Sometimes I wish we could have a twin site for BK - without all the bells and whistles, just a site where you play the games. It seems that every time improvements are made, it takes the site several days, at minimum, to recover. For the last week, again, it's been so slow - the pages load in pieces, it takes forever to connect and again there are the darn white pages - "Try again later"...... Of course there will be times when there will be some problems - but this is getting so frustrating. Oh, I know, I'm not supposed to say anything about it anymore, but sorry, I consider it my right as a paying member to bring this up... again...... especially since plenty of other players are experiencing the same thing..... again....
Binabik: I agree, I found since christmas that this site has been painful to attempt to play on it. It takes forever to make a move, it has become a chore for me more then a fun place to come and play. I know we aren't supposed to complain about the speed, but I agree maybe alot of these extras we seem to be getting are really not need, after all its supposed to be a game site, hopefully the speed improves in 2008
Binabik: yea, that has been my request (along with many others) - that is just to have a very striped down version of the pages - with just the information needed (like game, game stats needed to play game, and that is about all. (along with a link to the "full" in case you want to know what your BKR change will be, what tournament it is in, etc.....) (I wrote in detail once what should and should not show up on the page somewhere.)
I'm not having issues right now, but that still does not mean I would not like to see this request. This is first a game site - so a page that has a way to play the game without all the extra "fluff" would be a great addition to this site.... not to mention hopefully speeding up site speed for players.
coan.net: I havent been having any problems either - so again it seems odd that we automatically assume is a BK issue when not everyone is experiencing trouble - but i do have to agree that a simplified version of the site would be a nice addition to the growing list of cool features on this site... and btw - im happy to see people using this board to voice concerns without rudeness - and for the most part without sarcasm!! How refreshing....
redfrog: Well if it is a problem somewhere between BK and user, it makes sense that a page with less information will take less time to transmit then a larger page with more information. (yea, normally with good connection you are talking about fractions of a second worth of extra data - but when there is a slow connection, you could be talking seconds per page saved - which when you have to load many pages right after one another, that can add up to a lot of saved time... and in turn, will give the users even a better illusion that the site is running faster.)
Andersp: comcast works pretty good , in the phila area,Bk has its problems as you know, but not that bad in my opinion, even using wifi earthlink in philly, BK still works ok, not perfect mind you, but ok by me
Ogun: Im using Comcast in Philly area and it works ok, of course it slows down when 6 people are on line at the same time and 4 are downloading :) But when everything is "flying" and BK barely moves than it must be BK even if Fencer never should admit it :)
I hope Redfrog can give us a hint of which provider he is using
Andersp: I use Qwest (local phone company) DSL through the wireless on my laptop - i have heard others using wireless connections dont seem to have the issues that are so common here... im no where near the technical genius required to determine how that could impact anything - but maybe it does...
