Purple: Common Purp. Not hard at all to send cash. Isn't there a webtv-f/s? Soon enough we'll know if you can paypal with it. Letters to the Czech Rep. with money in it should be send regristred (strongly recomanded, appart the possibility that sending money by mail to the czechs isn't allowed maybe, that is why he wouldn't offer it as a payment method), otherwise noone should cry if he tells you: no, no letter arrived. They go through many hands, and a thief checking 3000 letters each day will take 30€ with pleasure. Money with its addicions brings the world to an end, as a matter of fact.
Fencer: Here is a plan. Publish the address where you recieve your mail and we can send cash. The amounts are usually too small to warrant theivery or mail theft. There is about $1.75 postage to mail overseas but that's no big deal. If American dollars are no good anymore then the world is coming to an end. :)
Fencer: I'm sorry F. I have only shopped with large "corporate" companies online so far, so my statement was too broad and ill-informed. My passionate response regarding Paypal stemmed from the very, very frustrating experience I had with them. I claimed that I would never pay for a brainking membership again after that experience. Of course, your charisma and my connection with brainking has since turned that decision around.
emmett: "Every other company does"? That's really funny. Have you ever tried to accept credit cards directly? I have been negotiating with several banks regarding this issue and their policy is very disadvantageous for me, compared to PayPal. That's why we don't support it, at least not now.
Purple: There is an option for transferring the money directly to Fencer's account. I never understood exactly why that option says Czech Republic only... International money transfers are a perfectly valid and easy form of payment and I know of many people that prefer them to the hassle of using PayPal (and sometimes it's cheapper too, especially if within the Euro zone )
"Snoopy": Yes - you will continue. As long as a person is there for the start, even if they are a pawn or even no longer with the fellowship or team - they will continue and finish what was started in the team tournament. (At least I'm pretty sure of that.)
Purple: Because Brainking doesn't accept credit cards, but every other company does. That's why I gave Fencer's blog today a vote of negative one. The last time I tried to use paypal, I put in the wrong address by accident, then they made me wait five weeks before they would accept payment, just to confirm through visa that I was who I said I was.
im still involved in Inverleven we have a great chance going thou to next round if this happens even thou im not in that fellowship anymore would i still be playing on there team
It is stated that there are 5 options. As a webtv user I can't find one. PayPal is no good because it wont support webtv hyperlinks, same with Moneybrokers. The BK Representatives are gone, Credit Cards are no good and there is not even an addy to send cash. Fencer..why is is SO hard to give you money? LOL
tippyc: the xx will show the internal variable names instead of the real text
so the first few lines in the main menu on the left will show : Global_GameHeader Global_MainPageLink (28) Global_NewGameLink Global_WaitingGamesLink (2015)
while the 'send' button to send this message shows 'boards_send' and the button to send this edited message shows 'boards_editthispost'
the translators assign the real text to those keycodes .. the site shows the real text of the selected language to the user .. to make it more readable ;)
alanback: I didnt either. As a matter of fact, I switched to ru, and then xx to see what it would do and it went back to English. I agree with pauloaguia this it is most likely only seen by Translators. Just as there are a few things that I can see as a Global that others cannot.
alanback: It's a tool for translator to know the key for the texts they need to translate. You can emulate it by replacing the language part in the page URL (pt, en or whatever language) with xx
basplund: When you click "Key Mode" your default language is set to xx just like when you click on a flag. Since that setting is stored on the server, the next time you login you'll be in KeyMode. The sure way to get out of it is by clicking on a flag, to change your default language again.
Because of that, whenever I need to go to key mode, I simply type in the xx at the address bar, so it doesn't get saved, since in Simple Mode the flags are invisible.
Does anybody else have the same problem? Every time I'm logging into the site it switches to key mode, and I have to change the xx to se or en, or whatever language code. It's also independent of which browser I'm using. I've cleared the cash and all too.
nodnarbo: It might have to do with 3 of the games have under 4 moves - so may not "count" towards the rating - even though you have a rating. So probable just one of the "loop holes" in the coding. Probable will take a few more games before the graph shows up.
nodnarbo: yes, you can't see a graph before you have a ranking. It's the same reason why your ranking is hidden until after you have at least 5 games. If you could see the chart, then you'd know what it is...
I have a button to click to see my rating graph for Behemoth Chess but there is no graph. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I only have 4 completed games? I thought I'd post here because I wasn't sure if it was a bug or not
This is a general note: Always be careful to open links you don't know. Lawyers, estate agents and all sort of these peeps have programs at disposition to spy each of us.
Anyone had this happen to them? When you go to your dice poker game the green background area indicating what you need to roll is no longer green but is now a white background like the rest of the board. Don't know if there is something that has to be checked to make this feature work or if its a glitch. Any help would be appreciated.
Oceans Apart: If your opponent would be cheating in that way, you'll certainly notice it I am sure Fencer could go ahead an reverse games in which people would have used it - but that would be a lot of work to do, so it might be better to not frankly tell it on BK board.
Oceans Apart: Lets wait until Fencer has a chance to fix it. Most people are OK with it, and will only test it with unrated games and such - but there are a few on this site who will do anything to gain rating points - which some would call cheating, but they would probable say something like "Well the system allowed me to do it so it must be OK" or something like that. So sometimes it takes Fencer a little bit to find the problem and fix it.
