nobleheart: This is a good one too:

http://www.freetranslation.com/

nobleheart: You're an iso browser, too, eh? Lol.
Thanks for the meta translation page, I've not seen that one.

playBunny: this is good too:
http://dictionary.langenberg.com/
so are the other pages there

playBunny: hmm wouldnt it be nice to have a board dedicated to translations and languages in general .. the language of the board itself would be in english i guess though

your list in dutch :

• Hoi
  
• Hallo
  
• Gegroet
  
• Hoest (or better 'hoe is het ermee')
  

• Veel geluk
  
• Dat was een interessant spel
  
• Aaaggghh!
  
• Neeeeeeeeee!
  
• Phew!
  
• Dat was gelukkig
  
• Dobbelsteen Goden
  
• Ik heb een 6 nodig, geef me een 6!
  
• Race ja!
  
• De race is gestart
  
• Bedankt
  
• Dank u voor de wedstrijd
  
• Wilt u er nog een spelen?
  
• Nog een?
  

Hrqls: Aye indeed. I put a request in a while back for an English board after some interest was generated in English usage and grammar. Widening it to other languages and requests for translations, or anything else that will encourage international communication - makes good sense to me. :-))

And for the list: Veel danken :-DD

playBunny: :) for some reason in dutch it is 'veel dank' although 'danken' would be more logical as 'veel' is plural :)

graag gedaan :)

Is it possible, now that we have started the new "decade" :) of languages, to convert the links into a nice drop-down list?

WhiteTower: Do you mean the array of flags? Someone mentioned earlier this month that they could be moved to the settings page. Fencer vetoed the idea; he likes them. I reckon they look like medals of honour and he's rightly proud to wear them on his "chest", lol.

playBunny: yea,I'm a redhat linux baby..was brought up on it when I worked in montreal

more people on the stats page (Top 50 players (average established BKR, 11 or more game types)and (Top 50 players (sum of established BKRs).) instead of 50 could we see 75 or even 100 people

Could it be an option to see the countries in alphabetic order too?

Jason: I'll second that. A top 100 would be great.

Bry: Or if not a top 100, keep the top 50, but also say "You are in place XXX with a BKR of XXX" - or something so if we are not on a list, we know how far behind we are.

BIG BAD WOLF: but that doesnt help me if i wanted to see what position someone was in who wasnt in the top 50

Marfitalu: would be more easier to look at 100 all in one page i would have thought

Jason: What if the person you were looking for wasn't in the top 100? or even the top 1000? ;)

pauloaguia: then i wouldnt see them lol , but i would see 50 more players than we have now with the current 50

why would you want to know ?

you can easily have a rough estimation of the average established bkr by looking at his list of bkrs .. you can even more easily have his win/loss ratio by looking at his profile

what statistics do you want to know ?

i can understand you want to know your own position .. i am always interested in that .. but i dont have to know the exact position in the statistics of anyone else ... or that someone must be very close to me :)

hmm .. ok i see one point now (thinking while typing ;)) .. suppose you are at position 200 in the average bkr rankings .. then you might want to challenge the one who is at the 199th position for a game and thereby try to advance 1 spot in the rankings

pauloaguia: I think it is simple. There can be a search engine to which you enter an ID and you get the rankings!

If that's easy to program of course.

reza: but also a list of people within 10 rankings of you would nice :) to know the competition :)

Hrqls: Yes!

Andersp: i guess its not possible

Andersp: it would probably requires some recoding as i understand now a lot is linked to the direct number in the list ... where different languages would sort the list differently

the numbers should be fixed and the lists could be ordered easily .. which of course is possible .. but which is not how it is right now (i think i read somewhere)

Hrqls: Yes..i think you are right, no big deal ..it will be easier to find Sweden when we have most members

Andersp: lol .. true .. but i guess you need to lower the price of liquor to achieve that ;)

Because there are some obscurities in handling timeouts it would be better when next to the move in the move columns the date/time of doing the move is printed and how long it takes.

If you play someone with a 1900 BKR but by the time the game ends his BKR is up to 2400+ which rating will effect your own BKR when the game ends?

Purple: I believe its the rating that the game ends with, so the answer would be 2400+

chessmec: the date/time is only inside of the gamepage itself thusfar.
it's possible though to document those obscurities by saving Jelly's profile
(registercard 'started games) as webpage or, in the convenient mozilla archiv format ... ~*~

harley: So then as long as he is improving stall the game?

Purple: Uh, well... no!! You'll have me shot! And if you stall a game for ratings they might still lose to a very low rated player!

harley: I knew this dude in an organization I was once in who made a scientific study of this kind of thing but he, the organization and my memory are all gone. LOL

to respect the topic - just a tidbit - thank you
you will find your needs matched on chatboards ... ~*~

danoschek: Very true..and thanks. :)

Purple: just for you own good - you know
- the globs have banned people for much less already ... ... ~*~

thank you for applying for my board-hidelist, *plop* (on block you've been since longj)
could we please have a global hide-option for d-boards ? I'm a bit tired of the pertinent
troublemakers & waiting 4 a 1st inevitable provocation on each board to get a hidelink ... ~*~

LOLOL

danoschek: yawn

danoschek: Hilarious pic on that link. LOL.

danoschek: hehehe....what a brave little soul that rabbit was/is LOL

Brave? May be hungry. Nice feature request indeed.

danoschek: Cute picture made me laugh.

i suggest taht you put the amount of a particular players pond wins (tourney wins) next to the ratings. Just to make it more readily available. This could be used for all games as well.

fungame: Carnivorous rabbit?!? AS IF!

yeah AS IF we all could get along and leave the past behind
gittoutofit *plop* - . viceversa from hide to block is an option as well
I recommend using the great bk features flexibly (see also bg-db) ... ~*~

danoschek: lol

I noticed that today is a holiday. Suppose because in the USA is today such a holiday. In terms of equity it should be possible to give each nationality each own holiday.
Or are there another reasons for the holday today ?

I think the reason is that if all countries that are listed here had public holidays then there would be too many public holidays

Jason: therefore i am asking why today (and tomorrow) is a holiday. I found no explanation, excapt that in the USA is holiday today ...

chessmec: yes i see there are 3 public holiday days now (which explains some of my time limits) . maybe fencer is taking a few days away too ,thats the only thing i can come up with .
