Hrqls: “someone else took the same pic with their camera and it worked”

Bernice: i assume it worked to upload it now since we can see it ?

this is the pic in question...Im getting ready for the holiday season and cake decorating.

Gouwe gozer & Hrqls: the file size is small...my programme automatically resizes them when I send to my email...someone else took the same pic with their camera and it worked...so Im looking at perhaps it is my camera, but I have never had problems with it before.

And yes I can upload it to another site - photobucket to be exact...so I don't really know :(

Maybe to large, to many colours.... what else can I think...
Is it an idea to send all the players here a message with that pic? So it's not necessary to upload it/put it on your profile
Come on Bernice, be creative

Can you upload it on another site?

Bernice: did you also check the filesize and the size of the picture itself (width and height, in pixels) ?

try to resize it to something smaller and try again

Artful Dodger: .jpg

I already checked that :(

Bernice: What's the extension on the file? It's probably not supported :)

thank you Rod....I have just uploaded something else and it worked....now why didnt that one work??? hmmmmmm.....it is a pic I took with my camera but it has worked before.....oh well....

Bernice: Have you tried uploading something different? Is there something different about this particular pic perhaps? I just uploaded a test pic, and it worked for me.

Sorry, I'm not much help I guess.

All I can say, is I was able to upload something, AND I can see from your settings, that you are NOT subject for approval.

rod03801: still wouldn't upload.

rod03801: thanks :) I will try again....

Bernice: The only answer I personally can provide is, No, your albums do not require approval.

Gabriel Almeida: ROFL....it wasn't of course and I would still like an answer....but don't look like it is very forthcoming

Bernice: Well... it is problably a "pornographic picture", as this one   ! 

I have just uploaded a pic to my photo album 3 times...first 2 times I didnt check the size and the 3rd time I did...nothing is there.....is there a reason, or are they also on approval?

nodnarbo: No effect.

Fencer: so when I block all scripts from google-analytics what effect does that have on my speed and your data?

Bwild: Of course it does. Please note that new version of Google Analytics is asynchronous, so even if their script is slow, it does not affect BrainKing page loading speed (as it used to do in the past).

crap....yes it does

Fencer: this site doesnt use google annoyingliticle....much faster...even on slow "cough" local days! lol

Fencer: Thanks very much!

Mousetrap: Sounds like a temporary local DNS lookup failure (local = at your place). If it happens again, try to use IP address instead - http://81.91.83.6

skipinnz: I think so too.

Mousetrap: Got to be at your end as I've been on for over 6 hours and I've had no problems

Kicked off again in last 2 few secs. Wot is going on?

rod03801: That is a very good explaination but does nothing to solve the problem

MadMonkey: it just kick me off. Would not reconized Brainking.com. What the heck is going on?

Mousetrap: It does not so much effect brainking for me, BUT does on Facebook. It must be something to do with the States. They are asleep in our morning, and as you say i have no problems anywhere, but from about lunchtime it gets slower....can not think of any other reason

Mousetrap: Personally, I haven't had a problem in ages.

Just a reminder to check the usual article out. http://brainking.info/archives/414-About-the-complexity-part-1.html

and harder to access brainking at night? Seems that early morning in the UK is the only time we can get on with no trouble these days

rabbitoid: Hehehe... playing against him, and being able to finish the game without resign it, should give an achievement too, Rabbit... :)

Justaminute: When you play against His eminence, as I do, it's very simple: just roll. play whatever you like, the game won't finish in your lifetime anyway.

rabbitoid:
No idea how you play clowning backgammon but your post was very entertaining.

furbster: Furbuster you just need to play somebody who hasn't got auto pass. That way you can achieve it. LOL

rabbitoid: Congrats on the achievement, i actually still need that one, maybe i should take auto pass off ha

Gabriel Almeida: Ah, clowning backgammon, my favourite subject

I roll and move pieces
wait 2 weeks (for a "5 day tournament")
His eminence passes for the 10th time in a row
(can't do that in a hurry, you need 2 weeks to ponder the subject)
I roll and move
Wait 2 weeks
What a suspense!
His eminence passes for the 11th time in a row (you never know, something might have changed)
Wait 2 weeks
Continue to shift vacation days. You never know. Maybe the rabbit died of boredom?
Wait 2 weeks
What's the lifespan of a rabbit, anyway?

What do you know, I DID get an achievement for this game: "Force the opponent to pass the move 10 times in a row without using the autopass in a single game of backgammon or its variants."

Isn't life a treat

MadMonkey: Yes, I agree... that could be the idea!

furbster: Especially in Team Tournaments that are for the lesser played games, it would hopefully encourage more to try as you say

MadMonkey: i think brains for the winning team in a team tournament is a good idea, it'd encourage more people to play, and they would be more competitive

Gabriel Almeida: It would be GREAT if ONCE a year Fencer set a few normal Tournaments and a few Team Tournaments with either Brains (or even Membership) as prizes

Fencer: Team Tournaments started with brain prizes. It would be great if you do that again, Fencer. It would be good for brains utlility, and to stronger/more dinamyc team tournaments...

ScarletRose: ahh i don't think they put mine n the right place ha

ScarletRose: LOL

furbster: hon.. everyone got their.. ahem.. Free Brain when they were born.. *giggle*

MadMonkey: Wow, an old post. Just to put that post into context, that was BEFORE the current system of brains was in place where they are used to buy "REAL" things like membership.

An overview of the post - have a game site, a fake "currency" that people can earn - and then use that fake "currency" to buy special things - special things that would not take any actual money away from the site owner (like lost membership), but other little perks here and there - like maybe the ability to post in color for a week being something that can be purchased with the fake currency.

Fencer: Have you thought anymore about the discussion that started back in 2004

HERE & HERE by coan.net

It sparked a discussion about having Brain Prizes for all Tournaments. It has been mentioned a few times since (i have it on my list for you lol)

You thought it was a good idea at the time any new thoughts on the matter

It would need a bit of thinking about, the only addition i would make is those being members of winning Teams get a Prize as well. (if only a few Brains)

furbster: By referring new paying members.
And I prepare another option that should be much easier to everyone.

Can anybody remember how to get the free brains, since we can no longer buy them at the moment?
