I've just been to Kiry's profile looking for a game I think we played a few months ago, the archive of 3+s' games is nonsense.

SIGNUP HERE
All you pawns, dont waste your time on a 2 year long tourney, this will run much much faster. Leave the long one and sign up for a tourney that offers results in a shorter period of time

Link Edited to work. (damn feature shows up errors LOL)

Correction on Move Length

I feel sorry for the pawns that have to wait 10 DAYS (I originally thought it was 5 and just checked and it was 10 which is 2 weeks per single move. that is only 26 moves for a whole year so a single longish 52 move game may take as long as 4 years if both players play the max length) per move simply to try and win a rook membership.

Here is the deal all you pawns.

Leave that long drawn out tourney, join mine which will only be 1 day per move and I will donate a rook membership to the winner and also a rook membership to the runner up.

Both will be paid for to Fencer prior to the tourney starting. I will create and post the link shortly

could always trim your yard to the line ;oÞ

ok if you insist
I'll bring the shrimp

sounds like a grass growing night may not be as boring as you may think.
we can all sit around grinning and eating

i hope your paint drying night doesnt clash with my grass growing night lol

either way, its a damn waste of time for 18 bucks LOL
we should be spending our time on something more worthwhile.
1. I have a paint drying night coming up soon, everyone is invited to watch.
2. Replays of Geoffrey Boycott in his prime

why 2 game with backgammon though? die decides who starts

its a 2 game one too, so probably be a lot longer!

I think the tournament is 5 days per move right?
Considering many who joined are very very slow players, a tourney that size may take upwards of a year.
I suggest to all pawns not to join such a long tourney as you will not be able to join any other tournaments and there will be no result for well over 1 year guaranteed

anyone interested in a rook for a backgammon tournament.102 have joined so far let's make this a big one,you only need 4 game slots for the pawns.thanks to all that have joined so far and good luck.

Before, a Pawn/Knight needed 5 spaces free for any tournament (10 for the 2-game tournaments).

Is that still the same? Or has it been changed to depend on how many games are started?

It is justmy point of view. However since many people have the same sort of questions about the new version of Brainking. It would be wise to post concerns here as then Fencer can answer many people with one posting instead of trying to private message everyone. Liquid and Fencer both work other jobs, have families and upkeep this site. Please help them being patient and understanding. The more private messages they have to respond to the less time they have to work out the bugs on the site. So in my view the best way to get an answer to a question is to make a posting on a board. Also if other members know the answer they can aid Fencer and Liquid by answering on their behalf which also frees up some time for them. Again it is just my point of view..

Why all this noice about login. I dont type anything, i just click "login" when my name and password has "popped up".
If you have 50 games to play and have to click "submit" 50 times cant you click "login" once? :)

I would encourage you to give a more wait and see approach. Fencer works a fulltime job as well as keeping up this site and making time for his family. THings have been busy with the whole switchover. It has been said in one of the discussion boards that it was done to give player accounts more security. By having players login they are more protected against hacking situation. There must be a threat of someone wanting to hack into player accounts or they would not have it set up this way. Please give the whole thing some time.

Well with the recent conversion, and other bugs - they are probable busy.

Login situation - are you talking about the no auto-login situation. Well you can stay with your option to leave, get a browser which has a password manager, or change your password that is something easy to type in each time.

I'm deleting my account at Brainking.com. I sent a message to BRAINKING about the login situation and received "no response." I would of accepted any response.

There is no excuse for not maintaining a line of communication with paid members. Just think, what is this policy of ignoring paid member messages? It should speak volumes.

I'm deleting my account. Should you?

I miss that one too.

i miss being logged in automatically when i come to the site. is there any way to make that happen again?

Another small bug? When you search the player list, whatever name you type in, it tells you there is '1 registered player' - even though there could be 3 pages showing of that name!

I believe that those types of messages were either invites to fellowships, or games which no longer exist - or something like that.

I have a number of messages titled "fip 218" or "itt 12141" or "dg 342106|21 383", the numbers vary. the contents is empty.

Yea, I think that has to do with the known bug of the numbers next to the discussion boards - my message box number is up to 22 (no new)

lol I'm showing 3 new messages in my message box even though I have NO messages in either box.

all fellowship pages have to be scrolled across.
Is this something new or a bug?
it is a bit of a nuisance

'k, thanks, Stevie. :)

Has anyone else looked in the message box while on Guest Mode? There are a few messages there, none of which can be deleted.

send 40 x 50 pixel piccy to fencer at info@brainking.com and he will do it :o)

how do i post my photo like everyone else seems to be doing? seems logical that it should be a function of the "My profile" page, but i don't see anything about it there...thanks!

BuilderQ: In my case it seems to be trying to make up the total losses on every page instead of just listing the losses for the year.

In chess, when a pawn can only go one step forward, In BK 1.0 the move would be made automatically but in here I had to select the square myself. Lazy, aren't I?

Small Bug: Just noticed that the images in the Battleboats Rules are not showing up.

I'll try that link again.

Oops, that link didn't work, nor did it even show up the way I wrote it.

ughaibu: the results of many matches are incorrectly recorded. Look at <A HRefhttp://brainking.com/game/Profile?u=9275&eg=16>this page; I have never really lost at spider line4.

According to my profile I lost a two game match (no.12329) but if I click on that match it turns out I won both games??

Caissus: Right, it's based on a new database structure, so the code is not finished yet. The previous one was too uneffective.

Yes, it's a small bug.

When i click online opponents, it shows 2 pages, but shows page 1 as my online opponents which just happens to be only 1 at the moment. But says 80 online opponents, when i click page 2, it shows the second page of your online players :o) thats the page missing from your online players over 50 isnt it :o)

It's not fixed yet.

My message box still has 2 phantom messages

New bug : "Show players games with me only" does not work.

sorted ;))) good idea that for those who can only read english ;)))

Jason: There is a new option on Settings page, at the bottom.

only one thing i dont like in the new way the fellowship boards are done is that when there is a new message , which i goto look at its taking me to the checzh (spelling) page which i cant read , i wasnt informed before about these posts on bk 1 ,but now i have to look just incase its on the english board ...i also need to get rid of the red new post bit . is there a way so only english posts show up as new ?

There are so many games now in the "Waíting room".It is not possible to have a filter,to see only chessgames,only checker games etc.?

Profile pages show last 10 finished games of the player.

BBW, don't forget the flags, if you 'hover' over a flag, the name of a country comes up! I like that one!

thanks
