crosseyed: Just curious if you tried one of the suggestions that others have said worked?

(try using brainking.cz) Others have said it worked better for them.

Of course the site will show up in Czech, so you would then have to click on the English flag over on the right side of the screen, and then click the confirmation button that you want to change languages.

rod03801: You have a good idea !

rod03801: Whoohoooo,,, I'm rockin' now. Changed over to brainking.cz

rod03801: Thanks but there is no need to now as the site is fast today. My friend is now back and able to play his games as normal.

Anyone still observes differences between brainking.com and brainking.cz average response time?

Fencer:
No underlying differences accessing brainking.com or brainking.cz or other BrainKing domains.

BrainKing.com: http://h-t.co/e5nk
BrainKing.cz: http://h-t.co/e5nv

Fencer: For me yesterday was very sluggish, today it's back to regular speed (=fast).

Fencer: brainking.com is definately faster now.. faster than the responses from the cz host tracker results.

Fencer: Brainking.com works great for me now thank you.

There is always something to learn.
If you want to build a multilayer system, never use Cherokee web server as a front gateway. Especially not on a 64 bit environment.

Luckily, there are always alternative solutions.

Fencer: Aye... I reloaded my PC in February as the way the system had been installed was slowing the cores. Much faster now and allows me to overclock ... So much of what software was put in the build was duplicating itself in other software.

Just had to look up the motherboard drivers on the ECS web site

Fencer: No.

Has anyone found a problem with quicktime plugin (7.6.9.0) crashing re the poker tables through Firefox 4?

(V): Yes, it happens to me too. I will replace it with some Flash sound player later.

Fencer: No.. prob. others browsers work.. just I like Firefox

My first to play game says I've 21 hours left, but tommorrow is one of my fixed weekend days. As it times out, would that cost vacation hours?

no, it will just count down to 0 minutes and then add another hour to timer. your vacation hours will start counting down because of this game since monday midnight.

thank-you Fencer, bk.com works damn fine

Can someone tell me how to create a discussion board ?

Mélusine: Go to your fellowship and click “Create” where it says “Add a board”.

Pedro Martínez: Thanks but it's not my question, because I know how to do in my f/s. I didn't explain very well, sorry !
I'm speaking about a general discussion board for everybody, as we have some, like the board for birthdays, or the board for politics, or the board for animals, etc...

Mélusine: for that you will have to ask Fencer...he is the only one to allow/do that.

Bernice: Ok, thanks. Is it a right reserved to black rooks ?

Mélusine: I dont think so, but ask him.

Bernice: I will but I've noticed that there's always a mod who is a black rook. So, I've few hope !

Yea, only Fencer can create new site-wide boards - usually when a topic is warranted or enough interest on a subject.

coan.net: Ok. Thanks for your answer.

Why not a discussion board for new members? Isn't it beneficial for the site?

Deb4858: That could help people who discover the site but I think a link would be necessary at the end of the registration of the member, because, me, when I came to Brainking for the 1st time, I didn't pay attention to these boards, I was more interesting by the games.

Deb4858: General Chat and Members Only already exist

Happy weekend Fencer

If the 'Move and Goto' actions are still a problem i have another suggestion (as i do lol)

I have been using the 'Game Filter' on the main page, though it is not as useful as the 'Move and Goto' selections, to find all my Team Tournament games (by searching all Team Tournaments, and just selecting those game types to play first).

So, how about adding a third selection box to the filter ?

We have 'Opponent' & 'Game Type', so how about 'Group Selection' (first thing that came to mind lol) where there could be:

Non-paying member games
Team match games
No vacation games
Friend list games
Online opponents games
Offline opponents games
Stairs games
Fischer's Clock games

Those would be the Main ones i think, but you miss out on things like 'Similar type games' but that could be added, and if selected open and extra drop box to select All Lines games, All Chess games, All Checkers games etc.... and the same with Tournament selection.

Just another idea from my mad world

(p.s. this is not a Feature request, its an Observation note lol)

MadMonkey: Decent idea, if the Move and Go To, aren't going to work again. (The ones that still aren't)
However, your idea would be even better, and a great compromise, IF the page would stay filtered until you tell it not to.
Right now, if you filter it to show all backgammon games, for example, if you make a move and come back to the main page, it is unfiltered, and you have to refilter it.

And even nicer if "Move and Go To Next game" took you to the next game from that filtered page. (Then no need to go back to main page)

Of course, the only one I'm really missing right now is Move and Go To Next game with non-paying member. Other than that I generally just go in order anyway.

rod03801: Agreed...... I was just trying to think of something to make it easier for Fencer to sort out.

I miss the Move and Goto Team Match, No Vacation and non-paying member as you say

rod03801: Yes, when you say : " ......if you make a move and come back to the main page, it is unfiltered, and you have to refilter it...... ", I totally agree, because when I play games as Battleboats, I like to stay on the same game after doing my move so as to see if I've shooted a boat, and everytime, I have to refilter, and this irritates me !

Mélusine: the "go to the next game of this type" seems to work well.

Bwild: Yes, it works but I said that I didn't do this because I wanted to stay on the same page so as to see the result of my move.
Mmhh, I'm not sure to explain very well what I mean.

Mélusine: After you make a move on a boat game, and you want to see if you hit a target your move setting should be "Move " and "stay here" but after you view the board you still have to select another game from your game list, but my filter for this function works fine.

Marshmud: How about the option "go to the next game of this type" (or something like that) that appears on top of the board (with a direct link to the next game)

El Cid: Yes that will work and take you to the next game of whatever you are currently playing, but what Mel wants is to view the boat game as soon as she submits the move and if you want to view the game immediately you must select "Move and stay here" if you want a direct link

Marshmud: Yes, I do " Move " and " stay here " as you say, but when I come back on the main page after that, my filter has disappeared. I'd like to see it again.
So, I totally agree with Rod who said : " ..... IF the page would stay filtered until you tell it not to. "
The filter disappears when you choose : " Move and stay here ". What a pity !

Mélusine: So you can not use the link "Set this action as default" after you choose what type of move you want to make?

Marshmud: I don't see where is this link !?

Mélusine:
When submitting your move in any game, you can

“Jouer et (rester ici)
Fixer cette action comme défaut”

Pedro Martínez: Ah yes, thank you !

Marshmud: I can use it but if I do, my filter disappears on the main page.

It does not work recently. Where have all the flags gone?

fukuhara: They're visible only in mode "castle"
In other modes you can change easily by modifying the "/en/" in the current page link to your favourite language code. It sticks when you then click on things.

Change of subject.....lol

I want to set a fast Fischer's clock Tournament up. Now i do not think i have ever set one of these in all my years here lol

I want to start this in 2 days, and want the first few moves played as quick as possible (without getting silly lol)

After a week or so i do not care how long it goes on for (within reason)....i bet you are all thinking What an odd Tournament, Monkey has finally lost it lol

Anyway, anyone any ideas (or advice) as to a time set up ? (Time: Bonus: Limit: )

MadMonkey: If you want really quick FC tournament from the start, you should set starting time to say, 2 days or so. It depends on time bonus per move.

lukulus: OK thanks for your input...i will set it and see what happens. It is only for people to get some practice (probably set as unrated anyway)
