Subiectul: Re: Missing message "Bug"

plaintiger: Is this in anyway related to the bug of having your reply to accepting a game invitation not appear in the message or show to the person you wrote it for?
Because of this bug, I have stopped writing a reply when I accept a game and wait until my second move or after my opponent's message stays on the page.

Fencer, it'd be nice if all the messages pertaining to a game would appear.

Subiectul: Re: Missing message "Bug"

Walter Montego: i second that - though as far as i can tell, the messages do show up for the person you wrote them for - at least sometimes - because i'll say something when accepting a game, then go to the game to make my first move and find a message from my opponent saying, for example, "ain't that the truth?"...to which i, of course, have to reply with, "um...ain't what the truth?" and by the time my opponent makes their next move, they don't remember either...

it is really annoying. i agree that all messages pertaining to a game, from the sending of the invitation on, should appear in the chat history. thanks...

Subiectul: Re: Missing message "Bug"

plaintiger: To expand upon that suggestion, when I am playing a multiple game match, it can be disconcerting to have the message box cleared after each game. I would like to see the message box contain all the messages sent during the match, not just the current game.

MagicDragon: You have a few options, you can either:

pay as a rook, and the remaining knight days will be transfered to your rook membership (so you'll have over 6 months rook membership)

Stay as a knight until it runs out then the rook will begin or

ask Fencer how much it would be to upgrade to rook and he'll give you an exact figure to pay.

Modificat de ellieoop (23. Octombrie 2005, 18:59:17)

with the hurricane hitting us late tonight into tomorrow, we probably will lose power, so how does the auto vacation work, should i take vacation days and if i don't take enough will that kick in for a few days or just one day, and should i not take vacation days and just rely on auto vacation.
now that i wrote all this i'm wondering if it explains it good under vacations, just in case, i'll leave this, and g/l to all of us in it's path.

just as the requestor should receive notice if when their request to join a fellowship is denied, so the invitor should receive notice if their invitation to join a fellowship, play a game, or accept a draw is declined. if the invitor is not notified in these cases, it winds up appearing that their invitation has simply been ignored, which can cause tensions between people - because it can look like rudeness on the part of the person declining the invitation. thanks...

playBunny

Subiectul: Re: Fellowship invitations

plaintiger: That's an interesting one. I've had piles of fellowship invitations that I didn't want and that said nothing in the message to me, leading me to wonder why I've been invited. I think those messages are somewhat rude in their lack. Some I delete immediately with no response (they hardly deserve it, after all). Others are still pending, even from months ago, just in case I ever decide to join the fellowship. It saves me having to apply. So I am ignoring those ones, but it's because of potential usefulness rather than rudeness. Perhaps there should be a third option: "Take a raincheck"?

is there a FAQ i'm not seeing for how to add a photo to one's profile? if there's information posted in some regular place on how to add photos to profiles and fellowships, it needs to be more obvious, because i've done it several times and every time i do it i have to ask people what the required image sizes are and, as i need to know now, where to send the images once they're resized.

this information should be available in one easily- and logically-found location, shouldn't it?

is it?

thanks...

nobleheart: quite so. i should have thought of that, being a digital photographer. a lot of people call digital captures "images" instead of "photographs," and the activity "digital imaging" or "digital capture" instead of "photography." don't know why...Webster's dictionary defines photography as, "the art or process of producing images on a sensitized surface (as a film) by the action of radiant energy and especially light," and that applies to digital...

but i digress.
