MadMonkey: Would be good to let the big boss chose what powers the mini-boss and other membership levels have. Would be nice if I could set it so all members could invite people into the fellowship unless I had banned that member.

Fencer: Some months ago there was a discussion about having the option to have a Mini-Boss in a Fellowship, that would have all the power of the BigBoss except being able to delete it. Is this still going to go ahead when you have time

alanback: Maybe two dropdown lists of your normal option so you can set one to move to next game of this type. And the other to move and stay here or any other 2 combinations that you do all the time.

pauloaguia:  No, I see now it apparently can't be done.  I was working from memory (having no waiting games) so I couldn't check the screen before posting.  Looks like you can only change the default setting for one of the two boxes, the other by default will always be set for "next game".  I don't find it burdensome to pick a game off the drop-down list, but then I almost always just play them in the order they come up.

However, the left hand menu always includes a link to the Main Page, so I don't see the problem even now.

alanback: Could you please explain how?

unikum:  Aren't there two buttons  (Unless you have no more waiting games)?  You can set one to stay and one to go to the main page, by default.

I would like to have two buttons. One stay here and one go to maín page when i do my move. Its a bit annoying to change what i want in the scroll list. When i play dark chess or battleboat i want to stay. When i play normal chess or ludo i want to go to main page.

While we're at it, add ongoing games alongside wins, draws, losses on that table (yes I know it's called the "Finished games" table)

alanback: It would be nice to sort the played games table by its columns. That would provide what you requested and other information too

It would be nice to see a list of a player's top BKRs when viewing his or her profile page.

It would be useful to be able to save your favorite settings for game invitations.  For example, I usually invite people to play backgammon matches with the doubling cube, and a time limit of 3 days with standard vacations.  It would be nice to be able to make a string of invitations without having to change those settings.  Alternatively, the system could save the last settings used.

I would like to see a column on the main page for how much time I have left while it is my opponent's turn. This would be really helpful in a game timed with a Fischer clock or a game without vacations allowed.

I think just to the right of the "Time Left" column would be a good place for it. It could be headed with "Your Time Left" or something similar. For the standard move time limit, the column would just have the time per move in it. The colored dots would would still be there to help you know what's going on without having to visit each game to check. This would be really helpful for planning on leaving for the weekend or a business trip.

I'll have to agree, this is the wrong place to be discussing flaming, baiting and or moderating issues. I'm not sure if a pawn can hide another user on a public board ( I was only a pawn for the first day i was on bk)

Jason: Agreed he should, but also it is hardly a Feature reaquets what ever is up with the posts.

MadMonkey: maybe you are right .he needs to clarify his post .

Jason: The way Gentlegiant101 message reads is that he would like users blocked on a board, after he got flaming aimed at him. Nothing about his posts being moderated.....maybe i am reading it wrong, but thats what it says.

MadMonkey: pawns that are in fellowships was once a paying member , its upto the big boss if they remain in the fellowship after they become a pawn (the pawn cannot see anything unless they pay for membership again)

As for Gentlegiant101 he was moderated thats what he is complaining about ;)

Jason: Cant you? Why are pawns allowed in Fellowships anyway?

So if it is a public board that this happened on, why was it not moderated then ?

MadMonkey: once you return to a pawn , you can no longer see inside the fellowships .

pauloaguia: Unless you are a Pawn, that used to be a Knight or Rook AND are still in a Fellowship, there are loads of them.

MadMonkey: pawns only have access to public boards, so it would have to be ;)

Gentlegiant101: If it is a legitimate reason, a Moderator can block anyone from posting to a board.
I would not imagine this was a public board was it ?

Gentlegiant101: Paying members have the hability to Hide users from Discussion Boards (if A hides B, A will no longer see any message posted by B on that board).
I don't think any such facility is available to pawns, though.

Would it be possible to extend the "Block users" feature to the discussion boards? I was a victim of "flaming" by means of a person intentionally taking a post of mine out of context and deforming it's real intent. I felt as if I was treated with a great amount of disrespect by this person which I don't want to have to experience in the future if I was to discuss on YOUR boards. This IS a possible thing to achieve as it was done on another game site with "discussion boards".
Thanks for your consideration on this issue. because as was stated on the other site "there are all kinds of weirdos on the net....some of whom will join these sites with ulterior motives!"

