Hrqls: thanks Matthieu

anybody else finding it painfully slow to load pages on here?

everywhere else loads OK.

What is it? -> EventBox (left column, between Massage box & Friends)

aaru: http://brainking.info/archives/610-Separation-of-system-messages.html :D

Bernice: Host Tracker says it is only you.
Which you could have found our yourself if you follow the instructions listed at the top of this page.

Fencer:


"Subject: You are the tournament winner

Turniej: null

You are the winner of this tournament."


I think that should be link with full information instead of NULL.

BTW
It is possible to transfer PM from Massege Box to Events Box?
(I have an archive with many news about the winners of my tournaments.)

aaru: Right, that's a bug. Not a big one.
No, it's not possible to transfer messages, at least not now. Maybe later. The problem is that the internal structure is too different from the former one, so I would have to write a converting script first.

Fencer: Thanks

Information from the left column: Tournaments (230)
Tournaments page, information from the top: open (234)
The actual number of available tournaments: 203 (4x50 + 3)

aaru: Just a little inconsistency.
An automatic script that runs once a month will fix it.

Fencer:

Fencer: your Host Tracker told me nothing....I saw plenty of UK, USA and Ukraine etc, but absolutely nothing to say australia.....and it is still damn slow.
May I ask....Is it EVER your fault, or is it always "us"

Bernice: well, if it works in the UK, USA, and Ukraine, then it really can't be his fault, so what's your point?

nodnarbo: hellooooooooooo...........I did say AUSTRALIA

Bernice: I know you did. Does that mean you're accusing Fencer of specifically providing bad service to Australia?

My point is, if it works in the US, UK, and Ukraine it's not the site's problem, there's something beyond their control that is slowing things down for you.

nodnarbo: *** Does that mean you're accusing Fencer of specifically providing bad service to Australia?

***

Grow up.....

Bernice: I'm sorry I attacked you personally, I just get really sick of people complaining to Fencer about the site being slow. He's obviously not doing it intentionally, and by now he knows that people have problems and has done all he could to try figure out the problem. Reiterating the problem every week or 2 is not going to make anything better.

nodnarbo: I dont usually have speed problems and only asked if anybody else was. I have no idea how the damned "Host Tracker" works either, and have found to be able to get a serious answer on here is like flying to the moon as we are treated as I D 10 T's.
thanks anyway.

Fencer: I'm French and my main page is all in french except : " Events ".
So, I give you the translation : " Evénements " if you want to write it in french....
Thank you.

Mélusine: You should refer your request to rabbitoid or Marfitalu. :)
http://brainking.com/cz/BoardAdmin?bc=105&ap=1

Pedro Martínez: I think Marfitalu has left this site because last time he was here was in June and if rabbitoid makes translations, not sure he can modify a text on a main page.

Mélusine: I'm sure he can. Or do you think that it was Fencer who translated all the contents of the main page into all the BK languages?

Pedro Martínez: I know some people make translations for him, but I think he's the one who makes the technical modifications.

Fencer: So, I assume this Event box is for those people who found that sort of message annoying. So, will they delete themselves after a certain amount of time? Or after the # in the box reaches a certain point?

I personally don't care, because I'm one of the weirdos who reads all those messages. (Usually because I like to click on my graph and remind my self how I'm doing, and that sort of thing). But for those who don't like the messages anyway, it seems at first glance that it's just a separate box that will get a gradually higher red number after it.
SO, I'm just curious.

rod03801: No, you must delete them manually.
But perhaps it's not a bad idea to delete events older than a month automatically.

Bernice: It's not our fault that you don't take serious answers seriously. Most likely because your point of view is too selfish to see it a little globally.

Anyway, I give you an explanation. The purpose of Host Tracker is not to measure a connection speed from every single country of the world, but to find out if a temporary speed issue is caused by BrainKing itself (all nodes would show a big latency) or your local ISP/computer/router/network/anything (all but 1 or 2 nodes are performing good). Even you should be able to understand that it would be hardly possible to perform a speed or throughput benchmark from everywhere, so whether the test lists Australia or not is pointless. The global result is the only thing that counts.

Gabriel likes that!

Fencer: I am sure i am not the only one who has created folders in the Message box, for Team results, Tournament results etc...which i then collate at the end of the month and post in the Fellowship

Would it be possible to make the folders we have created in our Message box ALSO be available in the new Events box?? I guess the only other option would be create new folders in the Events box, though the is no option there for it yet, though then i guess people would ask about moving message between the 2 (Message & Events box's).

I think all folders accessed from both would be best if possible

MadMonkey: Messages and events cannot be mixed because their internal structure is not mutually compatible. I would have to write a script that converts old system messages (from Message Box) to current Events but I am not sure if it is worth the effort. You can still archive tournament results in your Message Box and keep new system events in the Events page. Unless you want to do a yearly statistics, it should not be a big problem.

Anyway, I can create folders for Events, it won't be a big problem.

Fencer: ... and for yearly statistics, Ian can mix results came from both archivs. Excel stuffs... this I know, monkey!

Mélusine: I haven't touched the translation work for ages, but I'll try to catch up a bit.

Fencer: hmmmm you say You can still archive tournament results in your Message Box, well i can not. The last couple of Team & normal Tournament finished messages (from this morning) have gone to the Events folder

Looking at it again i think just Folders for the Events page would be better

Thanks

MadMonkey: I meant you could archive system messages that were sent to Message Box before the change.

Fencer: oh yes, sorry, i have done that

Fencer: I'm one of those who hate all the "system" messages, but I'm also lazy/don't have a lot of extra time - so I have TONS of Message box messages I need to go through and delete.

Any way to sort the message box by subject or from? I would make grouping and mass deleting a lot of message.

MadMonkey: Well, you want folders, you will have folders. Sooner or later.

coan.net: It could be done.
Until then, you can use the "show this user's messages" filter to list (and delete) all messages from the particular user.
Or if you want to clear ALL system messages from your message box, just let me know and I will do it in the database, it should be much faster.

Fencer: I don't agree with this : I want to run my message box and Events myself. It would be better if it was an option to choose or not.

rabbitoid: If you need some help....
I've noticed that the rules of the game " Camelot " aren't totally translated in french.

Mélusine:

This might help a little:

http://www.worldcamelotfederation.com/Camelot_Rules_French.htm

if a person is banned from tournaments
is there anyway for you to remove them from the hundreds she/he has already signed up for?

Snoopy: Sure, from all tournaments that are not started yet.

MrWCF: Oh thanks. Very nice.
But the translation won't be difficult : I've already made it for friends.

@fencer: I received the following message in the 'Events' section

----------
Game ID: 4857843
The game is a draw.

The13: old BKR = 1745, new BKR = 1729 (-16)
Kristyna: old BKR = 1569, new BKR = 1590 (+21)

Game type: Logik

----

The ratings in the message are wrong: My BKR is 1590, Kristyna's is 1729

The13: Indeed. Next update should fix it.

Fencer: I also received the 100 tournaments achievement, but in the message it appeared 0/100 (althoughin the achievements page it shows 100/500, for the 500 achievement, and I actually got the 100 as I should)

Fencer: thanks for the folders in the events box

Never mind, a simple restart later, and we're good to go.
---------------------------
For some reason the images in this game won't load. Dice Chess 10x10 (Somelaughs2 vs. nodnarbo) I'm playing other games fine though, and the page loading time doesn't seem to be any slower. I'm wondering if the games I am playing have the images cached on my computer, is anyone else having problems?
