That WAS a good answer. [edit] And, I like that idea. A place where we can shamelessly go see if someone else has the same stupid problem, right or wrong. 19. February 2007, 20:02:45 Subject: Re: NOT a good answer!!! Jason: Good idea. It could be called, "The board Fencer never reads."  19. February 2007, 19:59:31 Subject: Re: NOT a good answer!!!  Fencer: why not just create another board for questions such as...... it is slow today or is it crashing alot today , a page just on its own then no one would be scared to ask thesetype of questions , it would be handy for people to see if its just brainking or there own pc ect 19. February 2007, 19:59:19 Subject: Wow! Modified by Preacher † (19. February 2007, 20:03:47) I just went away for a little while, and people jumped all over that problem. Very Impressive! To answer BBW question, I'm using Mozilla Firefox. Also I scan my computer daily for spyware/adware/virus/etc. It runs on a timer like most people have, but I will run it manually and see if that solves the problem. Thanks for the input.Preachor † EDIT: I found that IE does not have the problem. I can makes moves on the games and delete messages without getting that download popup. Maybe its a problem with Firefox? 19. February 2007, 19:57:33 Subject: Re: NOT a good answer!!! Fencer: Thanks. But of course, nothing is ever really wrong. 19. February 2007, 19:48:31 Subject: Re: NOT a good answer!!!  alanback: Wrong! But you are right. 19. February 2007, 19:46:17 Subject: Re: NOT a good answer!!! Fencer: So is it wrong to say something is wrong if you are wrong, but right to say something is wrong if you are right? 19. February 2007, 19:40:55 I have been crashing a lot but seems to be ok now, glad someone else is I thought it was my computer 19. February 2007, 19:20:15 Subject: NOT a good answer!!! I'd believe it of MadMonkey, but now little old me. 19. February 2007, 19:16:18 Subject: Re: Anybody else crashing a lot? MadMonkey: Get a rest then. You probably play too much.    19. February 2007, 19:14:22 Subject: Re: Anybody else crashing a lot?  TexasToest: It has been real bad this afternoon (morning for you lol), every few moves its happening  19. February 2007, 19:09:58 Subject: Anybody else crashing a lot? It seems to be worse during my mornings, which probably means there is work being done on the site? 19. February 2007, 18:48:57 Subject: Re: Problems! alanback: Not even cgi scripts.  But I know what you mean.19. February 2007, 18:43:54 Subject: Re: Problems! Fencer: I probably used the wrong word, I was thinking of cgi scripts. 19. February 2007, 18:43:10 Subject: Re: Problems! 19. February 2007, 18:40:41 Subject: Re: Problems! Preachor: Show game is the name of the applet on the server that is used to open the game page -- have you tried allowing the download to proceed even once? It may work. Otherwise, try clearing your cache, something may be corrupted in there. 19. February 2007, 17:11:51 Subject: Re: Problems! Preachor: Also check your computer for spyware. 19. February 2007, 16:37:52 Subject: Re: Problems!  Preachor: What browser are you using? 19. February 2007, 16:09:19 Subject: Problems! Modified by Preacher † (19. February 2007, 16:10:22) I keep having these issues when I'm going into another game, or when I try to delete messages from my box. I get a popup to download a file. The message is as follows: Show Game which is a: application/octet-stream from: http://brainking.com Would you like to save this file? I get this problem often. I cancel the file download, because obviously its not a downloadable file. Then I click refresh and it brings me back to the main Game List page. Then I try to click on one of my games from the list and I get the same problem. Any ideas?! 18. February 2007, 22:15:05 Subject: Re: Team BKR Fencer: Could not of been or maybe i was distracted by the smilies  18. February 2007, 22:00:42 Subject: Re: Team BKR MadMonkey: Right. Isn't it clear enough here? http://brainking.info/archives/207-Team-ratings-and-new-smileys.html 18. February 2007, 21:05:38 Subject: Re: Team BKR Fencer: So the rating of your team players does not count for anything. You can have 8 players with 1900+ BKR, BUT if they have not won many games, they can still get an overall rating of 900 for example ? 18. February 2007, 20:59:12 Subject: Re: Team BKR MadMonkey: Yes. 18. February 2007, 20:48:13 Subject: Team BKR How are the Team BKR's worked out ? It seems it does not have anything to do with individual players in the team and there rating. So i presume it is done on results for that team in either a Team Tournament (one of Fencers) or a challenge (against another Fellowship, or both ? 17. February 2007, 20:59:06 Subject: Re: Single elimination Tulip: there are several hypergammon tournaments in which more than 1 player have the same score in the end .. they are all declared winner i would guess the same would happen if a 2 player final would end in a draw ? but i have never been in such a situation .. maybe someone can find an example ? ;) 17. February 2007, 17:59:09 Subject: Re: Single elimination  Tulip: If the tournament creator sets the game type to "1 win match", a draw leads to a rematch. The advantage of the lower rated player only occurs if it is a "normal game". 