perhaps if you sent a message to Fencer...he could clear this up so you can play all 3 of your games undisturbed by color malfunctions ;-)

Asunto: LOL...Bad Movie Theater with...

cheap seats!

28. Septiembre 2004, 22:07:27

Asunto: OOPS, The settings are now all white backgrounds no matter what you choose.

I'm happy with black lettering showing up on a white background.....my eyes are at rest finally!

28. Septiembre 2004, 22:07:26

keeshound, its usully the simple things we miss. It may sound like a silly question, but after you click to change white/dark background, did you click on 'save and finish'?

28. Septiembre 2004, 22:05:35

LOL:) we all sat in them at one time ;-)

28. Septiembre 2004, 22:05:30

Asunto: Now that's a real good way to get a pawn, once paying member to again sign up!

I just went to my settings and it doesn't make any difference as to if I click on light/white or dark.......they both show up the same!

Ah...those in the cheap seats must strain to see the screen!

Asunto: Re: OK FENCER.....I'm Going Color blind!

they reversed the color scheme...now Fencer has fixed it...so may need to change it back.I think it must be an issue for pawns.

Asunto: Re: I Did Check My Settings

From the time I registered on this site the setting was always set to a light/white ground. What the heck has happened since is beyond me. I finally had to re-set to a dark background just to be able to read without extra-special, night-vision glasses! Something is wrong somewhere and I never changed a thing until last night when all the other members suggestions came in.

keeshound4: may be you can just sent Fencer a screen shot of your problem. it will be more helpfull then saying "I'm ...." ;-)

28. Septiembre 2004, 21:51:21

keeshound, have you checked your settings?

28. Septiembre 2004, 21:47:50

Asunto: Alright then, I'll spite on my gun barrel and head for the water bucket if necessary....

still won't probably help my color wheel where this site is heading.

This weekend I intend to put together his interview, so if you can think of ANY question you would like to see in the interview, please send it to me! We've had some great questions so far, and the more the merrier! So get your thinking caps on, and send me your questions for BIG BAD WOLF!

Asunto: Great !!

there we will be updated then further,
- about your mess with that nasty server
on barracuda islands, I hope confidently ... ~*~

Thanks, GothicChess.org is up and running again!

28. Septiembre 2004, 08:08:10

right - understood. :)

i sleep now. 'night - and thank you to you and/or liquid and/or whomever for giving us back our spies and sappers. :)

28. Septiembre 2004, 08:01:43

Fencer

Yes, that's nice :-) But we need hardware first.

28. Septiembre 2004, 07:59:03

while you're looking at new servers, i might suggest you look at Mac OS X Server, if brainking could be run on it (i don't know if it could). i only think of it because it can do cool, staff-reducing things like page an admin if it goes down and stuff like that. i don't know if you'd want that, but if it sounds appealing, it does exist...

and if i come into any money soon (which it's possible that i may, a little) i'll send some your way. :)

28. Septiembre 2004, 07:53:33

Fencer

Yes, and some other sites we host. They run, unlike BrainKing, on Apache web server.

28. Septiembre 2004, 07:49:27

Grim Reaper

GothicChess.org is down too.

Asunto: Missing images

Heh heh :-) Why does it always happen when we are sleeping?
The image server seems to show a little peculiar behaviour but it's nothing rare and unexpected. A simple restart will fix it, when Liquid is online.
We don't have money for a fail-safe system. We also don't have money to hire people to monitor the site 24 hours a day. However, we offer several ways how to contribute, at least for a new database server. Who really wants to help and not only talk about it, helps. It's not mandatory, of course. But it's an option for everyone.

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:38:41

heehee! well, neither have i (though i think i could have - it might have been more a Word thing than a Windows-specific thing), but i've seen similar aberrations, and read a bug report about that very one (give or take the hot and horny part). :D

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:35:03

ROFL! I can't say i've ever had THAT happen specifically... :-)

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:33:39

Asunto: Re:

lol - that's right! :D and sometime next year the text of the hot and horny love letter you thought you deleted will show up in the middle of the resume you just emailed to a hundred prospective employers... :D

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:33:20

i've seen a few games - the smalles amazons graphics, the smallest old-checkers pieces (pawn and king only), largest two new-checkers pieces, battleboats graphics, various other miscellaneous pictures... (there's likely more).

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:31:47

and for any who haven't noticed, it now seems to be Espionage's turn to display question marks or Xes or whatever your system displays in lieu of graphics it can't display. :)

Yes, but if you were on windows, it would say "Are you sure you want to delete this file?" and then you say "Yes" and then it would go to the recycle bin, and then press delete again and it would say "Are you sure you want to delete this file?" and then you press "yes" again, and your file is STILL not permanently gone! :-) lol

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:29:18

no, actually, if you buy a Macintosh and press delete, the Macintosh will say "are you sure you want to trash all your hard work without saving it first?". and if you then say "yes" and then say "whoops," you have no-one to blame but yourself. :)

ur bad ROSE...LOL..:))))))))))))))))

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:21:18

And if you buy a Macintosh and press delete and say "whoops" - there's nothing to be done except re-create the file. :-)

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:19:53

Asunto: Re:

and if you buy a Macintosh, you won't get viruses (or popup windows), you can slap in a TV tuner card and have your TV right there, and like ScarletRose said, a wireless keyboard and mouse'll have you on your comfy couch in no time. and if you're really attached to any Windows applications, there's software that'll let you run that too.

just another thought... ;)

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:16:25

ScarletRose

Asunto: Re:

Why not get a wireless keyboard then.. or wireless mouse.. hahaha

and viruses.. you don't get.. unless you foolishly open something you shouldn't.. If you know how to protect against viruses.. such as firewalls.. well then.. you don't have probbies.. haha..

And with puter .. peeps can chat together and even share webcamming.. :)

28. Septiembre 2004, 06:12:56

I agree with both of you. There are a lot of things webtv cant do...including getting a virus :)
Like Rod said, I enjoy being on my couch or recliner while playing on the web. When I use a computer I get antsy and uncomfortable after about a half hour in that chair and desk. There are also many thing the webt can do that a computer cant , mostly tv related, but I love tv as well :)

rod03801

Not necesarilly. Even if I had a computer, I would still surf the web with my WebTV. I do not want to be stuck sitting at a desk while I'm playing my games. I prefer sitting on my couch with the webtv remote control..
Of course, a lap top would solve that! :-D

The numbers on the espionage pieces are impossible for us to see on webtv (or i should say MOST of us probably)... the sizes are a little different, but not enough to easilly tell them apart..
I was looking forward to playing it!

28. Septiembre 2004, 05:38:01

ah. i see.

would having HDTV improve that situation at all?

but then, if one's going to have HDTV, i guess one might as well buy a computer while one's out shopping, huh? :D having HDTV and webtv would be kind of like having a beverly hills mansion with an inflatable kiddie pool in the back yard. :)
