Ewe: which is why you must send me the names of the people you want to interview. So I can pick one.
I'll collect nominations until the end of this month. When I announce the "winner" in October you can send your questions then.

Ewe: But this is for later. For now start sending me your sugestions for the next vict... person to be interviewed
The part about the questions was a reply to coan's post. But that's for later, for now I'm accepting nominations. You can send more than one name if you wish, just try to send them all at once.

pauloaguia: LOL Oh ok sorry, its been a loooooooonnnng day! Yes I understand now

is asking why people can't find the USA on a map acceptable?

Vikings: Perfectly.. From what I understand some people in the US don't have maps...



* That poor beauty contestant wont ever live that one down.

Rose: she deserves it, it is obvious that she had practiced being pc instead of honest

pauloaguia:

Well since I was the last person who was interviewed...... I will start off the new trend by nominating who i would like to know more about, and make the next interviewee


drum roll please........




VIKINGS!!!!!!



YEAH!!!!!!

Czuch Czuckers: I've wondered about this for awhile.You seemed to be much more active on the boards pre-interview.Coincidance,or does it cause one to retreat?

Jim Dandy: Let me clarify (since a certain player seems concerned via pms of my posts intentions)I've always enjoyed your contributions to varios forums.If interviews cause interesting posters to back off that's not a good thing,I can understand how it can be disarming,maybe I just don't notice your posts these days

redfrog: were doomed

Tuesday:

Czuch Czuckers: No fair, I wanted to do the drum roll
I had forgotten the new rule about the last interviewee picking up the next in line. But since some other people had voted for Vikings as well, I went along and asked him if he accepts the challenge. Since he said yes, the question period is now open. The votes from other people will be accounted for in special occasions, I'll tell more about it when the time is right. In the meantime if anybody wants to nominate someone else to be interviewed, you can still do it, weather or not a selection process is in course.

So, as of now, send me your questions for Vikings . Ask anything. He says the site won't be the same after his interview, and that we're all doomed, so it's up to you to prove him right/wrong . If there are questions you feel you can ask anybody, tell me about it so you don't need to send them for every interview. If there is any question where you want to remain anonymous say it as well.
The clock is ticking and on the 14th October I'll create the questionaire to send to Vikings. So start writing

I really like that you have set a date. Much better than being in the dark on when to stop sending questions and when the interviewee will receive them.. very good idea!

Tuesday: I'm planning to have regular interviews and then some others at special situations. Some will be chosen by the previous interviewee and some by everybody. And on occasion I may just pick one at random.
I still haven't set it all in my mind yet, I'm just playing some things as I go along. I already have loads of ideas and I plan to have some surprises now and then

Bottom line is - if you think somebody could be a good candidate just drop me a line - all votes will count for something, either now or 5 months from now or 3 years, who knows. I have nothing against pawns unless someone tells me they can't be interviewed...
hint - first one who gets 100 votes will get an instant interview, no matter if another one is already running or not

pauloaguia: You might want to change that to "if someone gets votes from 100 different people..."

redfrog: especially considering you sent them to the wrong person - I didn't get any sugestions from you

redfrog:

Is it just me or is there problems with the site today/yesterday ,its been really bad for me ;(

Jason: I got here about 10.00am our time, and it was useless for about 2 hours.
I made 10 times as many moves on BugCafe as i did on here, which is crazy as i only have about 20 games there,
Rest of the day is has not been too bad here until about an hour ago.
Now i just keep getting

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Its just done it again in another BrainKing Tab while i typed this.

It only appears to be here though, all my others i am using are fine

MadMonkey: Thanks , at least now i know i am not the only one having probs .

Me too, me too

MadMonkey: I had many problems this morning before work (around 6:30AM Eastern US) but I visited the site a few times through the day during breaks at work and had no problems, and haven't had any problems all evening.

Now that I am a pawn, what can i do about all the ads that bleed into my game boards etc???

Family Man: Renew your membership?

LOL

Well, your other choice would be to use AdBLock Plus, if you use Firefox.

rod03801: I have ad block plus and the casino ads are still here bleeding onto my game boards and pages?

Even if I have to view ads they should not bleed onto my pages, something else must be wrong, any ideas?

Family Man: If the add is interfering with the rest of the page maybe that's a bug or simply an add that Fencer failed to check properly. Check to see how it shows up on other browsers and if turning on/off any addblocker does any difference.
Then PM Fencer about your conclusions - I'm sure he never intended for an add to interfere with the site... pawn or no pawn...

Its a casino ad, and it looks and acts normal on my main page, but all other pages it gets all jumbled and spreads out and covers my game boards etc, I do have ad block as well, shouldn't that take care of it? I will try IE to see if it is the same.

LOL, I dont even have IE anymore, or any other browsers... hmmm, now what?

Family Man: Easy enough to download IE by going to their website.

MadMonkey: lol i have that problem on a daily basis

Is there a way for me to remove my picture?

Czuch Czuckers: In your profile there is a drop down list to deactivate your icon ect .

Jason: Thanks, that was too easy, I just didnt see it before!

I can still see myself, am i the only one, or does it take some time?

Czuch Czuckers: I think the next update irt will go (every hour or so ,maybe)

Czuch Czuckers: Plus make sure you picked the right option.

ICON = the little picture next to your name

PICTURE = this is the "bigger" picture that is in your profile if they click on the icon.

coan.net: Thanks! thats better now!

I am having issues with the context menu.

I have it at the top right of my pages, but when I curse over it, it only shows one of the items and doesnt allow me to even click it?

Czuch Czuckers: I have it there as well, but mine is ok at the moment

Sometimes the Menu pops up when i hover over show, but it is about 1cm below and to the right, so when i mover the cursor across to click on something from it, it goes before i can get to it

MadMonkey: Well I am trying to establish this for the first time, so maybe i am not doing it correctly?

i really want my stairs page on there and I copied the page into the box, but maybe that is not the correct way to do it?

Also only the top one on my list shows up when I hover over the show link?

Czuch Czuckers: The best way to add a link to it, is to goto the page you want to add, then use the 'Add' link beside the Show one. That saves any mistake when trying to add it yourself to the Context Menu list.

I have about 15 on mine, as i find it the easiest way to jump about the site, with out using the left hand column (dont use that in games as th e page loads faster).

Are you certain you have more than one thing in your list ?
Have you got the box ticked on your JavaScript page in Settings, to show the menu there ?
Thats all i can think of offhand

MadMonkey: okay I went and ticked every box at the top of the java settings page, and now it works fine. But I am not sure which one did the trick?

Now when I hover over a discussion board it shows me the latest post, and I dont like that one!

I guess I will just have to experiment to find which option does what!

Thanks for the help!

is anyone having problems with this
mine refuses to work

"Snoopy":  With what?

alanback:
i switch to rich text editing and then it dosnt allow me to use it

"Snoopy": No mine works ok.
