thanks rosie for showing me how to set auto vacation!!..silly me never knew it was there ;o)

no....my server went off so i couldnt get here..good ole' NTL ;o)

Did you turn it on?

i was off site for 3 days (last wed to saturday)...no auto vacation kicked in for me?..i timed out in 21 games ;o(

I thought it was like that, the puzzling thing to me though is that if someones timeout triggers it and there was another game to time out an hour later, I would have expected the game with an hour to immediately change to 25 hours since the vacation day has already been marked. Instead, the system still lets the 1 hour to go game run down and then bops it up by 24 hours.
This is good but unexpected

The system checks for the normal vacation first. If the day is not marked as a vacation or weekend, it tries to use the auto vacation.
It means that once the day is marked by the auto vacation feature, it is a normal vacation for the rest of games.

how does the auto vacation thing work for mutiple timeouts.
ie If my game with klokan is about to time out now, and then does but his auto vacation kicks in and extends the game length by a day, does it subtract one day vacation off his remaining total?
If so (I assume it must) what happens to the next person on the list 1 hour laters whos game times out with Klokan and then gets extended? Surely the system wouldnt charge him 2 days for the extension. but I have noticed in all cases that the system will always wait for the time to drop to minus time before extending.

Can you shed some light on how this works Fencer?

Note that I am Pro auto vacations and this is by no means a complaint, but it would just be so handy to see how many vacation days left someone has. I think this should be publicly viewable as it is not private information and effects no one.

Thanks

Harley..of course you should go "trick or treat" :)
My point is that deleting his posts doesnt help..banning for at least 1 month or its the same soon again.

Andersp, its not very often that we go SO off topic, and its not every day that I have to delete posts. Its unfortunate that its halloween, I've been out with children 'trick or treating' so I wasn't here like I usually would have been. We do our best to keep this board clean and on topic :o)

...and tomorrow we have the same old song again :(

Everytime it's off topic we are told to take it to General Chat

I'm deleting all off topics now, IM. Applied evenly I hope.

It seems that being "off topic" and "personal attack" are good reasons to delete a post. But they are not applied evenly to all posters.

I suggest a safe way to use discretion when moderating, and not come accross like a hypocrit, is to simply say that you are removing a post due to your discretion, and quit using the PC friendly "off topic" etc, cause once you post that as a reason for one removal, it technically must apply to all. So sad :(

Look again. My webtv is very slow

Ok

Andersp - I never said anything about this board, my reply was to the post about the Jokes board.

Sorry BBW you were wrong. The moderator for this board was just on-line...nothing deleted, no one banned :(

Yes, special in that you have to pay for it.
Free pawn accounts cannot post pictures.
Membership is very cheap

How can I display a picture next to my name ?
A lot a people have it!Does it require a special membership?

Nope but here she is

harley is not the moderator of Jokes.

Im sure Harley will delete the posts, but ban? ..not so sure about that.

What about it? Once a moderator is on-line, they will delete the bad post and bad the users.

And about Jokes Db's?

Harley!! What has Ughs posts to do with Brain Kings structure, features and future?!!

If it's as long as you can remember then how can you remember the cause?

cool

In Oz we have a couple of weird ones to.

You have Buckley's chance or varieties such as "Buckley's and None" etc meaning you haven't got a chance in hell.

Also, when you are incredibly slow, you are said to be as slow as Brick Bradley

Google is our best friend... Hogan's Goat. :-)

Hogan's Goat is code for Shagon Tago, a feared but very slow preditor of Leopards suffering from influenza

LOL @ Purple.
I remember my first day at boot camp and they eventually managed to form us up in thre ranks and then when we marched off, rather than saying "Left right left right" like I expected, I heard this ridiculous "Owf Ite Owf Ite" I think that was the last time I actually smiled until about 8 weeks later

Surely the master of KM is an expert in anagrams.

In the Navy at Officer's Candidate School during brigade drill many of us were told we were slower than Hogan's Goat. Everybody pretended like they knew what it meant. It has to mean something. :)

:o) I'm old and I've never heard of that saying. :o)

Old people know it. LOL. (American saying)

Hogan's goat?
Never heard that saying.
Does it have anything to do with Hogan's Heroes or is it another Hogan?

My webtv is slower than Hogan's goat. All three sites.

if it is on different sites same problem, suggests a problem with your own PC or your own ISP I would imagine

Yes, lots not only here but on goldtoken and itsyourturn as well. :o((

no probs here Bill !!!
All is loading fine

Lots of loading problems today. Anyone else?

ROFL @ BWild and Purple.

Sorry Harley :)

Parties aren't allowed on this board ;oD Try general chat!
