You witness against a top criminal. You are put in a witness protection program. You use a new name, move to a tiny village where noone knows you. You hear the doorbell ring. You appear to be the 1000th inhibitant of the village and suddenly find yourself in all the newspapers and on television.

thats not what you want! thats not how you want to end!

lets find out if you can escape

Fencer: I see now, Thanks for the info.

Uninvited: It doesn't work with games where no vacation can be used (green or red dot).

I thought when you use Auto. Vac. you will not time out in games.
Yesterday I went to my mothers house and stayed the night, I got back 26 hours latter and I timed out in two games.

Fencer:


Awesome   

Fencer: Thanks , Thats fantastic news , thank you

Thanks to Eriisa, the PayPal payments have been reenabled and should be working with no problems.

pauloaguia: Brains system is to be improved very soon. As a part of the upcoming July Action.

pauloaguia: It woldnt be an eventually buy thing. If you refer someone who joins up and pays for a lifetime right away then I'm sure there would be a ton of free brains for you! See what fencer says..

I was just wondering: how many Brains does a paying member get for referring someone that eventually buys a lifetime mebership?

BIG BAD WOLF: Nice. Thanks.

whopper: If you have it checked (and javascript able browser and everything), it will give you an option next to reply of (box) - which will bring up a place to post a quick reply - saving you from having to click reply, wait for page to reload time.

What are dynamic form links?

pauloaguia: Thank you, thats good to know LOL

volant: Only weekends, no vacation days. You can check the FAQ entry on the subject.

What does a little green dot next to the number of days, in this case three, in a game invitation mean?

WatfordFC: That is correct, it has been asked by paying members in the feature requests board.

Smilies can now be seen whilst used during a game with a non-paying member, is this correct or a glitch in the system.

Czuch Chuckers: Do you have extensions installed? Try disabling them.
Do you access BrainKing through some proxy? Try a direct access.
Do you access BrainKing directly? Try a proxy :)

Can you see this game page correctly (that link goes through Anonymouse)?

Jason: yes, i ws thinking the same

SafariGal: because that would be not possible and not wise lol

SafariGal: anything right now, I am about to start timing out in some games, or using my vacation time!

Czuch Chuckers: why not get one of the resident experts to remote link to your PC and fix it for you?

Thanks for all the advise.... I tried everything, and still no luck!

Czuch Chuckers: Try "View / Text Size" ...
then "Normal" in Firefox or "Medium" in Internet Explorer.

Czuch Chuckers: Which browser do you use?

alanback: That is about the best tidbit I have ever heard! Wonder how many folks try it? LOL

WatfordFC:

Czuch Chuckers: That happened to me recently, just clean everything out and re-boot, thats what i did and everything is fine now. Hey it didnt stop you from thrashing me at backgammon this afternoon lmao

Czuch Chuckers: we know that !!

my pond games seem fine, but all the other games, I cant play....

Ctrl F5 didnt do ity either!

Czuch Chuckers: ctrl f5

I tried to clear my cache, but it didnt help anything....

Czuch Chuckers: Kid must have broken the board in your cache, clear the cache or hold up a picture of a backgammon board so the computer remembers what it is supposed to look like.

I had a child visit recently and he banged around on my keyboard while I was on this site, and now my game pages will not load properly.... I only see half a backgammon board, or other games show no peices etc. any help?

Fencer: Have you checked out Neteller?

Walter Montego: For specific reasons. Some choosed not to use the euro, some maybe not fulfill the conditions and for the new countries it will take some time. Next year Slovenia will introduce the Euro. Many of the Eastern European countries use the euro as a complementary currency. Czechia also belongs to the countries that don´t want to use the euro I think.

gogul: I don't see Czech Republic in your list, but Fencer takes euros. :)

25 countries? They've been doing some expansion lately, eh? What's with the other 13? Don't like the euro for some reason, or is it a case of national sovereignty and money? Do they other 13 have to accept euros?

Walter Montego: The euro is today the currency of 12 of 25 European Union countries: Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland.

Antje: Your profle say you're in Germany and married to AndersP. I thought he lived in Pennsylvania? If you're in Germany, it might be real easy seeing how that's right next to Czech Republic. If you're in Pennsylvania, you should be able to do as I can here in California. Each state has different laws. Believe it or not, most countries of the world tightly control access to money, especially money leaving the country and they place all sorts of controls and fees on doing it. Also, the governments run the banks in most countries. The United States doesn't do that and private businesses can sell money orders and wire transfers. They charge what the market bares and in some cases it's free. You own bank, if you're in Pennsylvania, might have the money orders for free with your account as part of the service. They might have the wire transfers too, but it sounds like you've checked into that and found it to expensive.

Walter Montego: thanks for that info. Ill try through Eriisa first, then if that doesnt work (since its Paypal??) that will have to be my next choice. i didnt know you could buy international money orders, thats a whole lot cheaper than international fundss transfer through a bank, which i thought was the only way! ill have to remember that for next time. Thanks for that info!

tonyh: I just realized that you're in England. Perhaps it works differently there or in other countries other than the United States.

Edit: Wait a minute. England? Doesn't England use the euro? Why bother with an exchange? Just get a euro money order and send it in. 30 euros in England is 30 euros in Czech Republic, right? Just like a buck in California is a buck in Nevada.

tonyh: What exchange rate? I buy the money order in U.S. dollars. I send it to Filip in the Czech Republic. If it's an international money order, they don't charge him anything to cash it. Least ways that's what he told me. If you send him a personal check or a domestic money order that's something else and the Czech Repbulic has very high rates for those transactions.

Example:
Today a one year Rook membership costs 30 euros. The exchange link says that today 30 euros is the same as 37.7058 dollars

30.00 EUR = 37.7058 USD http://www.xe.com/

I go to the liquor store and buy the international money order for $37.71. There's no exchanging involved for me or anyone. That cuts out the middle man for Filip too. There's the cost of the money order and the postage, plus you have to wait a few days for it to get to him, but that's it.

tonyh: Please do, you must shop around, there are alot of travel agents now who offer no commission.

WatfordFC: I will check tomorrow!!

tonyh: I am sorry but i have to disagree, i recently went abroad and got the full amount back, there was no commission, the rate was 1.41 and that was exactly what i got. That was from a small sub post office not a main post office.

WatfordFC: I agree that the daily rate is good - but Post offices deduct their take from the rate - or charge you a commission. And Banks are worse. If the Euro is 1.44 to the £, then you can bet the banks will be giving you 1.38!!
