FrancescoLR: Furthermore, if you try to check out Host Tracker test, as it is clearly described at the top of this board, you would know that the current average response time is less than 1 second. It proves that BrainKing is not slow, globally said. We cannot be responsible for local network problems.

Fencer: That's pretty cool tool! You can even get email reports on site availability.

I know people like Firefox but it runs slow for me (not sure why as I've reformatted) but Chrome is fast. Very fast. So one thing that seems to give me problems (not just on BK) is when I use Firefox. Chrome isn't 100% compatible for use here but it's still very fast for my needs.

Just out of curiosity, what is not 100% compatible, regarding Chrome and BrainKing?

Fencer: I haven't experienced any problems with Chrome here, personally. I use that now instead of FireFox, as I was sick of FIrefox using up so many "resources".

rod03801 & Artful Dodger : If you used Mozilla's PRISM you wont get faster, as it runs websites as applications rather than inside a browser

You can get it as a Firefox Add-on or a stand alone application

Subject: Re: brainking is slow !!!

MadMonkey: Yeah, I used it for a while. It didn't seem significantly faster (I never had complaints about speed, personally), and I missed the things I used FireFox for.

Chrome is keeping me perfectly happy.

but why has my opponent got 22 days to move on this game
when the game time is 5 days 5 hours per move

Come on England: I thought this person had ran out of vacation days.....I see 9 days remaining. Yes, I'm missing it too.

Subject: Re: am i missing something here

alilsassy: those 9 days were there about a week ago...I looked when someone was happy about the fact they had timed out on some games, and I was confused then.

25. June 2010, 08:29:10

Subject: Re: am i missing something here

alilsassy: no she never used any vacation days because she never used auto matic vacation
so she would have nine days left

that wasnt my question
i would like to know how a 5day 5 hour time out game can be put at 22 days before time out
unless im missing something obvious im LOST!!!!!!

SL-Mark

Subject: Re: am i missing something here

Come on England: Pawns are not abe to use auto vacation. Instead the vacation days are set manually under settings. When these vacation days are selected, it will reduce the number of available vacation days and naturally increase the time before time out occurs.

Of course, selecting vacation days and then later cancelling them, seems to be a ploy to irritate and confuse some that might be watching ;)

25. June 2010, 08:54:10

Subject: Re: am i missing something here

SL-Mark: yes but she was a rook until 6 days ago

but still confused has to why one game in a tournament should go to 22 days when all the others are set at normal

rabbitoid

Subject: Re: am i missing something here

Come on England: That must be it. She hasn't been on since April. she must have set the vacation days before leaving as a last act of kindness because she figured you were overworked and need extra thinking time. Then when she reverted to pawn she enters a new category and gets 10 fresh days. Of course, unless she logs in she shouldn't be able to set those days.

Subject: Numbers under waiting games

Hi, I am curious about the waiting games listings. Under some of the waiting games there are numbers in parentheses. For example (3x) or (9x). I could not find any mention of these numbers in the FAQ, etc. What do they mean? Do they mean that the person who posted the game offer is offering to play that number of separate games of that type? Like if it says "Backgammon / (3x)" then that means the person wants to play 3 separate matches of backgammon?

stargood: When you set up a new game for the waiting list you have the option of how many of that particular game you want to put on the waiting list max of 9 nat a time for anyone game.
