Pedro Martínez: don't know what you're talking about, but you're right. :0)

Rose: fine. just thought it would
be interesting for you guys.
later!

MindSpy

ΜīήďSрŷ: It might very well be but this isn't the board to discuss it on. By all means continue the conversation on General Chat. I think many people would be interested!

Rose: control freak. :0) okay, i'll do that. :0)

Brown checkers on black points? Isn't this a fundamental no-no? How do I change my display colors?

lynchpfc: Settings / Chess.

Fencer: I put myself on retirement in one of your stairs. I thought I was finished with my games. It didn't say I had another to play. Here comes this 2nd game with this guy. If I win this game will I get credit for it even though I am on retirement? I won the 1st one out of the 2 we are to play.
Another question.. How long can we be on retirement? I know I can't start back for 7 days. I just didn't want to start anymore before going on vacation. Thank you
BARB

Pbarb2: I'm almost positive that if you win it will still count and you will move up a step (or down a step if you lose) - just that it will not be shown to everyone else since you are on retirement.

Plus again almost positive that you can be on retirement forever (well as long as you stay a rook)

Pbarb2: BBW is right.

BIG BAD WOLF: What has baing a rook got to do with that? Retirement is for everyone, isn't it?

BIG BAD WOLF: Fencer: Thanks...I just wondered since that happened to me.

pauloaguia: Because a pawn is only allowed to be in 1 stair at a time, so if someones membership drops, they may be removed from some stairs to get them to the 1 stair limit.

BIG BAD WOLF: That doesn't happen. At least not now

pauloaguia: Well I believe that is what it is suppose to do, but it is quite possible Fencer has not had a chance to program that part of it yet.

All: For those who haven't noticed it yet: Check out the context menu - look for the small + just below the Statistics link.

Pedro Martínez: Show context menu (activated by a right-click)

Right click where?

BIG BAD WOLF: try right clicking on any part of the screen (but not in a text box)

Groucho: shows up clicking in text box too

Crissie: you're right. :) You can add things too. Like a favorite fs or db ;)

Groucho: Hum - not working for me. I may need to logout and log back in for it to take effect. (will go and try)

BIG BAD WOLF: Oh, nevermind - I know why it is not working - in Firefox I have my mouse buttons set to do different things. (Middle to open in new window.)

May go reset the right button to do this - could help me to have a quick way to view all discussion boards, already expanded.

BIG BAD WOLF: You have to click the '+', tick the 'show context menu' and click 'save and finish'.

Pedro Martínez: you can also find it in settings on the JavaScript tab

Pedro Martínez: Yea, I did that. Checked out the site with Internet Explorer and that feature worked.

Have the site open in the newest Firefox, and nothing - it's like my right button does not work on BrainKing.

Using the right button on other open tabs gives me the normal (Back, Reload, save...) But for some reason just brings up nothing while I'm using firefox.

BIG BAD WOLF: And as soon as I type that, I try it again and it is working now. Strange.

But cool - now with the URL of Board?bgrp=0, I can easly browse all discussion boards (already expanded)

BIG BAD WOLF: I disable this new "feature". I like to be able to open links in new windows and all the other things that I had before the change.

Walter Montego: Yea, I already had to stop for a second because I needed to open something in a new window (not a new tab which my middle mouse/wheel button does), but then I remembered in Firefox, if you hold down SHIFT and click, it will open in a new window. (CTRL and click will open in new tab). In Internet Explore, I think CTRL opens something in a new window.

BIG BAD WOLF: I use AOL's browswer. I've already given up on using those firewalls and things like Proxomotron with it.

People have seen me using the computer with a bunch of windows and wonder how I keep track. I have no problem and it's easier than reloading every page. I just need to be able to access them quickly and not hit the "close window" buttons on accident. Whatever change was made today on the pages is something I didn't like and didn't see any utility for. What exactly does it do? Is there a question and answer page for the changes? Does the Java page for this site have some instructions on it or a question and answer page?

After the change I went to the change link on the new right click. It sent me to the Java page where I found I could disable it. I also checked the drop down games box. I haven't noticed any change. What does that do?

daily I will click a link in here to open a new window and now I cant do that anymore. Anyway I can get that default back?

Rose: I said how to do it in the previous link.

Rose: Isn't that a browser setting?

Rose: You can disable the function (like Walter mentioned)

You can also open a link in a new window other ways depending on what browser you are using. For example, in Firefox, you can hold down SHIFT and click on a link to open it in a new windows. In IE, I believe you hold down CTRL and click on a link to open it in a new window.

Can someone please tell me how the 'link' button works.. right hand side of msg box. What does it do ? Having clicked on it, I'm not sure if I'm replying in a different way or what ?? :-D

Niki: The link button will just bring up that one message, and while doing that - you will be able to see what the URL/Link directly to the post is - which is usefull sometimes when you want others to go look at one post, without having them scroll though a lot of things. (Will not hurt anything if you click & try it)

BIG BAD WOLF: ooh, I get it .. obvious now you've explained it ofcourse !! Thankyou.. nice feature :0)

Groucho: Dang!! they're geniuses!! Whoo hoo

What is the new feature? I can't see anything any longer when right clicking. And I've lost the interactive smiley window also. Is it something which does not work with Firefox. The settings are still the same.

ok, I see it now in Internet Explorer, it must be something with my Firefox which isn't right

basplund: I had the same problem earlier - then after a few minutes of messing around, it started to work like it is suppose to - with no more problems.

ScarletRose:

I disabled the new feature since my right click wasn't working anymore, and now I've lost the smileys. I'm using firefox too.

New feature works fine for me (On Firefox )
Only thing is, I seem to have lost copy paste from right clik. I use that a lot so had to disable the new feature

WebTV / MsnTV users, I highly recommend you go to your Settings, and go to the Javascript page and disable everything you see there. It's not compatible with us, and is causing pages to load way slower than they were.

(Actually, I'm not sure if EVERYthing needs to be unchecked.. I haven't had time to test each one..)

I came here today and was very surprised at how slowly almost every page was loading.
I unchecked all that new stuff, and now things are loading "normally".

The new feature did not work for me and the interactive smiley window stopped working. So I turned off the new feature. Unfortunately the smileys are still broken :(

Are you all talking about?

Alanback, it doesn't work for me anyways, so I can't tell you much. But you might get a better idea if you go to Settings, and then to Javascript.

alanback: they are talking about the little plus sign on the column on the left (on my computer anyways) under 'Statistics'
My right click doesn't work anymore, but my smileys still do, so I'm not messing with anything else!

baddessi:

Look on the Java Script bit on settings, if you make sure the little box by

'Show context menu (activated by a right-click)'

is blank, your right click will work again!

Nirvana: Thanks!

If the smiley window stopped working for you, try to reload this page by crtl-f5. The script was slightly changed and it is possible that the old version is still being loaded from your browser's cache.
