The only problem I have noticed that I have had the past week is when I click on go to next game and it takes me to a blank page. It doesn't do it all the time but I am on webtv and I figure that is what it is. Other than that, that's about it.

Fencer, I'm having problems seeing my Best RAting positions on the right side of the screen. The checker board design seems to camaflouge it. This may only be a problem because I am on webtv. If it is then I'll learn to adjust. If not then maybe you could change the color to maybe red or something.

I really don't see what it hurts or who it hurts that it was added. I Do NOT see it as a waste.....whether it be a waste of time or a waste of space. From reading the post sounds like Alley Oop is the only one who doesn't care much for it. My advice if you don't like it....don't click on it. Simple as that. I think most have their reasons why they like or dislike it. And probably the reason they like or dislike it are mostly all different. I'm on webtv and it makes things simpler for me. I myself like one click at my finger tips instead of two without waiting for the pages to load each time.

Thanks for adding the on-line opponents Fencer! That makes things so much simpler! :-)

I think this is a good idea! I had suggested quick games for the times when there is no one on your player list that is on-line at that moment. It would pass the time til one of your on-line opponents are on-line and you could could invite someone that is "On-line" at that moment. I give it a thumbs up!

Hey Gamester! That is a cool idea! :)

I think that would be a fair amount of time.

I agree....but it would also need a timer on the moves so that someone could not hold the game up for too long in order to win a game. LOL As far as for how long per move.....I have no idea. LOL Any suggestions? :)

Oh wow! Thanks MadMonkey! I'm glad you liked the idea. I know there will be some kinks to work out but I think it would be a plus for the paying members. And I know what you mean about being on for so long! Isn't it just addictive! LOL :)

Might be silly but Fencer, have you ever thought of having 10 minute games? What I mean is....for those whose on-line friends that aren't on to play with at that moment. The people (members) that are on the site at that moment could post 10 minute games and have their exp. date as maybe 10 minutes or so. Then if someone was on-line that they wanted to play with, but not start a new game, could play for 10 minutes. You could maybe have the winner as the person who placed the most pieces and could only offer it to the "Members" as a plus for their membership. As smart as you are, you could put a timer on the game page and the person whose turn it was would have so many seconds to make a play. If they didn't then they forfeited their turn or something. The BKR's wouldn't have to count for these games since they would be set on a timer. It would be just for fun for the members who have to wait for someone to play against.

Oh my gosh! How cool! That is really going to be a handy tool for me (as well as others) when I'm wanting to look at other pages. How awesome!

Fencer
Oh wow! That would be GREAT! :) It would sure make it alot easier to know when your turn to play is up! :)

Is there anyway you could possibly make a number or something somewhere on all the pages that shows that it is your turn in a game? Sometimes I get caught up in reading or looking and don't realize that it is my turn until I go back to the main page. Or would this be too much? Just a thought.

No Problem! I love searching for stuff on the net. If it's on the net I can usually find it. LOL

Hope they help some.

Is this site just for adults? Is there a kids version or their own safe site hiding somewhere? I deal with kids everyday and most of them talk about getting on the net and playing games. The only reason I ask is because my children asked to play and I felt somewhat uneasy because of the fact that you could talk to different ones and with kids they might give out their email addy or some other information. If you don't have anything like this for the kids, have you ever thought about it? They could always have the games part without the message system. They could even have the same options to join with parents permission. Or would this be too confusing? Just a thought.

Oh wow! I really didn't think you'd take me seriously! I'm glad you did and I'm sure there are
others that will be glad also. You might also think of showing a sample page of what us "non-members" are missing. I'd love to see what you've done! ;-) Pictures speak a thousand words. LOL

Just a suggestion but you might be able to use a drop down box or something like it. It wouldn't take up hardly any space on a page. You could even add extras for those that are members and have more than 20 games. It still would give you plenty of space on the page. This way, instead of hitting "next game" you would hit the drop down box to choose which game you would like to play next. Does this make sense? Not too good at explaining things and you may not be able to use it but I did want to suggest it.

Do you have a way to send a message to more than one person @ one time? The reason I am asking is because alot of times I am talking with someone on different games and I hate to be rude and just click off the net without telling them I'm signing off for the day or night.

Oh GREAT! I just love this site more and more every day! LOL

I love the game Halma or some might call it chinese checkers. It's one of my favorites and I'm pretty good at it sometimes. Would love to see this game here.
