Subject: April Fool's Day joke?

BK went down for a minute or so for maintenance earlier today. Since then I have noticed a couple of anomalies.

First, I signed up for a tournament that was supposed to start "immediately" once the maximum number of players was reached. That was a while ago.

Second, games that a player has passed the deadline for moving are showing times like -2 hours 32 minutes.

This may be a new feature, I don't know, namely when a player is on a weekend day his time continues in the negative until his weekend is over. I actually like it, but I don't know if it is intentional or not, especially since that tournament hasn't started yet.

happyjuggler0: BrainKing is a very complex application and such things happen, occasionally. A simple restart usually helps.

Fencer: Thanks for fixing it.

By the way, does someone have to be a Brain Rook in order to post a video to his profile?

Rod and I tried for a long time yesterday to post a video to my profile, but it didn't work. He could post it to *his* profile though, so the problem wasn't the video itself.

happyjuggler0: Yes, it is possible. I coded it many years ago so I am not quite sure.

Fencer: Am I still able to purchase a one year rook to credit to my husbands account? I hesitate just purchasing it since I don't want my lifetime membie downsized.. We have been struggling with ways to pay for the membership.. Dan has tried but, gets frustrated since his card won't allow paypal.. I haven't had to buy one in a long time so I am not familiar anymore with how to do so.. Thanks..

ScarletRose: What's the problem? The worst thing that could happen is that a year membership would be just stored on your profile page but you can never lose your lifetime subscription.

The easiest way to purchase a membership for another player is to go to their profile page and click "purchase membership for this user" link at the page top.
