Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
boy, this issue has been raised a few times. I promise you the computer dice are completely random. I've had that happen to me in backgammon, and I've also rolled the same dice myself. It happens. If you want to continue the discussion, please move it to the backgammon board, thank you.
No dots for enemies, MagicDragon. If you go to their profile, you won't see the usual "send message" next to their name. And it won't have their last action either. Thats how you know you're on their enemy list.
Andersp: Nope, more like "Fencer has checked and there is no site problem - not everyone is having these problems - therefore its logical that its network rather than site problems." Hows that? You know Fencer goes above and beyond to sort out problems when he can. But in this case, he can't.
Its just that if you fill the board with complaints, other topics will get buried, and there really isn't anything Fencer can do about the performance of peoples PC's.
Mine is working fine, as are other peoples, and there are no problems showing with the site, so theres not much can be done.
Chessmaster - Bry is a global moderator, and as such was chosen to be interviewed. Its just a way of getting to know people here on BrainKing. Its fun, and everyone can get involved by sending in questions.
Its not really censorship, Czuch. Just keeping boards in order, keeping information & questions in the right places. Its a time saver for people wanting to know about certain subjects. If you had a question about computers, imagine how frustrating it would be to scroll through dozens of feature requests or tournament news. Keeping things to the correct boards helps everyone.
Here you'll find tournaments. Most o fthe ones in bold writing are prize tournaments of some dscription. It should say what the prize is if you click on the tournament name. Good luck! :o)
rabbitoid Aww don't make me feel guilty! I was hovering anyway - smilies ARE a feature of BK, and a great one! But I'm not sure its 'on topic' to discuss them here in such a way!
Its a little bit off topic, but its a good contest! As long as it doesn't grow into a big discussion about the possible answers...
It may have been better held at a chess discussion board, but it will reach more people here.
I'll check with Fencer, but its ok for now.
I haven't read feature requests yet, but if its not stepping on anyones toes I'd like to leave these posts here. They're helpful to people setting up games.
Its not really a feature request, Bry. Its a discussion about how to get around the provisional/unrated BKR It might be of interest to others anyway who have been wondering the same thing!
Anglhtt168 - the nearest thing to a chat room is 'general chat', you can discuss anything there. Or Scarlet Rose has a yahoo group just for BrainKing players, where you can find a chat room. I think she has a link on her profile.
