Marfitalu: I think I saw something at features requests, want to try that one?

Marfitalu: what is the board?

Marfitalu: Oh I understand that. Just I think a privacy option is a differnt kind of option, why should pay members be able to see non-pay membbers, if non-pay members can't see pay members? Or do you think that's ok? I really like this site and tell friends about it, but if this is how privacy stuff is handled, I don't know...

<I don't understand why it isn't given to everyone on the gamesite????

>that would make it even, don't you think?

if people wanted to hide what they was doing they could easily do it without the cloak thing , all you need to do is open more than one web browser and it will only count the last click ,not the other pages you are looking at ,
people should not feel pressured to take there cloak off by the few that are moaning . wether they like the cloak or not its upto the individual .

I agree with Walter, the new cloak thing is a bad idea because it only allows a chosen few their privacy and pawns have no choice whatssoever. Also, it makes the cloaked person look like they're trying to hide something.

will it get sent back to normal? or will a pond that say is on a 1 day time limit continue on with its current time limit o fsay 5 days. or will you immediately set it back to normal?

Anyway, I'll let the time suspended, at least for a day or two. Because the negative time left values can happen again.

Fencer: I got ponds!!!!! THANKS

Fencer: Liquid

I don't want to be a false prophet ... but if nothing goes wrong, the recent site problems have been fixed.

JamesHird: thank you
any others that are reputable?

wayney: I like xe.com
Univeral Currency Convertor

what is the best currency conversion site in peoples opinion. most trusted?

Fencer: Very much looking forward to that; you have a crowd of junkies out in the World!

tonyh: When everything is fixed. Later today, hopefully.

Please, when may we have our Ponds back?

Tuesday: I guess you figured it out..no pay pal is another option. I never used MB..pay pal was just real easy for me.

Tuesday: I sent money to Eriisa through pay pal once. She got the money right away!
And you betcha there is nothing like a Texas Party- especially when it's such great Texas Women!! Yeehaw!!!!!

Tuesday: Oh and I would have jumped at that- I would have loved an excuse to head up to the Dallas area and take Eriisa out to lunch!!!
Texas Toest is up that way too- we could have had a party!!!!

He's been banned long enough for his offense, hasn't he?

Tuesday: LOL, I'll check the mailbox again in the morning.

You guys bring up a good point. I kinda liked the cloak mode, because people would question where I was going or who I was talking to, and I didn't feel it was their business. But if people are offended by it or don't like it because they can't see if I'm moving my games with them, then I can understand that. I'll remove mine.

Walter Montego: I agree with you Walter..i dont care what "monkey business" people have but its nice to know if someone is "shooting back" moves in a game with me, especially if i am ready to log off :)

Pedro Martínez: You know, that's not a bad idea. The thing is, I really don't care if I know what others are doing. I wish this cloak mode option would have never came into being in the first place. I do like the suggested feature of someone that's using the cloak mode being unable to see what us uncloaked people are doing. I would also like to be able to shut off where people are located on the discussion boards. I like being able to see where someone is while I'm viewing a game I have with them, but I'd just a soon not see it while viewing the discussion boards and it slows the loading of my pages too.
My feature request will be to get rid of this cloak mode.

tazman7474:

Pedro Martínez: That's just childish.

I would like to let everybody know that I am putting everyone who uses the cloak mode on my enemies list. If you don't want me to see what you're doing, you won't see me at all.

Dolittle: as long as it isn't just my imagination! lol

tazman7474: I am having the same problems.
It started last night.

is anyone having problems with the battleboats plus? i try to select a shot and the board disappears. i get a message to choose another piece, when i click on it the board comes back. but without the shot i picked before!

Phew, I thought I had been in a coma, or something. :)

BuilderQ: Nice work around! I like it :)

BIG BAD WOLF: When the problems are fixed, I'll do a global time correction. Hopefully.

rabbitoid: From time to time, database servers do what they want, not what I want :-) Moreover, one network card is probably damaged.

is 1 January 1970, which is traditionally day 0 on all unix based systems. Fencer! you're caught! you're not using windows. good boy...

When the ponds are "turned back on", may I request that 24/48/72 ... hours are added to each pond rather then just letting ALL the ponds go to the next round at the same exact time.

This will help in a couple ways.

1) The server will not have 400+ ponds going to the next round at the same time.

2) Someone who has a lot of ponds will not have the same time-out time on almost all their ponds.

-12915 days 23 hours uh...interesting to have that much time left to move a game lol
j/k...I know it's a glitch

Marfitalu: thankyou Mar

would someone please explain what it means if under the time left where the days are, it has -12915 days 21 hours in red?? I have never seen that before. thanks

Good job Liquid

Only downside I found so far: I can't tell 'fake onlines' appart from the rest. What I call a fake online is someone that is on the main page, with autorefresh on, but hasn't moved from there for at least 15min. So they appear to be online when in fact they are somewhere else...
Last night I caught a usually 'fake onliner' in cloak mode... I couldn't tell if she was just with autorefresh on or if I should stick around a few minutes to wait for her to move (I payed off to stick around )

Maybe auto-refresh shouldn't count for your online status?

One of the biggest problems in the past on this site is people knowing too much about what others are doing. This is a huge step forward to combatting confidentiality issues.
Well done.

If you sort the "Who is online" list by "Action," I note that those players using cloak mode are scattered throughout the list. I guess they are still ordered according to their last action, even though that action is hidden. So, this is a workaround to find out what cloaked players are doing! :)

I like the cloak feature because it tells me who is online without having to know everything they are doing!

Yes.. first new feature I have ever hated..
Oh well! :-)
