Christine, it also depends on what days you chose as your week-end days..

THIS may be a bit long, BUT may also be beneficial..
Now THIS, I do believe, is a good subject to kick around a little.. :-))
Hi Fencer.. I have been wondering the same thing for quite sometime.. I know I would very much like to be able to go to the next opponent (when I submit my "Move and go to next game") that I have the "least" amount of time left on, before I time-out.. It is a (BIG) hasle to have to return BACK to the main page and "manually" click on my next opponent in line "time-wise".. If I have 20 games, then that's not only 20 extra click-ons, but extra scrolling (at least I have to) as well and this all takes up a lot of extra time to do..
So yes Fencer, I have to agree to what "kygal" is getting at.. Is there something you could implement on either the games that could give us an option for what games we wish to play next..
OR, set a choice in our "settings";
-like the way you have it set now (still can't figure this one out) or..
-according to least time left to play (like GT or IYT) or..
-opponent's nic in alphabetical order or..
-type of game you're playing (maybe in ABC order as well) or..
-etc, etc, etc...
I think this would be of interest to everyone that plays here. ESPECIALLY "paid members" that have a lot more than just 20 games like myself.. I can't EVEN imagine having 100 games or more and have to go through an EXTRA 100 or more click-ons and scrolls just to get to your next opponent with the "least" amount of time left..
....and ahhhhh btw, where's my sabotage..? :-(( lol..

On your main page, it calculates the time remaining using days off, vacations, site holidays, etc. So a 5 day limit will be affected by the 2 days off, making it 7.

It doesn't matter what day it is started, it just matters what day it is, and what days your opponent has chosen for days off.

If I invite any user to a game of chess with a time limit of 5 days, it automaticly becomes 7 days. Is that because of the weekend days? Can anyone tell me how that is calculated. And is there a difference if you start a game lets say on Monday or on Wednesday?

Thanks Harley!

I should think the match will end on what the scores are now. If you have 1 point each then the whole thing would end a draw.
If there has been a game or two completed in the match then yes, it would affect ratings.

Thanks Harley and Blaze - what I meant if you have already started one or two games, will it effect either player's rating if you then delete the following games when they come up? Sorry, I wasn't very clear. ;)

No, I think you're right Blaze, you'd have to resign individually, Angus. But if you resign then you'd lose overall, can you delete the game instead? Then it would have no effect of your rating. Other than that, if its a 5 match game, when you have resigned each one, it will be counted as one loss for you. Thats my understanding of it anyway.

Angus, I think you have to resign each individual game in the match separately. When you resign the first game in the match, the next game will appear on your status page. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong here. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question?

Blaze

What are the consequences of resigning multiple game matches as the new games begin? I mean after you have started the match already.

Fencer,where it says...You can also set additional conditions to fit your reguirements of opponents. Would it help to have a separate continue button under there instead of having to click on the continue button for use this form to create a new game with non-specified opponents name. Sound a little silly to click there after I just specified and the form does say, where it can be picked by any player...

thanks. it worked.

This is the last not-fixed-yet bug which I keep in my mind [and buglist]. I'll try to do some tests to find out what is wrong.

I put a game in the waiting room with a rating limit and people are accepting with a higher rating... How do I do this??? I know this has been asked before, couldn't find it. This should be in FAQ..

Ditto. :)

Click the My Profile link on the left of the page.

Click the Edit link.

There you will see a dropdown menu for "Select your Country".

Select your country, then click Submit.

Hopefully that should give you a flag.

Blaze

ouspensky: let me know your country & i will try to sort if for you :-)
(with Fencers help of course lol)

i didn't get a flag. does anyone know how to get one? thanks.

kygal: No, the column to order by has nothing to do with "Move and next game" action.

OMG who put a woman in charge ( only joking harley xxx )

On the main page, over our game list, where we can click on like opponents and it brings up your opponents in A-B-C order.. or click on game and they would would appear in A-B-C order and clicking on something else there at the top would put them in some kind of order as well, right? NOW, when this was first set-up, by clicking on one of these, wasn't this suppose to reflect what game would be played next when you clicked "move and go to next game" after playing your turn on a game?