Would it be possible to have access to the Context menu items through a drop menu like the games in the top left corner, so we could access it from any page ?

This way we could still have cut/paste enabled on our mouse.

King Reza: id love something like that to, esp. when signing up for new tournaments

Why, players can rach a frightingly BKR of approximate 2800 at the game of MiniShogi and the first BKR's at the games of Ataxx and Assimilation weren't that high?

Pason69: On the Finished Games page on the profile, the last column is the number of torunaments won.

I'd like to see the number of a person's started games on their profile so that I won't have to wait for a long long long list to load so that I can see the totall number, in case the person is running more than 2,000 games.

When I look at the profile for a player, and check tournaments won, I get a list of all the tournament that person won. However, if I want to see what games, I have to choose "Show chess" or similar. Is there any way to get a summary like 5 chess tournaments won, 2 Backgammon, 3 Battleboat etc?!

If not, it would be great if it was possible!

Thanks for reading!

Mr. Shumway: I already asked Fencer for a Monkey one, he told me to find one, so i found lots LOL, i dont know what they have to be like so they can work on brainking though.

Amandakmg365, MadMonkey: Who might that other player be?

Hello: Fencer. Could you please try to add a smiley that is throwing a pie? OH and another player asked me to ask if you could add a monkey smiley? Thank you.

joshi tm: Hmmmmmm good question, i presume Fencer has not got round to adding them to his Stairs yet.

MadMonkey: hope you arnt going to remove the ludo stairs..lol

MadMonkey: By the way, where are the MiniShogi and Ataxx stairs?

In Stairs, there is an option for adding a Game to a list of Stairs, could we have one to remove a Game please Fencer.

nightmagic:  I couldn't agree with you more, even if I knew what the heck you are saying.

OFF TOPIC's

any thing anyone feels like sharing as players have friends here and look to them for a speak back, not OFF TOPIC some as they have friends here and may not know what board to exackly put what where, can say what's needed without being directed to 3 sometimes 4 boards to reach the one's they play with to say there say.

MadMonkey: I don't really miss a time-per-move column because most of my games are Fischer-clock.

mctrivia: Maybe when 'another' board is added to a Fellowship, it should automatically create a link on the Fellowship main DB, maybe at the top just under the Fellowship name. Then a red number could show up if a message was added to the main board or one of the linked boards.

I would like a number to show up(in a different color then red) beside the names of my fellowship to tell me if some one wrote a message in one of the other boards. I know I can add the boards to my favorite list but this doesn't work if I don't notice a new board was created.

BIG BAD WOLF: It fixed itself upon restarting the browser. Not sure why... sorry for the false alarm, but this was the only site exhibiting the issue.

grenv: Everything looks the same for me for the fonts. If it is smaller or larger, try either holding down CTRL key on keyboard while you move your mouse wheel - or go to VIEW in the browser, and change the text/font size.

Did you do something to the fonts? If so can you undo it?

MadMonkey: Two columns. One with opponent's time left and the other with your time left when opponent moves. This would be very handy for Fischer clock timed games.

Lawless: Sounds like another column that shows 'Game Time per move' would be in order to me, then you could sort by that as well. Not a bad idea at all.

Currently, the list of games where it's not my turn, indicates how much time the opponent has to make his move.
I would, however, prefer if it indicated how much time I would have if the opponent would make his move now.

The reason behind my proposal is that when I log out, I would like to know when do I have to log in again in order not to timeout. In games where it's my turn, it's easy to see the minimal time left. However in games where it's the opponent's turn, there is not much use in knowing that the opponent has 10 days left if I have only 10 hours left and the opponent might make his move the moment after I have logged out. The only way to be on the safe side is by clicking through all the games where it's not my turn and that is unreasonably inconvenient.

How about option of selecting favourite games or known invitations... I would like to have # of invitations and #of invitations in games that interests me
