I agree that its very frustrating any time someone is discovered as cheating - lets make sure we dont flame or bait any particular users - but by all means - please PM a GM or fencer to let them know your concerns - there are so many games being played - there is no way for one person to monitor all of them - but - BUT - those of you that are being impacted by cheating - you are the ones that can see - can notice - and can let the powers that be know about it - I have already sent a message regarding the original post on this topic.... please refrain from continuing this topic here - feel free to PM me directly and ill continue to get these issues addressed.... thanks!

Marfitalu: Wow, he reminds me of Jeckelchen who won countless Line4 games against Jeckel in 1-8 moves

dicepro: i contacted him when i went to prague.
he is still alive (although he had a bike accident :))

real life just found him again .. and makes it hard to get online

On the "list of boards" page there should be a search bar that searches is ALL discussion boards. That way, you can find subjects that you don't where to look for or aren't where they should be.
that was a very long sentence.

MadMonkey: Well... any thought on Connect5 as a new game? I think it is a fun variant to Connect6, and that is one of the more popular games... you would think C5 would be also.

Sorry, I misread and didn't notice you were talking about the guestbook

Fencer: Contact form i guess works, it just vanished and said it had been mailed lol
I did not have to sign in though OR enter an email addy either

coan.net: The guestbook plugin seems to be buggy. Try the Contact Form instead.

coan.net and MadMonkey: Just tried it, works fine for me

coan.net: hmm i tried and it told me to sign in first, so i did like i normally have to,and it was fine

Seems to defeat the idea really lol

I tried about 10 times to enter something in the new guestbook using the Captcha feature, but always got the same error. (i figured I might mess it up 9 times in a row, but after 10, ???)

ERROR MESSAGE:


There are some errors:

* Message: An unknown error occured. Please try again or inform the webmaster of this site. Thank you!

Pedro Martinez ?

rednaz23: Well there is no reason you can not ask here, as it is a new game

Also, there is the Feature Request Board

Where do we go to ask for a new game? I know there is a board around here somewhere specifically for it... but I haven't been able to find it! I believe it is on the brainking.info side, but I can't find it. Can someone post that link for us?

Thanks!

joshi tm: Most likely the model does not override the correct value. I'll fix it soon.

Why does Brazilian Checkers have the same Bordercolor as Dameo?

Fencer, do you remember a while ago i asked about the following. I do not think its a bug or a feature request, so i will mention it here

When we make a move in a game and STAY in that game, we have a nice link still in the top-left that says Play the next game of xxxxxx just so we can jump to the next game of that type.

Two things:
1) The link is not there if the move you have just played finishes that game.
2) Could we have the destination drop box there instead / as well ? So we can goto Next Game, Main Page etc..

Thank you

Snoopy: Yes.

MadMonkey:

Ohhhhh, I like this idea  

As Firefox 3 fully supports Animated PNG files(new file format), will we be able to use Animated Avatars on BrainKing in the future or don't you want them

See my new proposal in the
Other Chess Variants discussion board

Mal 4 Inara:top one is small

Hi, I am having problems loading the settings page for backgammon, the pieces aren't loading, though can see the green dot to change the settings.  Can someone tell me what each setting is, ie is the top one small or big? 

Thanks

Jo

Can you make it so we can use the big board for all backgammon variants, and switch to the small board only in Plakoto please?

Andersp: no its from my home

Jason: Is that when you play at work?

Tuesday: If you have a questions about moderation - or something to do with the board itself, you might be better off sending a private PM to the moderator which will not risk being overlooked.

If you have a general question on a board open to anyone (not board or moderator specific), then anyone is free to answer or not answer.

im from uk

ScarletRose: I have the fastest that is available to us over here.....ADSL...the only thing that is slow for me is this site.......IYT is unbelievably fast as is Gold Token. I havent had dial up for about 12-18 mths......

Bernice: Do you have dial up..?? Or High Speed.. such as DSL?

stegosaurus: thank you.......

Bernice:
high number = fast connection
low number = slow connection

kbps = kilobytes per second

what do the figures mean? is Jason figures THE BEST, and are mine THE WORST?... or vice versa??? can someone explain?

I got 3921 download and 361 upload ;)

Bernice: I got 774 DL and 15 UL - from Midwest, USA

furbster: where are you? I'll add you & Bernice on there

I dont know whats good or bad but i got 1005 ul and 339 dl could have been the other way roudn tho whichever is first

using the former article - Brainking speed test i only got 93 UL and 26DL

seeing as I cant access the Blog to post the results of a speed test Im putting it here.

Thank you Fencer, one more Backgammon toy to play with ;)

coan.net: I had to close the browser to install the program. I could try restarting the computer though I suppose, and see if it helps.

nodnarbo: If you say you downloaded and installed the flash player update, you may need to restart the browser if you have not.

nodnarbo: When I click the link it just does the test. And I hate flash player and try and avoid games that need it. Only Fencer can answer your question if it is doing that to you.

Mousetrap: well, see, Fencer says, "click the 'begin test' button" all I see is a big black box with a link on it saying "Please update your client"

nodnarbo: I do not understand the need to download or update flash player. I have never been asked to download or update Flash player to test the speed. If I were you I would run a spy ware check

I am having issues with the brainking.info site. I tried to comment on there but couldn't figure out how, but that's not my main problem.
I'm trying to do the speed test, but it says I have to update my flash player. I downloaded the installer and installed it, but it still says I need to update. I was trying to figure this problem out on another computer recently with no success. CAN ANYONE HELP??

Looks like these results will be interesting..........
