When we click on the new Fellowship team tournaments in Fellowships, what exactly is it meant to show The default is set to ALL, but it does not show all when you get there. By process of Elimination, it seems to show the Tournaments we have signed for already. After having a little play, by clicking Show when set to all, it does show all Team Tournaments.
MadMonkey:will look next time I play...maybe I have to set it for that....will look anyway :)
**edit** it takes me to the next "time" game...I like to play my normal games first and leave the tournaments for last........no worries at least for the moment it is slightly improved, but isnt as fast as it used to be....but an improvement never-the-less
Still a little choppy, but no white pages, loading MUCH quicker, and almost two glorious hours without getting the proverbial "boot" My two cents & Night All ...
Subject: Re: lightweight version on the setting page
Bernice: I've still got the "go to" boxes (with my choices still intact), but not the box of my "listed" games , maybe you need to change the settings on that one, maybe?
Subject: Re: lightweight version on the setting page
or2ak.com: im using lightweight, I can see my ponds, but am getting sick of going back to the main page everytime to play the next game....seems like a waste to me
pauloaguia: I am sorry to say that, but I tried yesterday BrainKing from IE7 and FF together, and when BrainKing was offline for some time, like half a minute or so (as you write), after that time IE7 got online much faster then FF ... (I was refreshing the page, and FF still said something like "page unavailable" but I was already playing in IE7 ...) so I prefer IE7 again and again ...
Subject: Re: lightweight version on the setting page
redfrog: I switched 10 minutes ago or so, and it seems to be noticable faster. But it's too early to say for sure that it's the setting. And the data transfer is still a bit "jerky". And I haven't found a missing feature yet.
pauloaguia: I find it odd that it only happens in Brainking and not the other sites I use.
Oh well too late to catch up on my games because this site is so slow at the moment, so I will be wasting another vacation day because it bedtime for me.
crosseyed: timeout doesn't necessarily mean slow. it can mean the site was unavailable at the time. I noticed that sometimes BrainKing goes offline for about a minute (most people have come to associate that with upgrades to the site or posts on BrainKing.info, though Fencer never admited any of that afaik). If you're using IE7 you will most likelly notice a difference between IE and Firefox (in FF's favor), so you should definitelly repeat the test at another time...
Fencer: 6:54am my time now 239 online and this site is slow. I know you know more about computers on your little finger than I do, but I do play some online games such as Ghost Recon,,GRAW Call of Duty and such and it seems the more players we have ,,more more likely we will lag. Yes those aare CD games and this is WWW but its still on a servorI remember a post to where you were putting more ram in your servor. Seems to me it was a couple of months ago. Maybe I am wrong and it was another site. But just maybe you received a bad stick.Thats terminology I use ,,,lol Your servor may not be anything like our home computers, Just a suggestion.
Fencer: How much would you charge to put my favorite team uniform on our beloved dragon Erving? I'm not kidding,it could become a nice new revenue stream
For weeks I have been using the above url to login into Brainking because it would not let me in on Brainking.com. But since yesterday when I try the above url all I get is VILIK.wk.cz and am back to using Brainking.com. Can anybody tell me why? Thanks very much.
jryden: One possible reason for this might be that they live in the same time zone as the servers?
For example, often when I have made what seems like a lot of moves for me, the server switches days right in the middle of it all, which makes my "daily" count seem lower.
Bernice: looks to me like the post is still there... i heard about the problem then - the curse of the white page - but that cleared up after a while right? im guessing this will too....
Antje: Yeah, I've always been amazed at how many move some people can do...so, I've come to recognize many of the names. I haven't seen many of them there recently.
It seems entirely possible there is some artificial limit to the amount of bandwidth the site is allowed to send out of the country. Maybe a major internet pipe from the country has gone down??
Antje: the post was removed (I think) but day before yesterday I posted from March 2003 general moans about the slowness of the site, this was from the BK board of 5 years ago....so tell me....what is new? except it seems there are dozens if not hundreds with the problem now,
jryden: i agree.. I have many many times been on the top of that list, or the top 5 most often. i cant anymore, im lucky to make the first 50 list. its been for a couple of months now at least for me
redfrog: Guess im one of the targets for all posts about negative/rude posts. So in order to not ruining the chances of response for all of you i'll sit back and read your polite posts. No more ruining posts from this "Troll". Im sure you'll be more succesful than i was