17. February 2007, 13:29:35 Subject: Re: Single elimination basplund: i would have thought that a final ending in a draw would go to another match? it does on other sites....ive been in a backgammon final for the last 3 rounds now....we are on rd6  17. February 2007, 10:02:48 Subject: Re: Single elimination basplund: Even a prize tournament ? I admit that it should be a very rare case, but taking the BKR at the start at the game, or even at the start of the tournament (in which case it can be a compensation for having had the harder pairings), seems better. But perhaps not better that selecting the winner at random :-) 17. February 2007, 00:22:31 Subject: Re: Single elimination nabla: I suppose it must be the BKR at the finish of the game, which counts as always. In theory you're right, but I doubt that anyone would do that much effort to win a tournament. 17. February 2007, 00:05:09 Subject: Re: Single elimination basplund: Makes me wonder, are we talking about the lower BKR at the time the game is started, or at the time it is finished ? In case of the latter, one player could sacrifice BKR points in order to win a tournament when he has a drawish position in the final. 16. February 2007, 23:17:10 Subject: Re: Single elimination WellyWales: Thanks Welly! I didn't find those rules on my own. In some games, like Logic, a draw is fairly common. I first thought my opponent had higher BKR, but now I see it was in fact lower, so that explains the outcome 16. February 2007, 21:49:11 Subject: Re: Single elimination Modified by WellyWales (16. February 2007, 21:50:06) basplund: http://brainking.com/en/Help?ht=66 If a draw occurs due to the game rules or an agreement of the players, the player with lower BKR advances to the next round (in case of equal BKRs, the player who did not start the game - black player in most games) 16. February 2007, 21:46:09 Subject: Re: Single elimination basplund: Doesn't that mean that EVERYBODY'S a winner?!   16. February 2007, 18:24:51 Subject: Single elimination Does anyone know what the rules are when the final game in a tournament finishes as a draw?  16. February 2007, 14:21:05 Subject: Re: Question Modified by toedder (16. February 2007, 14:23:26) AbigailII:  That makes perfect sense! thanks :)edit: The "=" sign just made it look like some result/ conclusion, which has something to do with the win/lose numbers. 16. February 2007, 14:14:05 Subject: Re: Question Gordon Shumway: It's the number of draws. 16. February 2007, 14:12:16 Subject: Question Hi there, I have a general question: on the game pages below the board, it says how many games of this type the two opponents have played and how they ended. Like
What do those numbers in parentheses mean? I wonder that since I saw them for the first time  15. February 2007, 19:35:51 Subject: Re: pauloaguia:Thanks. I didn't know what the numbers at the top of the table were for. 15. February 2007, 19:19:17 Subject: Re:  alanback: 290, and it's there. If you hover the smiley, some browsers show it's code. Or at least you can right click the image, and check it's properties - the name of the image is the code of the simley. But it's on the smiley's table 15. February 2007, 19:15:30 Subject: Re: King Reza: What's the code for that smiley? It doesn't show up on the table for me. 15. February 2007, 09:24:54 Subject: Re: King Reza: Ctrl-f5. 15. February 2007, 09:10:23 Does anyone know why the number of new messages on the right side of my pages is shown in black instead of red?  It's sort of hard to notice them. 14. February 2007, 19:49:30 Subject: Re: ContactLink Modified by TexasToest (14. February 2007, 19:51:00) Fencer: Hahahaha! I hate to say it, I'm used to a lot of strange things. But, unsolicited ads are more than strange!! They interfere with my enjoyment of the net. Ever heard that before anywhere? Thanks, Fencer, that seems to have worked. [edited to demonstrate some trait near intelligence] 14. February 2007, 19:41:04 Subject: Re: ContactLink TexasToest: What's the problem, anyway? Get used to strange things. 14. February 2007, 19:40:01 Subject: Re: ContactLink Fencer: Thank you. I will try that. It's not happening anywhere else, so that must be it. Tuesday: Right on, Sister. I'll take all the commission I can get!!! 14. February 2007, 07:34:41 Subject: Re: ContactLink TexasToest: Go to your Settings page and uncheck all banner ad checkboxes.14. February 2007, 05:42:43 Subject: Re: ContactLink BIG BAD WOLF: Interesting on your message that spyware was double underlined, and kicks up an ad. I've already written to Kontera, who owns ContactLink, told them they are the scourge of the earth, and anyone who puts software on my machine without asking should be sentenced to life in prison. I DID ask how to get rid of the nuisance. Thanks for your suggestion. Think I'll run mine right now. << < 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 > >> |
