Cranky Franky: Because they want to. That's why I feel that if someone is blocking you they should in return be blocked from PM'ing. It would then stop a silly practice which can be time consuming. I have to check my inbox to see if something has come up that needs my attention.

Cranky Franky: Miss wet T-shirt? What's that?

Jules: Are you getting messages from someone who is blocking you? Why are they doing that?

Cranky Franky: Yep.

Jules: What duties? Are you a moderator?

Cranky Franky: Slight problem with doing that. My duties on here... and my duties on here lol

Jules: Yes. It would be fair of you to block them too.

A point.

If someone has you on block, wouldn't it be fair that they cannot send PM's to you?

ditto lamby, and many more like that also

Another word loads of people keep spelling wrong is "You're welcome" short for "You are welcome" instead they spell it "Your welcome" which would mean "My welcome"
It's a real pet hate of mine!

Hi. I was away for a while but am back again at this site I enjoy so much. I have been trying to pay for a knight, but the site, probably wisely, is reluctant to accept American money.
Anyway, I am struck by the decline in vigor of the posts on the message sites, a result - well intentioned, I'm sure - of what seems over-vigorous cencorship.
Frankly, many of the posts that I have read for a few weeks are nicy-nice mush, tedious and almost unreadable.
What's wrong with some honest flaming - after all, it is a game art-form in its own right - and it seems odd that it is forbidden on a game site?
Well, I expect an opinion - hopefully unedited - from Mr. Danoschek, whom I confess I have sometime collaborated with in this most interesting sport.
Best to you all.

hehe i have the same thing when i am typing a text in dutch .. i often type too fast and type down an english word which starts with the same letters ... even when it has a totally different meaning :)

Yea... that's me. I was just posting something on another site, reading through it before I hit "post", and there is was again - "multiply" instead of "multiple" :-)

EdTrice: I have seem him do that too.

No, everyone has their own "blind spots" for certain words that we have, out of habit, never corrected ourselves. In my case, it is the word "every" which I am constantly spelling as "very" and "position" which I nearly always spell as "postion".

With you, I have seem "multiply" occur in many, many posts.

EdTrice: Yea... we need a speell checker here.

... then again, the word is spelled correctly, just the wrong word.

EdTrice:ooooohhhhhh dont knock the almighty BBW LOL

BIG BAD WOLF: You often say "mutiply" when you mean "mutiple".

hmmmmmm....phantom posters !!

two diferent ways of creeping LMAO

FENCER

I like it, I like it, I like it, Sorry for complaining to quickly. I should have known.

First I really like the option of having multiply boards in fellowships now - I also like it that we can offically add any board to the Favourites list, since for myself there are a couple that I like to have quick access to.

I really liked how it was set up earlier, showing all the sub-boards in the fellowship list - without it, the only way to know if there are new post on these sub-boards is to either add them to your favourites list (Way too many for some), or to always visit the fellowships main page. (But I can see how some would not like it.)

I would love to see an option to either have these on or off in settings - or beter yet, right on the main page where the fellowships (?): is listed, have an "Expand" / "colapse" option which will show or not show these sub boards.

Fencer: hmm .. i have 2 boards in my fellowships .. which can go to 5 .. or even more later ? .. wouldnt be easier to have 'favourite fellowships' ?

Chessmaster1000: Five minutes before you submitted your post.

Not the time at was writing it.......

Chessmaster1000: Why? It's already back.

Fencer: weehee! i got my fellowship board in my favourites boards again :)

Damn now in the favourite boards we can't have the fellowship boards........
Not even the wolf-trick works:

http://brainking.com/game/DoSettings?bsub=1&bc=XXX&ps=$Board&pp=bc$XXX
where XXX is the number of the board.........
Naughty Fencer....! You should bring back this feature.......

Better?

Fencer: ok .. we will be patient(s) ;)

Easy. I didn't say this is the final version. But with the complexity of the site, it's not possible [and safe] to implement everything at once.

Nirvana: *nod* i would love it back as well .. i had the ones where i am a mod or big boss as my favourites so i would read them first (when i had little time) .. i am missing that feature now

A useful feature which for some reason no longer seems to work. Those fellowships in favourites lists are now mixed in with all the others belonged to.
Maybe it could be brought back?

Jules: aarrrggghhhhh! lol

I don't think so. It's either have them in all languages, or just one language I think.

Jules: actually the second language board, i have one that has czech as the first language. can we selectively delete or hide the ones we don't use? i have some that use the czech side as a second english board!

tazman7474: Yep, they are.

it looks like the duplicate listings are for the czech boards

I try to look at the Purple World DB and it takes me to the generic "news" DB which is months old and almost never read let alone used. It's hard enough getting people to be interactive and post on the DB and now they can't even find it! Boooo. LOL.

ClayNashvilleTn: I've cleaned mine up by only having the boards displayed that are supposed to be English, but that means I lose one board that I need to see until the Big boss can get around to editing that boards language!!

This how mine now looks. SHSSSSSSSSSSSSSSK

ClayNashvilleTn: So do I.

Jules:I agree totally. I would have preferred it stayed like it was.

It is obvious that it will cause a headache hunting through all the F/S trying to find the ones that are favorites. Maybe it is just an oversight and will be corrected. I sure hope so.

Also I thought Pro backgammon was the next thing on the list of features to be completed. So why are these new features being implemented first if Pro backgammon is top of the list?

ClayNashvilleTn: I had a few F/s boards as part of my favourites. Now they have dissapeared of the fav boards list. This is not right!

Jules:One would think in lieu of this change then a feature for "favorite fellowships" would be in keeping with the format.

A list of all the Boards
A Favorite Boards

A list of all the fellowships
A list of "Favorite Fellowships" would be good.

There are so many F/S and it is messy trying to find ones favorites

This new way of showing the fellowship boards is messy. Any chance of changing it back?

cool ;) ty

Jason: 5 boards (including the main one) is the limit. At the moment :-)
Other changes are related to languages. Mostly.

being able to add a new board ;) is there a limit to how many boards you can create ?.
what other changes are they ?
