beach: several times in last year. took a day to figure out what happened and to relize i clicked a button fast and missed it,lol. glad your back. the fustration for me was driving me crazy to figure it out but to do it again like i did months later was really crazy :)

crosseyed:ment nothing really was just a statement of how i use it.sorry. I;M about the simple life. Which was what you miss understood in my message. sure i like it, it's new and helps others. as a comment i thought it was simple to understand but i guess not.sorry. enjoy!i was not saying anything to attack you in any way. was just commenting on how i used it.

I'm such an idiot I thought I did that all ready

beach: click on the english flag ;)

beach: lol just click on the English flag

I have accidently changed the language on my screen, now of course, I cannot figure out how to get it back to english

BIG BAD WOLF: nope ...tested it out over a few days and my account couldnt get them but my son could get them seconds after (on the same pc or even a differnt one )

And how about transfering brains like membership, after winning them in action points contest? Will it be possible or not. I would like to have it but probably there would be too much players abusing this system with second accounts fitting top50 to get those points, so probably there won't be possibility to transfer them. (btw I won 100 brains!) : )

Jason: The secret points changed location a few times last month - could it be possible you had an "old" location where it already changed when you tried?

Jason: No, you can.

Fencer: I knew where they was last month (as i have already told you )but i couldnt get them with my account ,i tried with more than one pc aswell even my sons pc , then my son would try after me in the exact same place i tried and he would get them ok ....which shows i knew where it was and that my id wont work with the secret points for some reason .

so i mightt as well not even waste my time anymore trying ;( , but its unfair that i cant join in the fun of the chase .

Jason: It means you didn't find them yet. The algorhithm is more complicated this month.

Fencer: I bet i still cant get the secret point with my account though ;(

Fencer: thanks for that

imsoaddicted: No, now you can find them with any browser.

am i right in thinking you still cant find secret points if you use firefox or IE7

whopper: Ah! Thank you. And that certainly fits what I've seen.

Walter Montego: The answer is in the column name.
The little square thing is there if the person is online. Why some people have it for one game but not another, is because their online status changed.

While I was checking the rankings of the Dark Chess ratings list I noticed a little square thing after some player's handles. When I hover the cursor over it, it will let my click it and send me to the game invitation for that player. What I don't understand is why some people have this after their handle and most people don't. Or if it looks the same for a different person viewing the same page. Or why some people have it for one game, but don't have it for a different game. I looked around the site for an answer, but I wasn't able to find out what the deal is. Is this something I can turn off or on? Does it involve the Friend's list? Where can I read about it on the information or FAQ page as I didn't find it in either place.

By the way, the "Help" page is a real nice layout. It's too bad there's no information there! Least ways on the links I clicked on I got most blank pages and no help.

Question for whomever might know - I've got a couple "open tournaments" on my tournament page in my profile that are long over and done with but still listed as open - can I get rid of them somehow since they didn't go on their own? Gracias

SafariGal: The brains were given as a prize.

I dont think we should be given the option to transfer brains. This would be far too unfair to Fencer and the site allowing far to many "free" account for nothing. I have always been a firm believer in earning your own food etc and I feel the sane should apply to brains. If you can personally accumulate enough for a free membership or the like, that is great!!! But until you do, you should have to keep accumulating. This is the best way to benefit Brainking by ensuring the maximum number of people are out there trying to bring new members to the site etc.

MadMonkey:

nabla: I like that idea, would not have to show up as a new message until you say goto the Message box.
Could be called 'Junk Mail' LOL and be beside the Archive box showing how many messages are in there waitign to be deleted lol

It is very nice to have a third mailbox, but those users always ask for more... What would be of even greater help for me is a fourth mailbox where all non-personal messages would automatically go (notification of finished games, tournaments, etc.). It is a very repetitive task for me to delete all of them in order to keep only personal messages in my inbox.
(Especially annoying when playing match backgammon, where every single game generates a message)

nightmagic: I have no idea what you are on about. Unless you are referring to the tournament board which has nothing to do with the new messages box system or this board. If I did not know better, I would think you were trying to cause an argument. But that could not happen on these boards as there are too many moderators eager to delete post lol.
As far as I am concerned the new Message box system works for me.

whopper: i just tryed sending a message to achive and it keeps bringing up a blank page

Fencer: Checking the "Select all on this page" also selects the two boxes on the bottom, making it possible to delete All messages by mistake. Any chance of changing this?

crosseyed: it worked, you lost, delete, you win delete,lol. did you forget some leave messages as they win or lose????

playBunny: Perhaps having the unread messages bold and the unread messages the same. Also a Delete and Previous would be nice alongside Delete and Next... Looks like you opened up a new line of requests with the improvement with the message box!

I like the new message box system.

Fencer: Lol. Thank you. I'm getting more out of requests here than I ever did on the Features Requests board! Just one extra tweak, if I may. Could the unread ones have a different background or be in bold, rather than using italic as the indicator, please? Italics is rather too subtle for those with high-resolution monitors and those with poorer eyesight, especially as we now have the option to have an unread message some way down the page or even on a different page.

Summertop: It always says done with errors for me , sometimes the text is not visible untill i highlight it.

Fencer: Yup - looks like that works now. (now just to go through tons of messages and start to delete what I don't need.... )

BIG BAD WOLF: Try it now.

Fencer: Seems to work - I moved about 7 messages at a time to the archive.

Then I was looking at the archive messages, and for one of them I clicked on delete and next. I think it deleted the message, then sent me back to the inbox (instead of the next message.)

Fencer: thank you much appreciated 

TJ: I did a couple of days ago with froglet, but its seems fine now

Anyone else have problems accessing it? About 75% of the time, I get an error saying the server can't be found. If I wait for an hour or so...then I can get to it just fine.

TJ: http://brainking.info/index.php?/archives/13-Todays-troubleshooting-tips.html

BIG BAD WOLF: Try it.

Anybody having trouble with their games loading? It's taking a long time and there are just boxes with X's. Help!!!

I have a lot of stuff in my inbox that I would like to save, archive - would be cool if I could just check many messages and say "send to Archive.

Fencer: Excellent new features Filip, thank you................nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, about transferring brains

playBunny: Sure thing.

Fencer: I guess that's a pretty handy one for people who don't read their messages! ;o), but far more useful is to be able to mark something that's been read as unread so that if you don't have time to reply it won't get forgotten or lost. Is that a small enough tweak that it could go online before the major work?

where are all the Atomic Chess teams i have 11 members and verylittle competion for our team

King Reza: Fencer did mention it be suspended until later today yesterday

CRY ME A RIVER:Yeah.  There used to be a red sentence mentioning gam etime was suspended, but I can't see it anymore either.

King Reza: It dosn,t show up on my sheet,like it has always has:)
