I thought I couldn't move in my game but forgot to hit the "submit move" button. It is so way at the bottom that it is hard to remember you have to push it...one noob move one right after another...

Marfitalu: Thank you for your help. Actually, I did read the FAQ and Help section, the FAQ didn't help what I needed and when I tried to find what I needed in the help section, the page was blank ;__;

bouncybouncy: Try a "disk cleanup" and then a "defragmentation"...that might help things to run smoother/quicker...we do ours at home like once a week (along with scanning for viruses)

GT Koopa: It can happen if someone else accepts the same invitation faster than you.
But as I can see, you are already playing two games, so the problem is probably solved.

Subject: Re: speed

beach: mine is mainly ludo, but sometimes it is the whole site, my pc is full of cookies as well, which i think are from all the ad banners i have been clicking on too, i presume this would slow my pc down.

Subject: Re:

imsoaddicted: Firefox is the same now too ggrrrr. A couple of other people have commented in my fellowship that the site is running slow as well. I thought it might have been my end, so i checked to see if i had anything running in the back ground but i havent, so not, sure what it is. I will perservere with it for now and just hope it corrects itself.

BuilderQ

Subject: Re: ludo

snowhugs: In ludo, you roll one die per turn, right? In this case, the chance of not rolling a six each turn is 5/6, and the chance of not rolling a six for n turns is (5/6)^n. The chance of any 32 rolls not including a six is, therefore, (5/6)^32, which equals about 0.3%. So, such should happen sometimes. :)
