Subject: Re: Moving on games?

beach: I'm sure that fencer is working on it; it is in my opinion the worst of the new bugs. Aside from being obnoxious, it means that some opponents won't be moving very often in those "7 day" games that you were talking about.

I won't be accepting anything but short time limits until this is fixed for that very reason. That includes both private games and tournaments.

There is nothing to worry about - everything is working OK

Subject: Less than 100 games in a list

Yes, I have overlooked this one, mostly because I don't use that feature so I forgot we had it here.

It will be easily fixed.

well.....so far so good for me.
one question though(for fear of being called lazy cause I dont read the blahblogs) ...is there a setting for the number of your turn games? seems I have to scroll through pages now,and it also affects my go to drop box.

alexlee: I would like to the see the move to main page working again, I like to be able to see the list not just automatically go to the next game, hopefully that function comes back when fencer is finished now I keep getting the same game on top and I play games with different time limits so I don't want to automatically go to the time with the least amount of time and never get to play the 7 day games until they reach the top

rod03801: I hope so, it's just that on the last line of the blog it says "I hope I listed all important things here. If not, please leave a comment.", so that's what I'm doing

Subject: Re: Blog entry

El Cid: You must log in to the blog site to leave a comment.
Plus, be sure you log in to the right place. The "self registration" area fools some people into thinking that's where you log in. It's actually way below that, under the past comments.

Perhaps a side effect of the change, is that you temporarily can't change the listing to LESS than the 100 max.

Subject: Blog entry

I tried to leave a comment in the blog, but maybe I'm doing something wrong, so here it is
"I don't know if it's me, but I have the "show games on main page" set to 5, however, it shows all of my games. This, however, does not happen with the ponds"

Subject: Re:

Doris: Thank you. That's exactly what I meant. It is likely that people find out that some functions don't work properly but the most important functionality (play games) is not affected by any changes. It would be too risky to make too many changes as a one big update, and bugs are always around. Good news is that I am aware of most of them and it should not take too much time to fix them.

I read the blog first thing when I logged in. I expected to see some problems...but as of yet, I have not encountered any in my regular game playing. I think Fencer is doing a wonderful job on keeping this site in good shape and I thank him for all his hard work in doing so. I am sorry that some people are having problems but please be patient and don't be too quick to criticize.

Subject: Re:

crosseyed: If it is boring, than no other response would be useful to you. The purpose of blog posts is to summarize all important information at one place, so smart people could easily find everything there, while lazy people just keep asking one by one.
If you call it "too much crap", you can hardly expect any further help from me.

Fencer: You know the old saying ? If it ain't broken don't fix it. Why do you keep making changes? I can't see if my friends have made their moves anymore. None of the commands work either. Are these temporary faults?

Subject: Moving on games?

After playing on a game neither the option of going to main page or picking a game from the drop down list works? No matter which I choose the first game on my game list is what I get?

Yes I have lost many games because I have a limited time to make moves so if Brainking doesn't load or takes forever to load when I am able to make moves then I lose (uaually the games I least want to lose).

It works for any other sites too and now it shows "Connection refused" error from all worldwide nodes. It means that pente.org is down and everyone has the same issue.

ellieoop: I was inaccurate, though. At the very top of the page that you go to from "Photo Albums" (from the link on the left), would be your own albums, if you had any. THEN under that are the latest albums from other users.

ellieoop: If you clicked from the side menu (left), yes indeed you see most recent albums of other people, and most recent comments. To see your OWN album, you need to do it through your own profile.
