Snoopy & coan.net : Thanks, thought i was going mad

I will do something like that, but i think being able to delete a Board would be better

Am i missing something

You can delete a Fellowship should you wish to (well Big Boss's can), but is there away to delete a Discussion Board from a Fellowship ?

motylek1978: Great to see you here, always nice to meet new faces

In short, i have made a note of your request (in case our leader hasn't lol) and will pass it on.

The actual site is being re-written at the moment so no changes will be made to this version , unless it is critical.

alilsassy: Little Bosses can not delete Fellowships (as far as i know)

Something i just noticed on the same subject though. A Fellowship i was Little Boss of, i no longer am, and the guy who was Big Boss, is now Little Boss.....and the Big Boss is 'nobody', in fact it does not even show a Big boss in the Fellowship........now thats REALLY odd

Snoopy: Well, yes, if i had the time to keep going through all the Team players to find out if they are still playing here. Still, not to worry

rabbitoid: yeah, i am playing in that

I just think its crazy to start a Tournament one player short. Hope the new BrainKing allows substitutes or maybe even waits before the next round starts, until the Team has been confirmed......not to worry, we will concede a 2-0 start to them

How crazy.... the Final of Jan 2008 Clone Wars has just started, not bad going after 2 years

Sadly, one of our player has not been on BrainKing since August 2008........BUT they still get 2 games in the Final

Would it be possible (well i know it is lol), if we are going to have a Team Challenge Waiting Room in the next version of BrainKing for a script to run every day or so to check players that have been entered in that Team.

Players entered in a Team in the waiting room, could of left the site, gone to a Pawn, changed fellowships, BUT they are still shown in that Team.

I think a script should run once a day, check all players still comply to the Rules (i.e. Still in that Fellowship, not a Pawn & played on the site recentley). If anything seems wrong, the Challenge should be deleted
There are numerous reasons why a player may no longer be able to play, the most annoying one is if they are no longer here on BrainKing.

SL-Mark: Who knows eh ??

Thanks coan

Can anyone find the proper BrainKing board on facebook ??

I can only find the defaced one

Fencer, any idea what happened to this Tournameent Madhouse 2009 - December

I am sure all 3 were set to start either when full or the 31st Dec. Just got a message sying it has been deleted

Snoopy: hmmmmmm i have 4, YET we all know i had none...... Father Xmas must have been again.....bit late now though

well, i have a question ?

I could not get on here today as i kept getting site not available (for just over an hour) !!

Once it got to 9.45 i had to go to a funeral, now i get back rom the funeral and there is no sign of anything being wrong, yet of course i have timed out on lots of games.

I can not beleive i have been the only one with problems.....all oother sites were fine, including brainking.info etc...

Not happy !!

furbster: Of course you can Furby...........if you know a sad English guy scrimping and scrapping for membership

Pedro Martínez: Thanks, never bother looking there these days

When you look at a profile and goto finished games, it used to show you the last 10 games finished, in fact it still says it does.....why now does it not display anything

rabbitoid: Yes, i agree, that can be a pain of Facebook

They do try to cram a lot on a page......... incidently if anyone has trouble with page loading on Facebook, you could always try Facebook Lite

It is limited to what you can do though

This time next year (we hope), or soon after, hopefully the new BrainKing will be just as popular

Facebook reveals its crazy usage figures. - While speaking to journalists in the UK, Facebook have revealed some truly insane usage statistics.

beach: It is fine here in England

Snoopy: Yes, in October i think. I have Firefox 3.7 on here, which is still early in development, which i think comes out in May/June next year

Snoopy: Well, i can everywhere now, BUT like i said it is sooooooo slow. I type in the address and hit return, and it just sits there as if it is not going to do anything, then after a good minute it will start to load the page

Snoopy: Ignore the PM i sent you

I can get on everywhere apart from Facebook using Chrome, BUT it is VERY slow

Doris: yes, it was a 2 game match and you won that one, where as you opponent won the other...so 1 : 1

2 games match
The match is a draw.
Score: Doris: 1.0, AlsknWolfGodess: 1.0

lsmiles44: What would you like toplay ?

rabbitoid: Something is wrong as this Team Tournament was meant to start at 11.00am today

Nov 2009 Break Break Breakthrough

I am sure Fencer had a GREAT Birthday yesterday, though i bet he was working

Anyway, does anyone know who or rather what Fencer shares his Birthday with

NO, ok i will tell you

FIVE years ago, on the 9th November 2004 a new Browser first appeared

FIREFOX was born

So i wish Fencer a Happy belated Birthday and Firefox a Happy 5th Birthday, and many more to come

Firefox celebrates fifth birthday

Roberto Silva: That is nice to know I have never looked into it, but on that i think it should be by win..... BKR should have nothing to do witrh it

cd power: I agree, Elimination should NEVER be about BKR, there should always be a winner

AbigailII: So.... am i missing something ? Draw = New game ? whats wrong ?

Just a little information

Congrats, citizens of Mozilla! Firefox population surpasses that of the United States

I think a Poll is in order

joshi tm: I thought when this was discussed before, if an Elimination game is drawn, the person with the lower bkr is classed as the winner

IMPORTANT

This goes out ALL to Firefox users.

Most of you know what Add-ons & Plug-ins are i hope. In short, they are other programs attached to Firefox to enable it do other things.

Most of the time Add-ons will update themselves as Firefox checks them.

Plug-ins can take ages to update which can lead to security issues & cause crashes.

