cariad: ok, thank you very much for your help

Princess Alison: There are a few ways. One is to buy it as if for yourself then explain that you want it transferred in the 'notes' box on paypal (giving membership number and nic) or message Fencer directly about the transfer.

Can smebody help me, i would like to buy membership for somebody on here, as they cant afford it, please can somebody tell me the best way to do it.

same here Princess Alison the only other name I had for her was ginger, but I will give it a go.
Thanks Harley

If you post at the board, somebody there may know her real name and be able to search.

harley: Yes, but she wont be going by the name PriscaPan, and i dont think she ever game me her full name

Oldhamgirl theres a board set up specially for missing people,

http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=103

I think they have websites listed there where you can search for missing people online.

oldhamgirl: Yes, i was playing with her everyday, then she disappeared, all of her games with me timed out, i a just as concerned as you are

Is anyone a friend of PriscaPan in here, I was just wondering what had happened to her, I dont know what part of the states she comes from and I am just hoping she is ok

Lamby: no problem just curious is all. thanks mook

mook53lhd: Hi, read the General Chat board & things may become more clear :o) This conversation should also be carried out on there rather than on here

playBunny: wha happened . i miss something.?? i think because of the anonominity of the board ,some people are apt to vent.personally on this board i myself don`t see why .i can see on a political board or philosophy,even sports things can get heated up. as long as you`re not cursed at,or otherwise slandered or defamed it might be good for the digestive juices. the thing is something you say in passing or think is a casual remark may push someones buttons .flaming thats an interesting way of putting it. intentionaly an obvious intent to get someones goat i agree is wrong. but how is 1 to know.??? i think we`re adults & we should expect a little criticism given in the right spirit.i`ve written a couple of times as a rookie & was helped by quite a few people. well thats my 2 cents as ireally don`t know what occured. now some may write back mind your own biz. or something to that effect. is that flaming me??? its a ticklish situation at best. mook53lhd

Anna LyzeThis: yes I completely agree! I hope and would love for all new pawns to feel welcome! Its a great site! :o)

playBunny: Thank you.
This is the meaning used on other game sites, I have been to. I wonder if others knew the meaning?
So far,with the exception of just a few, everyone seems to get along famously,and are quite eager to help.
That mixed with an outstanding mix of game selections,makes me want to become a member.

Kipling: yes it SHOULD apply to everyone!

Kipling: It can be seen in two ways. Applying a flame to someone, by directly insulting them or by making a seemingly innocent remark which will provoke them. Another meaning is as a shorthand for inflaming - whereby an already heated situation is prolonged, renewed or heightened by an inflammatory post. Flaming of this nature may not be intended, for example, poor moderator action can do more harm than good, and supporting a friend publicly rather than sending a private message can add fuel to a fire which should be left to fizzle out.

BerniceC: Do those rules apply to everyone?

same thing :).....flaming of players isnt allowed = don't talk nasty to any of them hehehe
you will get banned on that board very quickly as a few can attest to :)

BerniceC: Thank you,but I was acually referring to that particular discussion boards rules.

Kipling: if you are talking nasty about a country/person etc in the discussion boards people can take that as flaming, and on some boards it is a NO NO.

Are you referring to comments on the General chat board? if so that is what they are referring to :)

It works now.

Kipling: This is my meaning of the word "flaming" You can say "flaming" hot, which is another meaning for when something is very hot, or it can also be used as a very mild swearword for example, " I couldnt get into brainking last night, flaming thing " LOL. But i am British so my defintions could be totally stupid LMAO

BIG BAD WOLF: Me too, the only way i could get access, was to go into my e-mail and click on the link that appears in an e-mail that somebody has taken there move.

Hello.
Can someone please explain the meaning of "flaming"?
Thank you.

I had that problem earlier, I just logged out and back in and then it worked fine

I had to do the same...mine was just as BBW described

BIG BAD WOLF: Web TV gets a white screen so I switched to Brainking.com which works ok.

BuilderQ: Me neither. It keeps on loading and re-loading itself over and over when you try to go to http://www.brainking.com

I can't reach www.brainking.com, only brainking.com?

Marfitalu:
No problem with that, but I guess only a very few players... (maybe Fencer) have 74 established BKR.

Grim Reaper: Sure I like math, but the choice of name dates from when I was quite young and because there was a cool symbol with it. Differential mathematics are far from a favourite of mine.

nabla: Do you like math? Is your name chosen because of the nabla operator ?

My website has 100000 times less features and is 100000 times less well done than this one, but I gave the possibility to users to choose whether they wanted each of these infos displayed or not (while warning them about spam, of course).
One thing the users like is that when someone has his/her birth date public and it is his/her birthday, his/her name appears between candles. Just trying to give you ideas for silly feature requests :-)

harley: Of course I say it like it is.

Keep in mind Reza for every place you have your email addy listed online it can be picked up by bots and your inbox will be filled with tons of email yo dont want, such as to buy viagra, cialis, watches and ohh don't forget the kings of very many countries who have millions of dollars they want to put in your bank account to get it out of the country!!! I should be so rich right now!!!!

harley:

Marfitalu: Good idea

Trust Rose to get down to bare bones Crazies and spammers...!!

Thats right reza, theres no choice yet. It could be something Fencer might consider having as an option if enough people want it.

Rose: Hmmm, I see. So there's no choice in case any one does want others to see their personal info?

I personally do!

reza: Because it is personal info. Sorry I thought you had asked why it was visable. I didn't see that you had written INvisable. Most folks dont want ppl to know their email addy, or birthdate, too much info for crazies and spammers!

reza: Privacy. Most people don't want that information available for everyone to see.

that's what I was asking! Why aren't they visible to other players?

reza: they arent.. if you see an asterik * it means thats only visable to you and fencer

Why are my date of birth, address and e-mail address invisible to other players?

Grim Reaper: problems in Matrix:)

wellywales: The server checks every 5 minutes and the browser refreshes every few minutes depending on the user settings. If this is every 5 minutes then it's possible for the browser to refresh just before the server has updated and gets the friend still showing as online. Then, five minutes after the server has updated, the browser refreshes and catches the true state. Hence 10 minutes.

wellywales: 5 minutes.

wellywales: If a person does not actually "logout", the system has no one to really know if a person is gone or not - so if a person is not active within a certain time (possible 10 minutes), then at that time they are taken off the on-line list.

Fencer, when you go offline, it still shows on your friends 'Friends online', for upto 10 minutes later, why is this?
