Do you miss something on BrainKing.com and would you like to see it here? Post your request into this board! If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board.
Princess Alison: Lol. I've just come to the board after a day (I couldn't get online yesterday) and there were about 60 messages. Looks like everyone's whooping it up, so....
Princess Alison: Depends on which verb you're trying to get the word from. If it's from the well-known "smile" then it's smileys. If it's from the newly-formed "smille" (etymological analyses welcome!) then... you get my drift :)
alanback: I agree, I hate getting all those messages in the middle of a match. It's ONE match. Send me a message at the end saying I won or lost and that's it.

my post:
what about the idea of selecting your own background colour on brainking?
was a only a feature suggestion,are we taking a turn on brainking to lashing out immediately?I though we had evolved past that.
Eriisa: Oh, it does end a game -- as I said, a new game starts, but the match continues. I don't need to be told that a new game started, any more than I need to be told that my opponent moved -- I know that automatically when the game shows up in my list, and I knew it at the time I rejected a double (or resigned a game, as the case may be).
alanback: well, I thought it ended that game and a new one in the match started, but I thought maybe I was wrong.
The one thing I've noticed is that in a match, when one game ends the new one starts, and the msg is what catches my eye to tell me the new one started up.
Eriisa: A backgammon match with the doubling cube is played to a certain number of points. This usually requires more than one game to be played. A game may be worth 1, 2, or 3 points, in each case multiplied by the current value of the doubling cube (which starts at 1). When a double offer is rejected, the person offering the double is awarded points (equal to the cube value before the double was offered) and the match continues with a new game.
My point is that people often put up the cute offtopic sign () but nobleheart wouldn't be able to see that he would just see 109 with stars around it. So I think and should be seen by all. And by the way I am now back on topic
nobleheart: I don't have any hard numbers about translators. What I do know is the only really good translation software is an audio translation software being developed(i think by MIT). The free translators though on the market are beter then nothing. They definetly are not perfect and a human could do a much beter job. My point was that in my experience they usually work enough to let you have an idea of what they are trying to say. Not the exact words they used just an idea.
mctrivia:
re: yes I know. but 50% usually is enough to get the gist. Have so far only goten one message that the translater gave me no clue.

no offense but not true at all.I do work for amnesty international,communicate in several languages.
I have learned that there are many words,expressions,concepts that have no equivalent in english & vis versa.and languages that are non latin based are something else completely.
Why is it necessary for the system to send me a message telling me what I just did? I can understand getting a message when my opponent rejects a double, although I don't get any messages about other game events ("Your opponent rolled double threes!!" or "Your opponent left a blot on his 6 point!"). I suppose it's a vestigial reflex left in the system after the conversion to multi-game matches -- it was easier to leave it in than to program it out.
I know that game improvements take precedence over discussion improvements (whether it be pm, game discussion or discussion boards), but would it be possible to put a "preview" feature in conjunction with a spell check feature?
