Subject: Re: Re:
Radiant 36 9: Happens now and then that everything is slow here because of the provider or that 3 people are downloading at the same time ;) but yesterday evening (wed) ET all sites (those i checked) worked as usual, only BK was slow. I doubt that my provider has anything against BK :)

Subject: Re:
Summertop: Webtv has zero to do with computers and today has been mega sluggish. Every other site I tried is quick but I don't think it's Fencers problem or there is anything he can do about it.

When I have a sluggish network (bandwidth is full on my end). all of the sites I try work, slowly. However, BK doesn't work. I get placeholders for ALL of the images. Luckily, I havent't had that issue for a couple of weeks.

So...True, the network speed is not BK's fault. However, BK handles it poorly. With that in mind, I would rather Fencer's resource be put into finishing or creating new games as opposed to the difficult, time consuming task of trouble shooting bandwidth problems.

and I too noticed that other sites were sailing through just fine and dandy..

"every site but BK" is a pure nonsense.

Subject: Re: Re:
harley: But if every site but BK are working fine using all possible browsers. Why cant we then tell Fencer? If he isnt aware of his problems how can he then improve his site? Swiping the problems under the carpet doesnt make him or us happier.

Subject: Re: Re:
Andersp: Nope, more like "Fencer has checked and there is no site problem - not everyone is having these problems - therefore its logical that its network rather than site problems." Hows that? You know Fencer goes above and beyond to sort out problems when he can. But in this case, he can't.

10. February 2005, 17:19:05

OK,OK...I figured it out. Since Fencer prefers FireFox as a browser, He programed BK to periodically "Slow down" if you use IE.

Just kidding, Fencer

Its just that if you fill the board with complaints, other topics will get buried, and there really isn't anything Fencer can do about the performance of peoples PC's.
Mine is working fine, as are other peoples, and there are no problems showing with the site, so theres not much can be done.

10. February 2005, 17:02:32

well..if all other sites open fast and this doesnt..what then?

Andersp: Because it's illogical. If there is a problem on our side, we would already know about it. Otherwise we cannot do anything.

I say it is working correctly. We cannot be responsible for network problems.

well it is a graphic problem I am having also otherwise the site has always ran good, I am not criticising the site pauloguia, I wouldnt pay to be in it if I thought it had major problems

10. February 2005, 16:57:22
Andersp 
been very slow here too..so why cant we complain?

10. February 2005, 16:55:55
Summertop 
Sometimes I have a problem where NONE of the graphics come up. But BK's performance is always good for me. I think the graphics problem is due to bandwidth at my office. At home, I never have graphics or speed issues.

oldhamgirl: not all... many people already said that they don't experience any problem... I have no problems accessing the site. There can't be a problem if many of us don't experience it

but its not working correctly and all our computers cannot have a problem

There is no point to complain or report. Everything works correctly.

of course you can write english on the czech boards .. just as i can write dutch on the english boards .. but being polite (as little people on here can read it and might wonder if i am writing something evil) i dont do so.

the same might apply to the czech boards .. some people on there cant read english (or not that fluently) and might wonder whats being written

i think that falls under 'netiquette' ?

Czuch Chuckers: Have you ever tried to create a tournament? The system is the same. The purpose of two boxes is to specify a text to appear according to a language in which you can see BrainKing. Not everyone speaks English and when I define a tournament or pond, I always specify names in both languages.

Subject: Re: Fencer
Fencer: Sorry!
I am glad I was able to give you a good laugh anyway :)

I guess I am just confused as to when we make a new pond run there are boxes for Czech and for english? What do they do differently? Is it a matter of the alphapet for each language or something? I mean, when I type english in the czech box it comes out the same as if I type it into the english box, doesnt it? What is the difference, and the purpose for two different options?

Thanks!

Czuch Chuckers: I've yet to see a working Czech/English translator. Have you ever taken some Czech text someone has put in one of your games to one of the sites that claims to translate. More often than not it tells me 'it's untranslatable' or if it does translate it it makes no sence. And if you plug in an English word you can get back a half dozen Czech words all different with no idea which one is wanted. I'm not sure how people manage but my hats off to all of the multi linguel people on BK. It's all I can do to manage English
