BerniceC: Are you on a PC? Right click and "open in new window". Then when you're finished, you can just close the window.

Harley, please do not delete this....it is BK related, and I want an answer, because it was great before and it is POO house now:)

Thad: the pages open in the same place because most people do not know about the target="_blank"> html option....
Stevies link all open in place of the BK page...and so do most other links posted by MEMBERS...therefore...ggggrgrrrrrrrrr.... you HAVE to use the back button.
How often do I have to say the same thing over and over.....isnt my english any good....Can some one with a knowledge of HTML please enlighten someone on here....It might even be me...I can send you to my graphics site and you can stay there forever while you surf the different categories with out using the back button.....THIS is what im talking about....:(

BerniceC: On the contrary. In the past it worked as you describe because the page was always loaded from the server. Now it's not.

BerniceC: Option-click on links like that so that your window with the DB discussion on it stays intact. Then you don't need to go back, just close the other window when you're done and you'll be right where you left off.

Fencer: You misunderstand what I'm saying....
example....
Stevie directs me to his scooby site...I go look...no probs.....In the past when I hit the back button to come back to BK it came back to Stevie's posted link....now it doesnt it comes back to the top of the current page for that DB or F/s...which mean i have to scroll down to find the link again.....all the RED NEW have gone so I cant use that to navigate either, and if there has been a couple hundred posts it makes it even harder....I hope Im not confusing thing :(

BerniceC: You have the left column menu to go anywhere you want. There is no reason to use the back button.

i got windows....only 98SE but it is windows LOLOL and it worked until recently.....about 6-7 days ago maybe?? even shorter??

I have the same problem on the Mac but it works fine on the windows machine.

Fencer: OK :) tell me what to do then? there isnt a link saying "take me back to where i was"

BerniceC: Don't hit the back button. It's a bad practice on all dynamically generated sites.

why is it when i hit the back button, i then have to hit refresh to go back a page?
Also if someone puts a live link on a DB or in a fellowship, you click on it and in the past when you have hit theback button to return it has taken you back to exactly where you clicked on the live link...not anymore..it takes you to the top of the page....so you have to scroll down and find where the link is to continue reading the board! ummm is that clear? :)

ok Fencer, what did you break???

i couldnt connect either

nope, it was me too

What happened to the Brainking? I couldn't connect for the last half hour but now it seems OK.
Is it only me or it was a problem......?

Nirvana: Psst, feature requests is thataway!

Thad: it would be helpful to have a separate bit on that for discussion/chat etc to keep the story lines going more fluently ~ you are right there!
Any chance of that please Fencer?

Fencer: Cool, I hadnt noticed that before LOL Ive had so many ask me and ive had to remember

Stevie: http://brainking.com/game/FAQ?ht=10

Left

Right.

big profile piccy is 200wide x 300high pxls isnt it?

Maxxina: so that could be 7 or 9 depending on where it timed out in the week...thanks

Maxxina: hmm... including weekends or does the count start only after a weekend?

what fencer said that should be only 5 days in row .

pauloaguia: must be something about CS reps LOL

bwildman: I don't think so. I've got a game where a certain player has been autovacationing for the last couple of weeks now...

has there been a limit set for auto vacation?

Thad: Let me know when you do a story Fellowship. I will be the first to join lol

reza: LOL, its only generous if someone can get a solution :)

How about one for us non chess players?

reza:

Fencer is generous with such low prices for the memberships...........

Chessmaster1000: Seems you're feeling quite generous Chessmaster!

Sorry, but nobody as i can see has solved both 3 problems. So there is no winner........
Here are the solutions.

Tomorrow i will post a new one with 1 year prize this time........

I don't know about speed(well i think it's rather quick), but Brainking's graphics and the whole environment, are the best in our galaxy!!!!

Fencer:
BrainKing graphics & pages have always been fast.
Fastest loading *turn based* game site for me

Fencer: ok .. i caught some of them .. hah! i didnt even blink my eyes or i would have missed them

Hrqls: There were several fast restarts.

not yet ... but i never thought it slow .. except maybe the emoticon java popup .. which seems a bit faster now .. but that could also be my network/configuration/..

will have to try it when i am at home :)

(i did notice a downtime around 10:30 this morning though .. which might be the time at which i had a downtime on other days as well ?)

Anybody observing a faster image loading after re-visiting a page?

http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments

Here you'll find tournaments. Most o fthe ones in bold writing are prize tournaments of some dscription. It should say what the prize is if you click on the tournament name. Good luck! :o)

Lieutenant Minz:

Hello :)

Looking forward to the games and tournaments. Does anyone win prizes?

Thank you and it is good to be here.

hello Lieutenant Minz! Welcome to Brainking!

Would like to say Hallo!

Maxxina: oh right i never knew that - thank you

Fiona - Ponds are only for paying members

i was just wondering - are pawns able to join ponds and if so - how many are they limited to joining?? or does it go in with the games total e.g. 15 games and 5 ponds etc.
