today is his birthday..? by all means, enjoy your day my good man!! oh, you and MsDelete are right, the "draw" bridge is working just the way you say.. it's been a while that i used that button (once or twice) so you tend to forget how it does work.. maybe a delete button won't be needed after all.. lol...
Thanx to both of you.. :)

I',m not sure if you'll be able to retrieve any of what was lost, but with the asumption that you can not, can you "install" a DELETE button (maybe only temporary) for those (me included) that do not wish to or want to "re-play" games that have already been played, so if we choose, we may delete these games without penalties..? (since the "draw" system doesn't seem to be working properly) Maybe this would put a smile on some of the.. maybe not angry, but unhappy faces..
Thank you Sir'Fencer.. :)

When one chooses to call for a "draw" to a game, clicks on draw, writes a message and then submits, WHY (when i get back to the main page) do i still have that game sitting there, waiting for "ME" to play..?? In fact, all the games i went in and asked for a draw are still on "my turn to play" side of the page and not the opponents side..
Can you please look into this..?? Thanx!!

what would happen if we just refrain from plying these games that come back to haunt us from the past here.. i mean, we already won or lost them and i really can't see replaying the "same" games over again.. OR can we (somehow) just DELETE them, without getting a penalty put against you (your bk ratings) for it..?? then we could start up again with new games.. shoot, i had like 5 tourney games going before the crash.. they just disapeared and that is what i was looking forward to, coming back here from the crash.. :(
How 'bout it Fencer.. can you install a "delete button" with no penalties for us (if we so choose to take that route)..?? :)

5 or 6 screens, at a time..? hmmmmm, must be nice to have a PC..!!! I'll trade ya my web-tv for it.. LOL...
speaking of slowing down the site, anyone notice it being slower more recently than say a month ago..? At least it seems to me that it takes longer for things to load..!!!

no problem Christine.. and you're welcome.. :-))

Christine, it also depends on what days you chose as your week-end days..

THIS may be a bit long, BUT may also be beneficial..
Now THIS, I do believe, is a good subject to kick around a little.. :-))
Hi Fencer.. I have been wondering the same thing for quite sometime.. I know I would very much like to be able to go to the next opponent (when I submit my "Move and go to next game") that I have the "least" amount of time left on, before I time-out.. It is a (BIG) hasle to have to return BACK to the main page and "manually" click on my next opponent in line "time-wise".. If I have 20 games, then that's not only 20 extra click-ons, but extra scrolling (at least I have to) as well and this all takes up a lot of extra time to do..
So yes Fencer, I have to agree to what "kygal" is getting at.. Is there something you could implement on either the games that could give us an option for what games we wish to play next..
OR, set a choice in our "settings";
-like the way you have it set now (still can't figure this one out) or..
-according to least time left to play (like GT or IYT) or..
-opponent's nic in alphabetical order or..
-type of game you're playing (maybe in ABC order as well) or..
-etc, etc, etc...
I think this would be of interest to everyone that plays here. ESPECIALLY "paid members" that have a lot more than just 20 games like myself.. I can't EVEN imagine having 100 games or more and have to go through an EXTRA 100 or more click-ons and scrolls just to get to your next opponent with the "least" amount of time left..
....and ahhhhh btw, where's my sabotage..? :-(( lol..

I DID say I "personally" don't have the problem..

Fencer, I do not "personally" have a problem with the brightness.. some of the people I play (or HAVE played) apparently have some kind of eye problems where a bright screen tends to hurt in some way, like give headaches, burn, make them squint, go crosseyed, I don't know, but it IS bright and must be bright enough to keep people from coming on to play cuz I just got another win by defalt (and you know that's not right).. also some people may not be able to make screen ajustments, enough to compensate without character component distortion.. my latest loss online was "mogal", and I'm talking about a "friend" here, not the game.. Now just wondering, is there a lot involved to implement a choice of color or different shade backgrounds..? Sorry Fencer, I'm not trying to sound rude, just trying to explain the best I can.. Everyone knows you work very hard on this site.. :-))

Hey Fencer, "Happy New Year".. :-))
ahh, my clientel :-) and i are wondering how soon will it be, before you have the "background choice" link set up..?? or did you already do it and i just don't know where to look..!!!!

ummmmm, i'm not sure if your relativly new to web-tv or not, but if you're having that phrase "to big to be shown completely" come up more than a couple times, or when you submit after playing a game and you get a blank white page. then it is time to shut your web-tv unit "off".. this lets it "re-boot itself" or clean it's "ka-HOO-cheez" (lol) and then you can go again.. only takes a minute or so.. should be ok again for a while.. :-))

Please look in your message box.. :-//

Fencer: Yes sir, I do believe it's the "white" that's too "bright", and I'm sure they will all thank you for that added option.. (I as well so I won't lose any more clients from it). lol...
Do you know how soon it will be, before it's activated..??

Does anyone have sensitivity to the brightness that the back-ground here gives out..? I have 2 players that love this site, but won't play anymore because they say it's too "bright" and hurts their eyes far too much to continue.. Is there a choice of back-ground shade or color on here we can choose from..?

that'll be cool.. I'll give it a look-see, and thanx Fencer.. :-))

Fencer, not sure if anyone else is having this as a problem, but is it possible that you could make a simple change with the "note-box" like putting it as a "clickable link" to bring UP the box instead of just having it there..? or maybe just make it a different shade of color might work.. Sorry, the reason I'm requesting this is because there are several times (feeling like a fool here) I have found that I have wrote my message to my opponent in my note-box instead of where it should have been.. then turn around and have to re-write it over again..
also, could you add an "edit" and a "delete" button to it as well..?

aaaaaaahh "SABOTAGE" holliday gift..?? ~=)¦:-)))
