Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
Fencer: Just to add, Firefox 3.0 has an awesome new Bookmarking system, though take a bit to get used to, i will have a play. I even have the Brain (BrainKing logo one) on my Toolbar now, it just appeared lol, and it activates a drop box with all possible places to Bookmarks thing
anyone thinking of getting the new mobile broadband i can recomend it.i have gone with vodafone and to say it is only 7.2mbps (been told that i will most likely get around 2-5 untill next year when things get upgraded) i find it as fast as my home broadband which is weird ;)
MadMonkey: Of course it is not compatible because at the time of publishing the extension it was not possible to allow newer version than 3.0 beta 5. But I can change it now, hopefully.
MadMonkey:I'm impressed with its loading speed. Also pdf's open much, much faster with the new FF. Also less wait time for pages to open from email ( clicking links in email used to take quite a few seconds, now they are nearly instant) So far I like the latest version.
paully: I find it far faster than Firefox 2.0, and it is meant to be. Every Beta version i have tried is great. PLEASE remember, this may not be the final version released, it is a complete version of everything that has been developed and there may be bugs about. If worried, wait till the final release date which hopefully will be later this month
tonyh: Perhaps. but unless it is a Java application or something other than HTML, it still reloads the entire page. That site may be faster for you than this site for a number of reasons.
Is there a way to force a win over an opponent in a game where no time control is used? I'm a brain pawn, so I only have 20 slots, so I need to get rid of this game, because my opponent doesn't visit the site any more. Is there any way to do that or do I have to resign?
rabbitoid: It might also base results on IP addresses. In that case, users with IPs that change periodically (like dialup AOL users, for example) would skew the results, but probably not horribly.
I've seen a lot of similar statistics that explicitly say "unique IP addresses", so I think it's fairly common practice.
rabbitoid: Well, I have to read the log analyzer documentation to find out how it calculates the results. But your idea of adding a BrainKing statistics page of browser usages is good too.
I'm somewhat sceptical about your figures. Can you elaborate? How do you define "use of a browser"? global number of page requests or per user? since heavy user X will use the same computer, browser and environment (most of the time) he will bias the statistics to his browser, no? Still, the data is interesting. Could we have, somewhere in the statistics, a breakdown of the use of browsers? By the way, the "Statistics" doesn't show as a link on my page, but maybe that's only because I'm condemned to IE6 at work . Never mind, I can still see it using the address http://brainking.com/en/Statistics
