Oceans Apart: I know you are playing with the doubling cube so you might want to check that out.

Fencer: Backgammon (g. vs. Oceans Apart)

Oceans Apart: A game link would be helpful.

Fencer: Well i dont know what, we arent chatting during our games or anything and it says at the bottom of the game " autopass is being used"

Oceans Apart: You are doing something which disables the autopass.

I am playing a game that autopass is being used, but it isnt working, does anybody know why this could be?

Fencer: I'm not captain on any of the teams anymore so did not know. I will have her check that out. Thanks

Fencer: According to the blog, more toys to play with are always fun :)

Pbarb2: It still works. But she might have disabled receiving fellowship messages.

Fencer: One of the Captains mentioned in my fellowship she is not getting the messages to tell us when we have a fellowship tourney to play. I know we are sending out tournies to other fellowships and they sit there for weeks. Has this feature been discontinued? We are having to send reminders to other fellowships to please reply to our tourney requests.

Fencer:
on that subject could you fix the most moves in a day page its all squashed up together
thats with no fronts

Fencer: Yes,I know

PCfromKNM: Wow! You have really spent some time here.

just started it,well havent really cos i aint got any dice??...HELP!!!

alanback: Pardon?

What is that supposed to mean?

http://brainking.com/sk/TopMovers
11331 moves

Tulip: yes I agree, its working find for me now

MadMonkey: i always notice its when our dear boss Fencer is doing stuff that i get booted off and go make a
2 mins later its ok

MadMonkey: No probs here.. It might be ya need to clean your temp files out.

beach: I keep getting some silly error message a bit like the one we get when Fencer is adding his blog or doing something else to the site

no problems in Texas either!

it's fast for me.

beach: I don't experience anything like that. BK runs very good over here.

Is anyone else find this site extremely slow, I can sleep between moves, and its not happening on any other game sites I play on, other then this one, it kind of takes the fun out of playing the games at this speed

thank you so much for making the dice clickable in the dice games

TarantinoFan:  Better check what's in that pipe you're smoking ;-)

BIG BAD WOLF: Problem is I have all that turned off and there are more and more days lately when my games still just crawl down the screen!

BIG BAD WOLF: Thank you !!! That saves a lot of time in loading

Tulip: In settings, on the first main page - you will find these 2 options:

Show menu column on game pages
Show notation column on game pages

Turn them both off.

You won't see the game moves - and you won't see when you have a new message - but I can live with that since it makes the page load faster - without jumping around when it's loading slowly.

BIG BAD WOLF: how do i do that?

Tulip: That is why on my game page, I removed the left & right columns - so the board will no longer "jump around" while the browser loads the page... on days that the site loads slowly.

Fencer: By the way, just the other day I had one of my small tournaments remove a player - and noticed that instead of deleting, it kept it there to wait for someone else to sign up!!!!

YEA!!! Thanks Fencer!

TarantinoFan: yeah,same here & boards jumping about...

@ pages that crawl down the screen!

And it is only this site.

pauloaguia: Right.

"Snoopy": It also used to delete tournaments if, after removing, there wasn't enough people for it to start...
Maybe it was Fencer's way to fix this bug, and that's a side effect.
(just wondering...)

alanback:
well actually i didnt because the tournament
should of started anyway as there was still 26 players in it and i already know it started 1 hour later
im just trying to find out why its happening like this now
before when ppl were removed from tournaments the tournament still started on time im just wondering why there is now a 1 hour delay

"Snoopy":   Sounds like you answered your own question.

whats happening with tournaments these days
this tournament
new game mancala
was suppose to start 9 mins ago but because 2 players didnt have enough spaces they got removed and the tournament got posponed
anyone any idea why?

ScarletRose: No. Only the triple version.

Is dice poker going to get a Bonus square after the top section? just curious..

AbigailII: I forgot that! Thanks.

naughtypawn: Black has a move. It's *recycle* chess, so black can take its own pieces.

I think there is a bug in this game: Ajedrez Reciclado (naughtypawn contra kid_game_2001) Black hasn't got any moves...

Gabriel Almeida: I posted some ideas at some point somewhere.. I think, but can't remember.

But I would love to see the Brains & points system be merged - that is you gain brains for moves & such - very very small amount. The biggest difference is remove any true value from the brains - that is don't exchange brains for paid membership. But replace it with non-value things like for example, a certain amount of brains can buy an extra vacation day. A certain amount of brains can give you the option to post (an approved) message to either system news or the blog for a day. (great way to advertise your fellowship or tournament.). A certain amount of brains could give you a fun color of rook like purple rook or something. Many things could be thought of to be in the "store" - all of which does not cost Fencer anything other then time to set it up. Kind of like a "money" system - which of course take any true value away from it so it does not turn this site into a betting system which some block.

Anyway, I know I had some plans written up at one point - I think might still be in my notepad. My opinion - scrap the current brains & points action system, and turn it into something that will be used to it's full potential.

Hi. This is just a suggestion, in my opinion (and BBW talked about that recently), brains system is not as develloped as it could be. If more people had brains, they would be more useful (more users envolved, more activities using brains). I think one of the next months action could be something like "buy or renew a membership and you receive XXXX brains. I don't know, 200, 500, 2000, for a knight/bishop, rook or black rook... what do you think?

Less than 2 hours left.

Fencer, thank you for brining this little gem to BrainKing.