Firefox are building a Plug-in checker into the upcoming versions of Firefox.

For now, visit THIS PAGE and allow it to do a check for you, and install any updates it finds.

Bookmark that page and check regularly until the new Firefox is released

An interesting article i though i would share, and seeing as it relates to the web and therefore brainking i will put it here.

Remember back when Fencer said that no longer did we have to type www.brainking.com, and we could leave the www. off.

Well, Fencer started a trend, and even the man (Tim Berners-Lee) who is credited with inventing the WWW (World Wide Web) last week at a symposium on the future of technology, was asked if he had any regrets, or would he do anything differently?

Answer: He would get rid of the double slash “//” after the “http:” in Web addresses

So, there you go, even something that we all now take for granted, could have been improved
(Today’s browsers, of course, automatically fill in the “http://” preamble when a user types a Web address.)

furbster: I would rather play, and am surprised this has not cropped up before

pauloaguia: hmmmm i got Mr Bye lol

coan.net: Correct, although there is no need for a check now as Pawns are removed from Teams automatically, BUT sure, once a Team is signed up, that is how they stay.

Hopefully, if Fencer gets time, while designing BK 3.0 ( 'Manatee' as i have named it, all good projects need a name ) there will be a system for substituting players or even just replacing them BEFORE any games are started. Maybe at the Tournaments waiting to be started stage it could check for Pawns and notify Team Captains or Bosses if any show up. I think also it should check to see that all players are active, say just last 2 weeks and also inform those involved.

Of course the ultimate is to be able to substitute players before any moves by that player have been made

Anyway, who likes 'Manatee'? ....... people think that the manatee is just a big, ugly creature, but actually the manatee is the most harmless and graceful of all the big animals....... i think that should define the next BrainKing

SL-Mark: Its is a odd point really.

Once a player becomes a Pawn they are removed from the Teams within any Fellowships they are in, but have to be removed from the Fellowship by the Boss (or Little Boss). So in other words they can not join any upcoming Team Tournaments / Challenges.

BUT as i say, if they are already in a Team Tournament / Challenge that has started, they will carry on playing in that.

SL-Mark: NO, a Pawn can not join a Fellowship.

ONly Bishop, Knight or Rook (and those higher of course). If you have joined and your membership runs out, you are still in that Fellowship until you are removed.

Also, if you are in a Team, in a Tournament or Match at that time, you will still carry on playing even though you are a Pawn.

Pedro Martínez: This is what happens when P-e4 is played

Fencer: Or if you do not use any Add-ons, use Prism (which is also an Add-on as well as an application made my Mozilla)

It is not a browser, and it is so fast if you are just wanting to play all your games

ughaibu: CHROME is a Browser released by Google.

It is getting quite popular, and is pretty fast (like Safari lol) but will never be as versatile as FF. I use it for playing Farm Town on Facebook lol

I am looking into the BrainKing site problem, as in relation to Firefox 3.5 as i do not think it is only site

Fencer: Would this have something to do with logging me out on Facebook.

I normall have 2 Tabs open on Facebook, sometimes when i go there, the chat box says i timed out and have to Login again, other times it just logs me out straight away or when i refresh the page

I do not get that here though, but then rarley do i use a Browser to access BrainKing now

I will have a look on the Mozilla blog and see if anything is mentioned

ughaibu: Is it just not brainking you are having problems with ?

If it is everything then it is a problem lol. Is your computer old ?

Is there any chance of doing a System Restore ?

If you have re-installed Firefox AND still having problems logging here, or getting on the web i doubt it is Firefox. East thing to do as Rose say is try another Browser (preferably no IE lol). Chrome is a good choice.

If it is still problems with the web, it is either your connection or the pc. Connection you would have to talk to your provider providing you are sure your end is set up correctly.

PC problems could be endless, if it was ok, and now it is not, then it is case of finding out what. Which is a process of Elimination. IF you have no System Restore point all you can try is the things you should run regually anyway.
First thing to do is make sure all your virus protection is up 2 date, and run that. Run which ever system cleaner you use. Run Scan Disk. Run a Registry cleaner (Eusing do a good FREE one). Lastly Defrag it.

If you had some sort of error message it would be useful

ughaibu: Better still, if you are not worried about Add-ons or anything as such.

Use Prism, by Mozilla. It runs a website as an Application rather than through a browser

Saying that i can not think what is causing your Firefox problem, if it is a Firefox one

Tuesday: LOL LOL Fencer didn't seem as irritated with us.

Its is VERY nostalgic as you say, i think even Filip would say so. The site has come a long way in 7 years, and do you notice, when a post went on the bored he nearly always responded straight away , he just does not get time not. I doubt then he though it would of got so big, and hopefully with the new revamped version, it will get BIGGER & BETTER.

Lots of old names and faces i have been reminded of since going through these. First games asked for were Cribbage & Dominoes . It is amazing how many things that have been asked for have been added since the start. It would be great to see the site code then , compared to now lol

Well, 3,000 posts down, 12,000 to go........or something like that lol *1116^

Tuesday: And who can forget eddie spaghetti ? Great guy , i cant believe how many have left us

My great friend Back Soon, has still not returned (as yet lol)

Tuesday: Its a blast from the past, the names PrettyBueEyes, Bubbly, harley etc..etc..

Tuesday: lol, yep

Tuesday: Yes, another of my great ideas, well, myself and harley actually took the idea to Filip.

Then we called it Customer Services lol....... those were the day
