Subject: Half The Time

I'm getting a "denied access by publisher of page." Hope this is a temporary glitch not exclusive to me.

Fencer: Without getting into an old conversation, we are trying to be positive (well i am lol)

The site has been great for ages now, BUT since about the time of the Archive, i have a dramatic slowdown in brainking response time.
All other sites, well, the other 7 open in Tabs at present load pages between 1.07 and 3.61 seconds.
Brainking varies wildly though, i can get a games page load in from 1.7 secs which is great, however, any other pages seem to take anywhere from 4 to 20 secs

Just an annoying observation, what has started this again

Jim Dandy: Yes, i was not going to mention it, but the last few days, in fact since the Data Archiving it has been real bad at times.

I would of thought that would make it faster, like cleaning & defragging

Nirvana: Yes you can hide someone in a fellowship from others , BB and moderators will still see them though .........but woulsnt it be easier to remove them from the fellowship

6. January 2008, 12:10:44

Subject: Re:

Nirvana: This was discussed a while ago and i think Fencers answer was something along these lines.
If you are the Big Boss of a Fellowship, you only have people in there that you choose, and hopefully get on with, and that follow the rules you set down.
You have the power to remove anyone, who does not abide by your rules.

This i would normally agree with, but with one exception, when you have been left in charge of someones Fellowship for a reason of absence. Here it might be nice to have 'suspend a person' option where all there Fellowship privileges are halted (no read/write boards, joining Tournaments & Teams etc....).

Subject: Re:

Andersp: Blocking someone stops them from sending you private messages, from being able to invite you to a game or fellowship, stops you from being able to see their game messages.

Hiding them on a discussion board keeps you from seeing their posts on that board. The red numbers still show up.

Andersp:

Block User - This just blocks the user from sending private messages and seeing what they are doing online. No discussion board messages are hidden.

Hide - is for each board, and will hide the post from that user on that board only.

Bernice: My take on the mod thing (global or the presumed sub human level that I occupied for a brief time) is that it requires unquestioned devotion to the fearless leader,if not,it falls apart like dominos

Subject: What's with the Poker link?

I put up with it for awhile just to humor whatever deal it was you thought was great.. but, now it is getting very annoying.. I am a paid member.. I buy memberships so I don't have to be forced to visit offbrand sites.. I don't care to have a cookie from these sites sitting on my puter because I got used to my Main Page link at the top of the list.. Please either offer a check box to those of us who are not interested in other sites.. or take the link off your site all together..

Thankyou..

Example, look at this Madmonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (6)

The final has just this second started, yet acording to the results a game has already finished, yet click on it and it has not even started

The section results are just loopy.

Is anyone else seeing odd things with Tournamet results tables ?
I was just looking at one, which show a 2 section Tournament.
Section 1 has finished, and the winner coloured yellow YET there are no results in the boxes.
Section 2 is still running, yet every result box has a space for 2 results (which is wrong as it is only a one game match), but the first result shows as unfnished and the second as a draw in EVERY game.
I have tried a couple of Tournaments and go the same basic problem.

I thought it may have been Firefox having a funny moment, so have tried IE and it is the same

would there be any chance of updating the "Global Moderators" list as I believe that a couple have resigned for one reason or another. It makes it easier when you want to talk to one and theyactually are a Global Moderator.....thanks
