Fencer:

I didnt edit my profile today, yet it has completely disappeared...  (That was when I first logged in and posted that it disappeared)  Now, I just looked and there is a profile but from months ago, Not the one that was there lastnight. 

No biggie, I will delete it and start over... 

Arctic Warrior: What now?

Arctic Warrior:  Turn sideways, let me see ... no, it's still there, for what it's worth ...

Fencer:

Well, my whole profile disappeared and I didnt even edit it  

Grrrrrrr

Fencer:
working now thanks

"Snoopy": Please try it now.

Sounds like someone needs to put it into the Bug Tracker.

Tigger: Yes! I tried to update my profile in rich text, but it only worked in plain text

"Snoopy":  I tried that too and mine went "poof" too.  ;)  It still shows on my profile but when I press edit now, it's totally blank. 

Fencer using rich text to update my profile isnt working
i typed a long profile out and pressed preview and it just vanished

Congrats SNOOP:)))

congrats

joshi tm:

Fencer, its Wimbledon, but we have no Tennis Smiley
Found some HERE and HERE and HERE(nice Monkey ones there too ) could you borrow one or two do you think

So - there are 49,314 players listed on the player list - but 42,391 have been inactive as of June 20, 2007..... that leaves 6,923 active members in the last 4 days.

wetware: Great, thanks!

alanback: A little while ago on the Computers board, I mentioned a useful online utility for icon and image resizing. (It will let you preview an icon or image, so you can decide whether the result is worth saving/uploading, or needs additional work.)

Computers (wetware, 2007-06-11 07:13:35)

alanback: You have to have it a certain measurement before you upload it

the size is 50 pixels width x40 pixels in height. anything different than that will look distorted.

Is there a way to check how your icon is going to look before you upload it?  Mine always seem to be stretched vertically.

SEAWOLF2: i am sorry, i dont know webtv ... i thought all browsers had a feature top incrase text ...

my fault, please accept my apologies

(and of course noone would be asked to leave for something like this! :))

i wonder though, for non-vision-impaired (if i may call those people that way) .. i always though non-capitals are easier to read because those characters are more different than the others .. where capitals seem more similar to another (on a quick glance) .. at least for me capitals are harder to read when i read fast .. is that not the same for people who have bad vision ?
hmm .. maybe the size if more important than the differences .. small differences cant be seen when they are too small :)

i hope you can find a solution for the espionage pieces .. and will have fun

and i will be more tolerant for messages in capitals :)

Eriisa: ah! thanks .. i didnt know .. i have never seen webtv .. i dont think its available in the netherlands

Kili: Thank you. While I don't understand your explanation of auto-pass, I think I've figured out what it is (and if I'm right about what it is, shouldn't it be available in Ludo too?). My next question: where do I go to enable auto-pass? I can't find it in my Settings, which seems to me would be where it belongs...

Thanks...

* * * Never mind - I found it. The problem was that it's on the Game Filters page, which - if auto-pass is what I think it is - doesn't make any sense. But I found it. * * *

Can we take the General Chat discussion over to the http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=36 Discussion Board. Thanks!

TexasToest: HEAR HEAR!

SEAWOLF2:  SEAWOLF2: I'M VOTING FOR THE USE OF CAPS WHENEVER YOU MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN CONVERSATIONS.  THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE SPOKEN OUT BEFORE ME.  I'M EVEN VOTING FOR BOLD, LARGE AND ALL CAPS.  HOW EXTREME CAN THAT BE?????

in todays blog you asked why doesnt Firefox spell checker recognize the word "enlightment"...the reason being because the correct spelling is "enlightenment"

plaintiger: I am sure everything is explained in Fencers blogs

plaintiger:
1. Auto-pass mode (only available in gammons) means "automatic movement" in case of only movement.

2. Italic game in the waiting games section means not rated games.

See you.

Two questions:

1. what is auto-pass, and

2. why are some games italicized in the waiting games list?

