If they're writing a long post on a board, it might show them as being offline (they drop off the list) because they haven't changed a page for a while, they've been incative, even though they may be typing or doing something else. But as soon as they hit 'send' it should show them as being on that board again. I haven't noticed anything wrong with my friends list lately.
Fencer: yeah that page and the list on main page..
Youll think your friend has signed out or just shut window.. then they will post on a board fo rexample, and if you check th efriend page or list, they still say something they were doing a whiole ago, or the main page list still doesnt even show them online as if the 1o or 15 minutes time has passed that says they have been inactive..
Im not the only person who has had this
Fencer: the friends list is all out of sync a lot of times,, you can have someone post on a board etc and it will still be showing them as doing something 5, 10 , 12, 15 minutes ago sort of thing.. I havent noticed any common factor yet cos when it happens, its as if all the friends list freezes compared to what they are doing on the site.. it gets back into shape by itself.. i dont know if that corresponds with the hourly site cathup script etc that checks tournys ready to start etc etc
so I take it that the fact the friends list isnt working right doesnt matter then?
Either that or Plaintiger has a knack of asking questions etc in a better way than some of us lol
i notice the order in which people appear in my "friends online" list changes from one page refresh to the next. this correlates with their activity, huh? people are moved to the top of the list every time they perform an action on the site?
it seems that way because people always seem to move to the bottom of the list just before they disappear, which i figure is the five minutes between the time they perform their last action and the time they show having logged off or gone idle.
Tuesday: You can excel at anti-chess (and chess too, why not) but having not knowledge about chess is not a help for playing well antichess. There isn´t a logic relation between "i am bad at <gameX>" -> "i am good at "anti<gameX>" This implication is false (generally) It´s just a matter of practice. I´m sure you could play very well, play and learn.
for months now, ive noticed the friends list on main page etc, and friends list will show people doing something 10 minutes or so ago, or even show they are not online, and still says that even though they may have just posted on a board etc....
I did bring this up ages ago, but nowt was said.. others have noticed this recently also
I've noticed, that the list of the best players regarding the sum of their established ratings is calculated including games in which the player has been inactive during the last 6 months.
Is that really intended? Wouldn't it be better to exclude such games (as done for the game specific lists of best players)?
I would also wonder, whether Pools should count for this list.
I've finished 8 of the 12 11 point matches with 7 day time control. But there are 2 in which my opponent and I have made only 11 or 12 moves in almost 3 months of play. At that rate, the first round will take 5 or 6 years.
Fencer: I think Marfitalu is requesting for the match games table to include the current game... maybe with something like "game in progress", instead of the winner name
