Hi guys, I'm new to this site and I registered in the pawn registry. Now I'm trying to remove myself but I don't know how.

good by to those that are gone & or just leaving to all that are still here to all that are just joining
& enjoy yourself & have fun here

ok enough about making fun of this specific person ... the question about vacation days was relevant .. the rest doesnt belong on this board

Come on England: Seems to me there should be an annoyance achievement award. Clearly deserved here! And there's a bit of irony in her posted name:Charity. Not so much!

rabbitoid: best answer has normal from you Rabbitoid

Come on England: That must be it. She hasn't been on since April. she must have set the vacation days before leaving as a last act of kindness because she figured you were overworked and need extra thinking time. Then when she reverted to pawn she enters a new category and gets 10 fresh days. Of course, unless she logs in she shouldn't be able to set those days.

SL-Mark: yes but she was a rook until 6 days ago

but still confused has to why one game in a tournament should go to 22 days when all the others are set at normal

Come on England: Pawns are not abe to use auto vacation. Instead the vacation days are set manually under settings. When these vacation days are selected, it will reduce the number of available vacation days and naturally increase the time before time out occurs.

Of course, selecting vacation days and then later cancelling them, seems to be a ploy to irritate and confuse some that might be watching ;)

alilsassy: no she never used any vacation days because she never used auto matic vacation
so she would have nine days left

that wasnt my question
i would like to know how a 5day 5 hour time out game can be put at 22 days before time out
unless im missing something obvious im LOST!!!!!!

alilsassy: those 9 days were there about a week ago...I looked when someone was happy about the fact they had timed out on some games, and I was confused then.

Come on England: I thought this person had ran out of vacation days.....I see 9 days remaining. Yes, I'm missing it too.

but why has my opponent got 22 days to move on this game
when the game time is 5 days 5 hours per move
Nackgammon (Come on England vs. angelstar)

rod03801: Ok thanks rod:))

rabbitoid: lmao no i'am all ready there i don't think they are to safe there I don't need a stressful life thank's tho

rabbitoid:

"GERRY": Not THIS board, that's for sure. There are "chat" like boards for that. Thank you.

"GERRY": Try The One and Only Flame Pit
They all seem to accumulate down there

Fencer where do you post on here to meet & marry a good women

:))

Fencer:

Artful Dodger: Hey art is that killer dog for sale:))

Artful Dodger: Well, RTE had been created before Chrome emerged, so it was never tested with it. I'll check it later.

Fencer:  If I past a tourney link using rich text editor:

MadMonkey: Yeah, I used it for a while. It didn't seem significantly faster (I never had complaints about speed, personally), and I missed the things I used FireFox for.

Chrome is keeping me perfectly happy.

rod03801 & Artful Dodger : If you used Mozilla's PRISM you wont get faster, as it runs websites as applications rather than inside a browser

You can get it as a Firefox Add-on or a stand alone application

Fencer: I haven't experienced any problems with Chrome here, personally. I use that now instead of FireFox, as I was sick of FIrefox using up so many "resources".

Artful Dodger: Thanks. Just out of curiosity, what is not 100% compatible, regarding Chrome and BrainKing?

Fencer: That's pretty cool tool! You can even get email reports on site availability.

I know people like Firefox but it runs slow for me (not sure why as I've reformatted) but Chrome is fast. Very fast. So one thing that seems to give me problems (not just on BK) is when I use Firefox. Chrome isn't 100% compatible for use here but it's still very fast for my needs.

FrancescoLR: Furthermore, if you try to check out Host Tracker test, as it is clearly described at the top of this board, you would know that the current average response time is less than 1 second. It proves that BrainKing is not slow, globally said. We cannot be responsible for local network problems.

FrancescoLR: Nothing. Check your connection.

yesterday i stay over 8 hrs on computer and blackberry to made a total of 389 moves !! when i put record of moves i made that in less than 1 hour !
what is going on ????

cowboynoel: Go to the settings on the left hand side, then click on calender and mark the days off that you need.

how do we go on vacation here?

plaintiger: "score of finished games" is the score in previous, finished games (or matches) between you and your opponent in this game type. It doesn't concern the current match at all. Note that if you play a match of several games, it is counted as one game for all statistical purposes.

So 1:4 (=0) means that the player mentioned first has won 1 game, the second player has won 4 and no games have been drawn. When your current match is over, one of those numbers will go up by 1.

plaintiger: I believe it means the results of other games between the same opponents.

okay, i see this question's been asked on here but i don't see that it's been answered, so i'll ask it too: what does the "score of finished games" mean? i'm in a five-wins match; each of us has won two games so far, and the "score of finished games" says it's 1:4 (=0). i'm guessing the '4' is the number of games played so far...but what is the '1', and what does "(=0)" mean?

thanks...

Not one problem in California!

No problems either for me in France.

Snoopy: i had no problems either ... of course gouwe gozer and i are both from the netherlands so that doesnt say much ... maybe the problem was while crossing the sea/ocean

you could try to bookmark the ip address of brainking and use that .. this will work as long as the ip address doesnt change .. and it doesnt need a dns so it might be fast if the problem is with your dns

Gouwe gozer: it was the fact that alot of ppl couldnt even get the log in page up yesterday
i tried for over 2 hours it was very annoying
ive now bookmarked the link Fencer gave us so if it happens again i can check..lol

I'm almost every day online, depending on my available time on the day and sometimes in the night. Sometimes I stay very short, sometimes for a long(er) time, but I can't remember BK was slow for the last several weeks. No problems at all
If I understand well the EU wants to install a fast network all over Europe, if that's true and this dream comes to reality we've nothing to complain in a "few" years

Bwild: I hope so, yesterday I couldnt even get BK to load....the castle came up and that silly dragon, but nothing else...I couldnt even sign in.

Bwild: No version of BrainKing can solve occasional network problems. That's how the internet works.

brainking 3 should be so fast!

rabbitoid: I've just made another test and all nodes show OK status with less than 1 second response time. So I guess the problem is solved.

Fencer: Sorry, can't do that from here (work), the firewall won't let me through. I can use a browser, but that's it. I can't even ping a server.

rabbitoid: It might be interesting if you post a traceroute output because, of course, my own one is flawless (probably because it does not cross our country border).

I've also tried an online traceroute tool to check the route from some place in the world. Looks like there really is "something on the way":

Trace complete

rabbitoid: If you experience speed issues, I always recommend to visit http://host-tracker.com and check BrainKing accessibility from different places around the world.

Which is what I have just done and it shows that there is no problem in about 65% of tested locations and the rest is showing a "no reply" error message. Since it is definitely a network problem somewhere, there is nothing we can do about it - BrainKing is fast and stable but some network nodes are probably malfunctioning.

Somewhat slow today
I mean really slow
way beyond turtle
snail is fast by comparison
I'd say approaching Cardinal speed
