Many thanks, Niki, wake-up time in England!

I love the game Halma or some might call it chinese checkers. It's one of my favorites and I'm pretty good at it sometimes. Would love to see this game here.

Halma is already in my TODO list.

Oh GREAT! I just love this site more and more every day! LOL

How about a backgammon game or two Fencer?

As he has mentioned before...it is on his TODO list :-)

Hi Fencer , well i don't want anything from u since most of other players r aking the same i'm gonna ask,lolll, Ur doing a great job here . I have one ? to ask u , when i play my games , they go down to the box where its my opponents turn to move but they r still red in coulor when they r in that box , even when its my turn to move they r still in red, that is if i login from IE , but if i login to Brainking from the messages that i recieve in my mail everything looks fine and thx :)

NightEagle1: If the links are red in color, it only means that they have been visited, nothing more. Or do you mean something else?

well i didnt c it so i asked...thanks kevin

Do you have a way to send a message to more than one person @ one time? The reason I am asking is because alot of times I am talking with someone on different games and I hate to be rude and just click off the net without telling them I'm signing off for the day or night.

Not yet. But it is possible to implement. I'll add it to my TODO list.

Why don't you add a Todo list that can be seen by all,this might tell everyone that it has been requested and you intend on doing it at some time in the future,elimanate some of the repetion.

OMG, there'd be no room on the site for anything else!! LMAO!!

how about a move later option, I find I like to move in all my games before chess & loop chess, but when I hit next game, a chess one can keep comming up, so it is back to the main page, click on a differnet games etc, is there any chance of a button to move games down the list? Cheers!

Just a suggestion but you might be able to use a drop down box or something like it. It wouldn't take up hardly any space on a page. You could even add extras for those that are members and have more than 20 games. It still would give you plenty of space on the page. This way, instead of hitting "next game" you would hit the drop down box to choose which game you would like to play next. Does this make sense? Not too good at explaining things and you may not be able to use it but I did want to suggest it.

Mom: Hey, that's a great idea! Yes, I can do it as you suggest. Thanks :-)
Goonerg: I think it could be acceptable, couldn't it? The "move later" feature would require a change in the database structure which is always risky.

Very acceptable to have a drop down feature of waiting games.

Well like , today i logged in and half of the links on the main page were in red :)

It would be a good feature to add.

Done! For paying members only ;-)

thx Fencer & Mom of 2 brats, that is an excellent way to do it! Cheers!

WOW! what an awesome feature Fencer! thank you sooo much.. I love the option to choose any game in my list to go to next.. thank you!!!!!

hey ya know what? rose this fencer guy..i think we need to keep him around what do you think?..we ask for simple things he gives us simple things...hes ok for a full time game site programmer that has a bunch of people throwin ideas at him...hes almost ok....ohh ok...hes ok..haha....if anyone needs that translated into another language...i can not do that for ya sorry but if your readin this you do not need this translated so just rememeber in any langauge this site rocks!!!...es

Yes, it sure is!! Very very nice job Fencer!

By the way, I REALLY REALLY like the indication of which piece was taken with the last move!! :-)
(although, when my opponent double jumped me in Anti-Checkers, it only showed one piece was taken...)

Kevin: Ha, that's what I forgot about! I'll fix it for the next update :-)

Oh wow! I really didn't think you'd take me seriously! I'm glad you did and I'm sure there are
others that will be glad also. You might also think of showing a sample page of what us "non-members" are missing. I'd love to see what you've done! ;-) Pictures speak a thousand words. LOL

Thank you; it's great. Excellent that you have also restricted it to paying members.

Mom: I take seriously each good idea. And the page of features for paying members only is a good idea too. I'll add it ASAP.

ok i know ya been thru but but a few times now someone offered me a draw and when i go into show game? theres nothing there...is there anyway that this can be made easier?..i had soemone yellin at me in a checkers game i sent them and they sent me draw offers a few times and there was nothing there to accept it...i ended up resignin that game there was nothing i could do..i know your workin hard oin this site but its hard to figure out this draw thing one time it shows the next it doesnt...

eddie: It is possible that someone offered a draw to you and then made a move which automatically cancels the draw offer. I'll add more description to the Help page soon.

Hi Fencer, no, Eddies right, I offered a draw 3 times in a game of maharajah, they couldn't accept it, so they offered me a draw and there really isn't anywhere to accept! I resigned in the end too!

That's not possible. When I play with anyone, draw offers work perfectly. I'll try to offer a draw to you in our game.

Uh-oh, oh-uh! Everybody but me was right. There is really a bug! I apologize to everyone. I finally know what to fix. It will be okay ASAP.
:-)

Try it now.

Did u forget it Fencer or it comes with Halma??

1... Pente
2... Keryo-Pente
3... Go-Moku
4... All Pente & Go Variations

Come on Fencer! :-)

Go-moku is Five in a Line, with 2 small changes to the rules.
1) in Go-moku, 6 or more in a row does not count. Here it does.
2) In Go-moku, the 2nd player wins when the board fills up. Here it's a draw.

I'll add Pente ASAP :-)

actually Kevin... I err'd... I meant Go and its variations... lol

Maybe Fencer could use a break over the holidays to be with family instead of being barraged with requestes every day.. Just a thought.. He does soo much for us I think he deserves a vacation as well. Don't you all? Happy Holidays to Fencer and his Family!

Yes I completely agree! :o)

Thanks :-) I'll definitely take a rest because I am sick [a flu or something like that], so I am at my bed, drinking hot tea and programming new features on my notebook ;-))
And Merry Christmas to everybody.

hope you feel better real soon.
HAPPY, HEALTHY AND SAFE HOLIDAYS TO ALL.

I know, i know, i'm not supposed to bombard you with requests while you're sick, but i have to mention it before i forget it!

Would it be possible (in Checkers and Tank Battle mostly) to indicate how many pieces have been taken (most likely beside the picture of the captured pieces) by each player? (It gets kinda annoying counting either remaining or captured pieces to find out how many are left.)

Thx Fencer :)
I just wanna wish everybody here a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

Is this site just for adults? Is there a kids version or their own safe site hiding somewhere? I deal with kids everyday and most of them talk about getting on the net and playing games. The only reason I ask is because my children asked to play and I felt somewhat uneasy because of the fact that you could talk to different ones and with kids they might give out their email addy or some other information. If you don't have anything like this for the kids, have you ever thought about it? They could always have the games part without the message system. They could even have the same options to join with parents permission. Or would this be too confusing? Just a thought.

I allowed my son to have a few games on GT, but I made sure it was with people I'd played before (I asked them first!!) and I was OK about him playing, and I supervised too, he never went on without me looking over his shoulder!!
I've not heard of any games sites just for kids, but if there were I wouldn't let my kids near them. Its like 'kids' chat rooms, its where half the paedophiles meet kids. Too dangerous. How would you know it was really another kid they were playing? I think the only way to keep them truly safe is full supervision when they are on the net.

Kevin: Is it right that you want a small number indicating the number of captured pieces just next to the actual captured pieces? No problem :-)
Mom: This site is for everybody. There is no adult-only material and never will be. Moreover, there are no ad-banners and I hope we will never need them :-)

Does anyone here know of a site other than All Mixed Up where you can play Ataxx? Fencer would like to find clearer rules for the game.

Try...

or...
http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/ataxx.html

Hope they help some.
