to sort the main page by "how long the game has been waiting"? I like that option so I can keep playing all my games, and not just those lucky enough to keep jumping in front of those that have been waiting for awhile.

Harley, Fencer.. thankyou for the responses. Sorry if I'd repeated something already mentioned though, I must've missed it ... but did make a point of checking 'known bugs' page first :-)

Automatically.
But the script is occasionally not started due to server overload.

How do you start internal fellowship tournies?

I have one due to start at 7pm gmt+1 and it didnt start and i dont see a way to do it

Its now 8:40pm

Niki: It's not implemented yet with the new database model.

Please read to it my remarks on the screen chess board.

Niki, I believe that was mentioned a few days ago, and Fencer has it on his 'to do' list.

Any ideas as to my bug post further down please ? :-)

No strategy in Battle boats?
Maybe not the same as chess....

Caissus: I don't care if some users find a sense in it and some don't. It's just a feature and who wants, can use it.

I guess random positions are good for battleboats though, since that game involves no strategy anyway.

By the way, why are the pieces shown as black when I am placing them on the white side of the board?

Hmm, more messages are being written while I'm writing mine so that it isn't clear what I'm replying to.

Never mind, I see how to change the random setup.

Of course only legal positions should be possible.

I disagree. I just checked the random position for screen chess and saw the king on d4. Not only would I never want to use that position, if my opponent had the same position the kings would start adjacent to each other. Is that allowed? And how do I get to see a different random position?

It makes no sense if one side has an optimized position and the other side has a random (not optimized) position.

I assume theres the option to change any pieces we're not happy with? So it needn't be the same for black and white.

Random positions in screen chess is a good idea,but it should be the same position for Black and White?

I've added random position generator for battleboats and screen chess.

Once time is turned back on, the games that show "0" time left will time out. All other time will stay as it is now. (no extra time added.)

when time is started again, any games that are showing 0 mins now, will end with them the loser

Does anybody knows how "time left" will be calculated for already timed-out games after timer will be on again? Will be there any alteration for games that still have time to time out.

When I go to someone's profile and click 'show games with me only' it's not doing it.. is this just a bug to be fixed please ?

This Saturday. A day after tomorrow.

Does the time start on next Saturday again,Fencer?

Thanks Fencer.... Its clear now :)

IMupChucKing: Calculate yourself.

those extra points that go missing end up on ebay lolol

I win and only goes up 1 point. The loser goes down 8 points. Can someone explain the ratings for me?

Yikes!!!

So one game with a 21 day limit and 30 moves could take 6 1/2 years?????

Does anyone really need that much time to play a game??

Can one of the 'slow' players out there please explain to me why you would want to play a 6 1/2 year game? I know Kevin said that his opinion is that what ever the game limit is, is what you should expect from him to move.... although it is a shame that he will comit to a specific time limit game, and then not move or resign within that specified time frame....

It is :o)

Grenada should be fixed.

add weekends on over that amount and it could be about right . also that player might have holidays added to the amount .

I am playing in a 21 day limit tournament (stupid to begin with) But there are games with 40 something days left before time runs out. How does this happen?

Who is from Grenada here?

The Grenada flag does not work, just get the red cross

eeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr it mentions KM's who would be insane enough to be one of them......ohhhhh maybe myself was on that list ;oÞ
and 2 CS reps ..well at the time 3 were reps LOL

Pioneer54 - I know I've had a problem like that before (not on this site, but elsewhere), and I've been trying to remember what I did to stop getting those messages.

Try to go to Tools, choose Internet Options

Click the "Advanced" tab

The 4th & 5th option under browsing is about displaying script errors - UNCHECK both of those boxes and see if you still get those error messages. (Note: depending on version of IE you are using, will depend if the instructions above are exact or not.) :-)

try the computor board .

Thanks, mrloupcity, for a reply. Yes, I had tried clearing out all the cookies, and then came back here and got the same problem. Another check of temp files reveals that almost same operating cookies had been reloaded, so I figured it had something to do with the ads here.

It's manageable, but a real nuisance. I have to hit an extra keystroke to open each page!?

Hey Fencer, I love stats - Care to give us some new fun stats?
