mine are:
waiting for brainking.com, read brainking.com, and
transferring data from brainking.com.......in that order (with a snow-white page)

7.87 secs to post that and complete page load

Fencer: ok, as i said i am trying to be helpful

I sit here and watch all these messages (and more) appear lots of times in rapid succession while a page is loading:
waiting for brainking.com
reading data from brainking.com
waiting for i.brainking.com
connecting to i.brainking.com
connected to i.brainking.com
read brainking.com
transferring data from brainking.com (this stays and waits the longest)

and all this time the page is still loading, and Fasterfox counter is timing it.

How come with NO other site i have this problem, i never get to read those messages anywhere else as it happens so fast and the page, HOWEVER big it is loaded.

Again, i am trying to be helpful and giving you any information i think may help track the answer as i know i am not the only one, and like i said the site has been amazingly fast up until a few days ago

Fencer: Am I wrong in feeling that your state of the union will include lowered expectations regarding site speed?

Bernice: You are wrong in both parts of your statement because 1) you don't have the fastest connection speed (it is obvious), 2) other sites are not fine. Time has come to accept it.

MadMonkey: My continuous and thorough tests say the average page generation time is about 0.1 - 0.3 seconds, and this is the result based on measurements from the last 6 months. Whatever happens OUTSIDE BrainKing, i.e. on the way to the user's web browser, is not (and cannot be) our problem. Our power ends at the outgoing port of our firewall.

MadMonkey: I wish mine would load in 20secs:( Im on the fastest connection speed I can be on and it is still slow....other sites are fine.

I'm getting a "denied access by publisher of page." Hope this is a temporary glitch not exclusive to me.

Fencer: Without getting into an old conversation, we are trying to be positive (well i am lol)

The site has been great for ages now, BUT since about the time of the Archive, i have a dramatic slowdown in brainking response time.
All other sites, well, the other 7 open in Tabs at present load pages between 1.07 and 3.61 seconds.
Brainking varies wildly though, i can get a games page load in from 1.7 secs which is great, however, any other pages seem to take anywhere from 4 to 20 secs

Just an annoying observation, what has started this again

Jim Dandy: I don't see any problems and I prepare an article which should be the ultimate answer to everyone, once and forever.

Jim Dandy: Yes, i was not going to mention it, but the last few days, in fact since the Data Archiving it has been real bad at times.

I would of thought that would make it faster, like cleaning & defragging

can we expect better days ahead?

MadMonkey: When someone sends it.

Fencer: Look what i found

I want to receive an occasional BrainKing newsletter to my e-mail account

Whens the first one

Nirvana: Yes you can hide someone in a fellowship from others , BB and moderators will still see them though .........but woulsnt it be easier to remove them from the fellowship

Nirvana: This was discussed a while ago and i think Fencers answer was something along these lines.
If you are the Big Boss of a Fellowship, you only have people in there that you choose, and hopefully get on with, and that follow the rules you set down.
You have the power to remove anyone, who does not abide by your rules.

This i would normally agree with, but with one exception, when you have been left in charge of someones Fellowship for a reason of absence. Here it might be nice to have 'suspend a person' option where all there Fellowship privileges are halted (no read/write boards, joining Tournaments & Teams etc....).

Nirvana: As far as I know there is no way to hide someone for everyone exept for the crew I guess. On the other hand side you can get mod there to see hiden posts. Confusing that all

gogul: I meant as a moderator, sorry.

Nirvana: You mean as a big boss to hide it for everyone? It's not possible, you can't exept kick "it" out of your f/s.

can anyone tell me please exactly how to put a person in hide in a fellowship?

coan.net: OK...thanks

Andersp: Blocking someone stops them from sending you private messages, from being able to invite you to a game or fellowship, stops you from being able to see their game messages.

Hiding them on a discussion board keeps you from seeing their posts on that board. The red numbers still show up.

Andersp:

Block User - This just blocks the user from sending private messages and seeing what they are doing online. No discussion board messages are hidden.

Hide - is for each board, and will hide the post from that user on that board only.

rod03801: LOL...sorry if you took it "personal"..  lets ask this way instead  Does block hide a members posts in the same way as hide does? 

Andersp: This board is not for personal conversations of this sort. Further off topic posts, will be deleted.

rod03801: If you werent a Glob mod should you see my posts then since you have me on block?

Bernice: Then you have someone hidden. Please, this is off topic.

Bernice: Happens to the best of us sometimes

I keep getting little red numbers and there isnt anything there :(

did someone say something?

isnt it strange.....the general feelings seems to be all the same.....I'm glad to see that people are starting to wake up.....

Thanks Floosie and Jim :)

Bernice: My take on the mod thing (global or the presumed sub human level that I occupied for a brief time) is that it requires unquestioned devotion to the fearless leader,if not,it falls apart like dominos

Hip-hip hurrah
Hip-hip hurrah
Hip-hip hurrah

ScarletRose: I will sort it out today or tomorrow, I am not in my office now.

redfrog: well at least a Black rook I would have thought HAHAHA

Jim Dandy:with great difficulty, as it seems "depends on who you are" ROFL

Fencer , that was sorted quickly, made for some funny results though

Bernice: granted,but how do you define being "looked after"?

Jim Dandy: hahaha....I reckon.... LOL

But it is the old story, if you dont look after staff they go elsewhere and for better pay as well HAHAHAHA

Bernice: I hope they didn't order new business cards recently

thanks for updating the staff list...........

coan.net: I guessed the same, glad i am not having a funny moment

Thought it may be something to do with these meteors

MadMonkey: Probable has something to do with the archiving - archived the data and the tournament tables pointed to the wrong place now.

Example, look at this Madmonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (6)

The final has just this second started, yet acording to the results a game has already finished, yet click on it and it has not even started

The section results are just loopy.

Is anyone else seeing odd things with Tournamet results tables ?
I was just looking at one, which show a 2 section Tournament.
Section 1 has finished, and the winner coloured yellow YET there are no results in the boxes.
Section 2 is still running, yet every result box has a space for 2 results (which is wrong as it is only a one game match), but the first result shows as unfnished and the second as a draw in EVERY game.
I have tried a couple of Tournaments and go the same basic problem.

I thought it may have been Firefox having a funny moment, so have tried IE and it is the same

Bernice: Same here. I use it to renew my membership(s) in sites I play in.

Jason: Yes I remember doing that a few years ago. So I don't understand why this time they paid Fencer by e-cheque.

Bernice: Yeeeessss! Purple would be a GREAT global mod. I believe he will be "the choosen one". Brainking criterias are strange enougth for that... lololol
