Have the action points been turned off for any reason, because mine arent registering

gogul: No. Everyone has a choice of paying 2 Euro for the cheapest membership level and get rid of all obtrusive advertising.

Fencer: The people without choice of an other browser dont..

KotDB: But you know the answer.

emmett: I have a hard time believing that the increasingly obtrusive advertising is for my own good.

BerniceC: Upps, had forgotten that there exists an extra board for Feature Requests, sorry!
Fencer: Thank you!

I've got to say that I didn't like the coercive approach to suggesting that BrainKing users use Firefox. My immediate reaction was abrasive.

I've been using Firefox for two days now, just for BrainKing. It's like Fencer is a sort of father-figure here - You might not like what he has to say sometimes, but it's for your own good!

Firefox is very good.

emmett: yep, same with Opera and most browsers these days.

If you are like me, you don't know enough about computers. You've been hearing a lot of talk about BrainKing and Firefox vs. Internet Explorer. You have Internet Explorer and aren't interested in downloading something to replace it.

I downloaded Firefox tonight, and it works quite well.

For those of you who don't know:
- Firefox is free to download.
- You can have both Explorer and Firefox on your computer. You don't have to replace the Internet Explorer that you are used to. You can use both.
- Downloading is easy. Go to google. Type in Firefox download. You will get options like Mozilla Firefox free download. Just download it. It won't hurt.
- You can always get rid of it if you don't like it.

BerniceC: hi, i guess this is in response to a private message i sent to you .. i would have preferred it to be replied to in a privare message as well .. i see i have several new messages which i will read after this.

the point i in the private message was that cryingloser asked a question which was related to brainking.com .. you were right though that it would have been better at the feature request board .. but just because i dont try to over-moderate i allow a single post like this .. especially when its replied by fencer already .. so that should finish that conversation already

you then posted your comment .. which i asked you to do in a private message to the moderator .. as its the moderators task to redirect posts if needed

please take this into private messages with me as it doesnt belong on this board

if you want to continue this on a public board or in a fellowship, thats ok with me as well, but please send me a private message where that will be :)

any continuation of this topic should be done via private messages to me (or another moderate if you dont want to send it to me) .. any continuation of this on this board will be deleted .. sorry

I would apologise for being off topic????

but was I???

confused here.....

what is off topic and who determines it....
a few posts down I was pulled up in a joking? fashion by the "King himself"...
BerniceC: Say anything you like. But don't be off-topic.
Now im being castigated for not going to a mod about Fencer and his remarks, it isnt any wonder that the boards are dying.....from over moderation

oops...sorry but had to have my say.....sheeeeeeeeeesh

Fencer: ummmmmm....being facetious here but isnt this a bit off topic???

Features?? Isnt there a board for that?

CryingLoser: Yes, it's not a bad idea. The change date is kept at the game model, so it just has to be visualized.

Fencer: Since when we play a game we don't read every time the rules, and sometimes appear surprising rules-changes that we recognize in the middle of a match (last example: Hasami Shogi). So it would be nice if under the name of the game you put the date of the last rule change, and if this date is less than 4 weeks it should be given in red font,so that we are warned that a game has still the same name but not the same rules.
Or, as alternative, every time the rules are changed the name of the game should be changed also, in the example above "Hasami Shogi" in "Hasami Shogi Modern", and the old game can either continue with the old rules or if it is no longer interesting can be removed.

Fencer: WooooooHooooooo Super thanks bunches something I've really been wishing for 

WellyWales: put a tick in the box and scroll down to the bottom of the page ;)

edit , must type faster lol

WellyWales: OK! I can see it at the bottom of the page

Fencer: How? I have made New folders, but cannot see how you can move them

WellyWales: Of course you can.

Can you send existing notes to a new folder??

Jason: I am glad it's not useful only for me.

Fencer: on the Notepad

BerniceC: In the Settings - Java Script page there is 3 radio buttons just under the Autosave Interval box. I used to have those smilies all over me too until I clicked On Mouse Click. Try that and see if it helps although like Fencer said "IE"

BerniceC: Well lets hope he doesn't have a heart attack from the shock of someone agreeing with him! I have used Firefox for years. Can't stand IE.

redfrog: I never said i wanted to get technical. Just mentioned that someody had solved it in the first row, whether it was luck or not, the code was still solved.

BerniceC: Say anything you like. But don't be off-topic.

Fencer: ahhhhhh.....I should have already known the answer....why dont it surprise me....But as I said below....you are too young for a heart attack so will say nothing against F---Fox

BerniceC: Because you are using Internet Explorer 7. That's the source of all problems.

why is it when i reply to someone using the "box" feature....my cursor come at the start of their name....i have to double or treble click to get my cursor after their name and in the meantime i have to combat a page full of smilies???
am i not getting settings right or what?

in this game of grasshopper
Grasshopper (Gammonator vs. "Snoopy")
we both know its a draw but is there a certain amount of passes you have to make or do both players have to agree to the draw?

redfrog: it would be 100% pure luck!!!!!

Oceans Apart: well - if you want to get technical - you cant really solve it on the first row - but you sure can happen to guess right!!!

WellyWales: Yes i have played a game where my opponent ha solved it in the first row, i will see if i can find it for you.

WellyWales: All records are kept in some form. But there is no human readable version of it.

Are any records kept of the highest score achieved in the dice poker games or if any one has got logik in one row.

I wish games that has run out of vacation days would just time out and not keep getting another 24 hours

TarantinoFan: it is part of the site LOLOL....when it dont work it is unused and worthless...but there are those that like it like that.....and whatever ya do ...DONT...say that firefox dont load things proper...Fencer is too young for a heart attack LOL....

"Snoopy": Ok so I guess I just turn off the action points then. Why are action points still active if they are unused and worthless?

TarantinoFan:
action points dosnt gave out prizes anymore
it hasnt since the end of October

emmett:

Ah so others are having the same trouble as me! Was having a blonde day and had to click the stupid things about 5 times before I realized that they were connected to each other. I have the silly banners shoved at the bottom of the page but I am still trying to decide whether to chase action points or have faster loads on pages. I know by collecting action points I am attempting to win a prize but what that prize is I don't know. Is it some free membership or just another free game like the one I got for paying in the first place?

search me. I tried it for a while, but decided that looking at ads was too high a price.

rabbitoid: well... ehm... What use are action points anyway? LOL.

joshi tm: and what use are action points to a black rook anyway?

Why you have to turn ads on in order to use action points?

AbigailII: Yes, it would be nice if paid members didn't have to see them at Brainking.info as well as BrainKing.com. To Fencer, they might be quite different sites, but I'm sure most users don't thing of them as different at all.

Thad: I noticed the same thing.

I have noticed that BrainKing has been going down for short periods of time a lot lately. Tonight, I noticed that when it came back online, today's new blog message was at the top of my Main Page. Is there a connection?

It's nice that paid members can turn off banner ads. But I find it very annoying that when I go to brainking.info I get a screen sized popup. :(

Far be it for me to comment as a currently non-paying member, but what's with the soft-core porn banner ads at the top of the page inviting me to the best model sites?
