thanks, I agree, I always click "previous" and it is a huge pain in the butt.

Just for you to think about, Fencer.....

It seems that every email program and even here on the dicussion boards, the first button on the left is the reply button.
But on the message box, the first button is previous. Can you guess how many times, I click 'previous' instead of 'reply'? LOL
To me, I think 'reply' on the left, 'previous' & 'next' in the middle, and 'delete' on the right would make more sense....

That was my point. LOL

Those silly things LOL

Stevie - What type of links are you talking about?

:-)

so we have to expect many more of these links in posts then LOL

LOL, a couple hundred tee shirts, gooner.

How far are you Fencer from a new Database server??

I request that the T-Shirts use only cotton from social affiliates in Nicaragua,
that they are mouthpainted by disadvantaged children with nutrial colour and,
butt-blown dried under host of the Union of Underprivileged Bean-Farmers. ~*~

*shakes head* LOL

Sorted!

Right! Order one black and one white, then you can say you have two grey ones. Ha! :-)

On average, that's grey. LOL

Eriisa: Lenka says she'll try to make it but it depends if they have it in a wholesale or not. If not, it will be black or white :-)

color options? I just ordered one, but would prefer a grey shirt if that's available!!!

I will add more colour options [with more pictures] when the photos are ready.

hmm? ...black is cool, I guess..

In what colour Rod?

I'll be ordering one soon!

Five or six, I guess. It's just started :-)

Fencer, I was curious.... how many T-shirts have been sold so far?

Even unrated players are rated but their BKR is not shown. Everyone starts with 1300.

If the list is sorted by BKR, how is it decided wheere unrated players fit?

No, because this information is not stored. It would require to add one more column to the database table, containing a timestamp of joining action.

can it be sorted by date signed up for the tournament instead?

It should be sorted by BKR.
About stopping people from joining, I can add a banning feature for tournaments. Later.

Fencer
just out of curiosity, what order is the list that shows people who have joined a tournament?
I caanot work out the order as it doesnt seem to be alphabetical or by order joined.
If it was sorted by date/time joined, that would be best as it would make it easier to check who are the new joiners.

also, is there any way to stop certain people from constantly joining a tourney after they have been removed. For example, in my tourney, I will remove all pawns who have created their accoutn after june 28th. What is to stop them from joining up again minutes before the cuttoff and then they are in?

Fencer
I was only joking as I posted only moments after you suggested it was a good idea :)
But I tend to disagree somewhat, I thinnk some of the features can be considered somewhat miraculous. I notice the bug extermination is coming along well so keep up the good work

BBW: Some minor enhancements can be done in one minute :-) I already did it many times.

Fencer, if you had a new database server, could you have the programming done in a few minutes? (LOL) :-)

LongJohn: Alhough I call myself a very good programmer, I still cannot do miracles like adding a new feature within several minutes :-)

is it implemented yet fencer?
all the pawns/rooks etc still look the same colour to me?

Actually, with a new database server it will be no problem to reflect on-line status on all pages containing users with their icons [YES, I will keep bothering with it until the goal is reached! :-)].

I was going to say that too LOL

Also any page you can see it, is a page you can tell they are on or offline anyways.

We only need something on the games list on the main page and waiting games page

Yes, that's it. Another color of icons. Thanks BBW :-)

That would be okay on a lot of pages, BBW, but we don't see the pawns/knights/rooks/ etc.. on the main page..

perfect

How about making the pawn/knight/rook/king icons a different color if a person is on-line. (Like green or something?) Then it would not take up any more space.

another site, although rather pathetic at most things, makes all your online opponents appear BOLD.
This might be an option Fencer

A green dot

Even a dot of some sort would be great..

Sure but some other [smaller] symbol would be better. Any ideas?

I really like those little black pawns indicating online status on the Ratings page..
Are there any plans to put them on any other pages? (Main page would be GREAT)

danoschek: The current "random placement" button places remaining ships randomly.

I am a chess fan, and have designed a game (check out Sentinel Chess at www.chessvariants.com. Ed Friedlander, a programmer, designed a PixelPusher chess program to demonstrate the game --follow the link to www.pathguy.com/chess/Sentinel.htm and test it for yourself.

If you as a collective think it enjoyable, I would love to see it played here as well. This is a site that brings me great joy, and I want to add to the enjoyment if I can.

i really like the random placement of boats ... it saves a lot of time! Thanks Fencer :)

How about having each person's flag next to their username in DBs ?

             ~ SF

two additional buttons would be useful.
"place remaining ships randomly" and,
"clear board and place ships randomly" ~*~

ROFLMAO
