Clock's just struck midnight here, that means it is now my 1 Year BK Anniversary -- Goodie goodie gumdrops!

Now if the site would just cooperate all the late-eggers could crawl back onto the web :)

Apparently by mere glancing at the post someone gave me hiccups *URP!* excuse me :P

same ole :( same ole :(
Is the site extremely slow again?
pages taking forever to load...i have done all the vacuuming and dusting required LOLOL

Yes. I never said it's already fixed.

I'm getting a red 1 by main page at all times now even though it's not my move in any games..i know this one has been reported before but it appears to have cropped up again..

Your very welcome

Thanks BuilderQ and SunFire!!

It takes four games of one kind before that person will get a rating on those kind of games.

He probably gained more than you lost, but since he was still unrated after the game, you could not see the change.

I sure don't understand the rating system. Played a game with an unrated player, he won and I lost 109 bkr's but he gained nothing!

Simply said, an SB-Value is often pure humbug in small groups, Much better to
take the direct encounter as first choice - if just two are level, the one who won
the game between them, should rank higher (for that time) - beyond any doubt. ~*~

Right.

what size are team logos ? 120x75 i think .

well whatever you did, it fixed my problem. Oh well, back to firefox!

no IE, no problems ;-)))

perhaps bk.com, poetry, books (wink wink) or similary appealing ... 0:)
perhaps preferably with a trigon moderatorship, us/aus/eu ... ~*~

One small emergency fix will fix it.

what about those messages on the guest mode?

BBW: It means "maybe in the future" :-)
Backoff: I changed nothing. And I don't recommend to use IE.

Also when I right click on a link and select "open in new window" with I.E 6.0 (like I always do), it seems like my cookie isn't staying with the new window, as the new window opens in guest mode. This just started today. It's not happening with Firefox, only IE. Any suggestions? Did Fencer change something?

repeat***

Ummm I also just noticed that in guest mode, you have people's real PM's including one that has a members phone number in it.

I think you may want to change that Fencer!

I just started in the middle of the pack. Adequate success pushes quickly skyward but crafty opponent has spanner in the works. Timing out on everyone else, he returns to make good our struggle. Now he is -400 points so I face only peril. There is now no possible reward. Ahhh, but I consume the small speck of flavor and my digestive services are restored.

ScarletRose - When BK2.0 came out, the "personal notes" field was gone - well you had to click a link to leave personal notes about a game. Made it a little harder to leave personal notes, which I do - but was cool because it saved room on the screen so the game board & Submit buttons where on the same screen (without having to scroll down). Now I've just noticed that the personal notes field is back.

Ummm I also just noticed that in guest mode, you have people's real PM's including one that has a members phone number in it.

Was that a good "Mmmmmmm", or a bad "Mmmmmm"?

Mmmmmm? :-)

So normally you don't show the notes?? *Giggle*.. that explains why it seems you don't see me! LOL

Mmmmmmm.

I'm playing my games trying to figure out what is different - it was really cool, i could play my game and the "submit" button would be near the bottom (of my big screen at work) - now I have to scroll down to hit submit.

I finally figured what is slowng me down - the "notes" box is back on the page!

As an added suggestion, i would love to see the 2 submit boxes ABOVE the notes boxes - something where the submit boxes are on the same screen as the play box that way you don't have to scroll down.

OR even better, how about an option that the submit boxes be ABOVE the game board, top of the page? I mean I've already made my move, I would rarely need to look at the board again - well in a few chess games and such to make sure I'm not beat too fast. But the submit buttons above the game board would be cool. (While making the moves, everything is cool where it is now.) (And again, just an option for people - not something that needs to be changed for everyone since I'm sure others would not like this idea.)

Something like that yes LOL

This one?

Fencer is there a way to show a list of Top scores (most games played)?

oooops - sorry ... 0:) ... ~*~

Oh dear, 5 minutes? I think withdrawal could start in that amount of time couldnt it?

I would call 5 minutes downtime a "great difficulty".

has had a few hickups, here too ... ;) ... ~*~

yes same here

it went of about 5 mins ago but came straight back on for me .

i have had great difficulty with this site today...anyone else?

ewwwwwwwww...bugs are icky get the bug killer someone LOL

sorry in rare form today :o(( heehehe

I'm really bugged by provisional ratings ... 0:) ... ~*~

It's a known bug.

I thought it is a feature - to show what provisional ratings are worth. :D ... ~*~

I've noticed this for awhile - when I go into the Ratings link, and click on "(show provisional BKR too)" - Battleboats Plus does not show up on the list for me.

You go harley!

OK thats enough. You've both had your say, any more will be deleted.

ok Fencer.
However it would be good to point out that if Bernice was so touchy, why did she feel free to hurl around abuse initially without thought of repercussion? She seemed to think it was fine to dribble about me taking meds and stuff like that and if you notice, she always seems to be the instigator.

Bottom line, if she just learned to keep her mouth shut and leave other people alone, then she wouldnt get anything back. There are always repercussions for things we do in this world.

Dont stir the pot and it wont stir back if you know what I mean and I think everyone noticed Bernices constant slanders of me. Shame shame shame.

LJ: Please don't use this kind of jokes here.

seems you misunderstood a simple light hearted joke Bernice.
If it offends you, I take it back
Sorry :)

I notice that LongJohn has deleted his post completely from tyhis board instead of it just having a *EDITED* on the message.

Thank you to all who had my personal details deleted from here, and as has been said on the Gen Chat board, it is in the hands of the Townsville Police :(

It is a sorry day when a person cannot play games for the sicko's that haunt the internet.

I would warn all on here to beware of LongJohn, and Im sorry Harley, but I do think this is in the interest of the BrainKing.com board.

I would also add that the address that he has and has posted on here is NOT my address :) the local phone book has that address and it has been wrong for the 15 years I have lived here :) hehehehe...thankfully I get my bills sent to a Post Office Box.