Thanks everyone.. hopefully now we'll have a nice pleasant place to chat about our favourite site again :o)

Finally we are back to a normal DB again... Its about time too... I was tired of reading all the trashy (flame filled) posts... Keep up the great job Michelle!! :-)

i think Fencer had another good idea. Good Luck Harley.

All the best to you PMP and come back to us soon.
Here's to hoping Harley can sit back and do nothing,if we do it right...Good luck to ya :D
Catch ya all on the GC LOL

Harley sitting quietly and just listening? I think I'm gonna faint! :D

LOL, thanks but I wont be deleting anything posted before today! I'm hoping it wont be necessary for me to delete anything at all. I'll just sit quietly in the background and only pounce if someone gets too out of hand! LOL!
Sorry jon, I'm all out of favours!! But if you want to chat about the structure, features and future of BK I'll be very happy!! :oD

Harley, then delete away, with abandon! Good hunting and have fun.

We couldn't ask fr a better mod. Now... what sorts of favours can you get us???

Thanks jondownie, hope everyone else is too :o)

Shortphuse, just this board!

It will be great to see some normality return to this board. Best of luck Harley :)

Will you be moderating the General Chat board and other boards too, or just this one?

Linda aka Blaze

That is fine by me Harley.

Thanks for the welcomes :o)
TTJazz, we've all seen you apologise and offer the hand of friendship, and others do the same. If you want to carry it on I would kindly ask you do it at the general chat board, I WILL delete insults and non-appropriate posts. However, I dont want to delete anything unless its absolutely necessary. Guess that answers Tony's question too :o)
jondownie, this morning, because Fencer has his hands full without reading hundreds of posts that have absolutely nothing to do with anything!

did Harley beocme admin?

Welcome!!

She can delete them.

Does that mean that Harley can transfer away messages onto the General Chat DB (or perhaps into a Rubbish Bin GB)?

Niki, this IS an attempt to get over it. Myself and a few others openly apologised and express a desire to return to civilty, which among ourselves we have...to me thats getting over it. Harley, I was hoping we would ALL make ammends and get this board to how it used to be. I was just hoping the holdout would join in with us and do just that, sorry if it was taken the wrong way. I'll stop on the subject now on this board, again sorry.

happily subordinating to your mercy ... :)

I'm to be whipped like creme ... only cracking-up hazard as sideline ... ;) ...~*~

:o( come on you two, dont make me crack the whip on my first day as moderator eh?!

<seems to be urgent ... I'm comfortable though ... :) ... ~*~
><(((°>

TTJ .. for goodness sake.. stop biting.. let it go ! for everyone's sake.. please !

Re: Danos..still the insults, so I was wrong, oh well. The majority turn out civil and have class, thats what counts...have a great day all:)

good idea ... :) ... likely going to chill the Dance Of Applicants ... :Þ ... ~*~

Harley is the new moderator of this discussion board. I am glad that she can help me because I have absolutely no time to moderate the current status here ;-)

Looks like I've finally fixed the problem with blank page instead of a list of on-line players. Please let me know immediately if the error occurs again.

No prob CleverHunk, apology accepted as I hope mine was. Nighthawk, Dmitri and myself all posted similar regrets and apologies in a genuine attempt to get over it, make ammends and show a little class and decency after a heated exchange. I ask again, perhaps Danos will swallow a little pride and follow suit if getting over it is on his agenda as well? I leave it in your court.

I owe TTjazzberry,danochek & blaznshore an apology for name calling,it's not my style.I'm sorry.at the time I had for the 2nd time..spent a lot of time reading the the "recent new 60" or so posts..only to find it wasted my time,I learned nothing.I'm usually very even tempered,but this pissed me off..ok,enough said.

My prayers will be with you Patty.

I hope everything goes well for you and good luck to you! I hope and pray everything will turn out ok for you Patty!!!!!!!!!