These things really should be explained where they appear rather than just letting the user wonder...

Thanks...

Oceans Apart: hehehe one for you :)

Bernice:

srnity: I know it is awful isnt it HAHAHAHA

Bernice: And, Bernice, your scaring me - lol

SEAWOLF2: I THINK WHAT WE ARE ALL TRYING TO SAY IS FEEL FREE TO USE CAPITALS - NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE - I THINK YOU'VE PROBABLY ENLIGHTENED QUITE A FEW PEOPLE, WHICH IS NEVER A BAD THING

SEAWOLF2: GOD BLESS YOU, AND YOU CERTAINLY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGISE....AS SOON AS I READ YOUR POST IN CAPS I KNEW THAT THERE HAD TO BE A VISION PROBLEM, AND FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE i AGREED WITH SRNITY AND HER REMARKS...PLEASE ENJOY YOUR STAY HERE AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN BECOME A PAID MEMBER, AND ENJOY SOME OF THE REAL BENEFITS OF THIS WONDERFUL SITE.

Hrqls:

Thank you for speaking up in defense of me. I AM
vision impaired with glaucoma and am having some
difficulty with seeing various aspects of this site. I
am very grateful to those of my opponents who are
using large sized text in their game messages to me. It helps a lot! Yes, I am on webtv; but there is not way for me to "adjust" my webtv browser. It is
merely a primitive form of internet receiver with no
hard drive. It provides a "remote" internet connection
to the WWW via a telephone connection acting as a dial up modem, and a television acting as the monitor. I meant no offense to anyone and nor did I
intend my message to represent "screaming". My deepest apologies to those who were offended by
the all caps message I posted. I am accustomed to using capitals only because it makes things a LOT easier for me to see and read online. Please
forgive me if I have broken some unwritten rule about the use of capitals. I am enjoying my first few days here and do hope I will not be asked to
leave for this "faux pas". Please forgive me. I will
do my best to use normal text in the future, but it
is very difficult for me as I have glaucoma. Thank
you all very much for your input to my query on the
discussion board about the Espionage games.

Regards,

SEAWOLF2

alanback: Yes it is, many a time I have to be told I am shouting as I canna hear meself well

ty fo that info, i'll set vacation days, this way i'll be safer. i really do not want to time out.

Hrqls:  The visually impaired must use capital letters in order to see what they are writing more clearly.  This is not rude, just a necessity.  It's like a hearing impaired person speaking too loudly -- may take some getting used to, but a small price to pay for the benefit of including everyone in our conversations.  

Hrqls: Seawolf is using WebTV, you cannot increase the fonts on that, if I understood correctly. Nothing worse than having lots of typos because you cannot read what you are typing.

Trust me, I know!

srnity: i know what you mean, i thought about that as well, thats why i didnt post anything about it the first time.
he responded to pauloaugia though who didnt write in capital letters
in every browser you can configure the browser itself so that it will show letters bigger .. i guess thats what seawolf2 did
(that wont work for espionage pieces though as those are images and not letters)

i dont think seawolf2 meant it as screaming. i think though that there are people who see a post in all capitals and associate that with screaming.
seawolf2 probably doesnt know about that though, thats why i posted a note about it :0

Hrqls: Ummmm, just a thought, but, maybe he uses capital letters not as a means of "screaming" BUT maybe for the simple reason that he may not be able to see &/or read as well as the average person can & therefore it helps to have writing in capital letters??? Don't you think your "putting the cart before the horse" in presuming otherwise? Just my opinion

SEAWOLF2: please dont use capital letters for your whole post .. its considered the same as screaming in real life conversations. non-capital letters are easier too read as they are more different than capital letters

i dont think there is a way to enlarge the pieces for espionage ... there are some pages in which you can select the size of the pieces in other games on this site .. but i cant seem to find espionage on those pages either .. sorry :(
