ughaibu: It will be a server-side cache problem [I've written the cache myself and it contains some minor bugs]. The application server reload should fix it, I'll ask Liquid to do it.

Yes it seems most people are using their own picutres. Mine hame is certainly an original. There are some that crack me up though like AD's. Too funny AD. I think I saw Pres Clintons out there somewhere too or I might be mistaken.

That's to set up a fellowship tournament for that game type.

Backoff has made me big boss of his tablut fellowship but I'm not getting "define new tournament" in the team box, any advice?

I think thats more than enough about Kevin. He's playing within the rules, and is a lovely person too. Theres no need to single him out, he's not the only person to take his time at games, I have been myself lately because I've been busy.

Yes its true Bernice. and I was never told if the other party done thier bit in the end.

Kevin, at your age you should be out and about anyways. Not playing silly games with other peoples time out limits to annoy them.

I can't remember what it was like to decline in my later years. :o)

9 years ago I was my age as well!

hahahah 20 years ago....I was about your age bumble .....40...hehehhe
**edit** hehehe and here come the remarks....thanks Bumble, we both know what it is like to decline in our later years dont we :)

No,she was young and pretty at this time..:)

A photo of you taken 20 years ago, Bernice? You would have been a toddler then, surely? :o)

thanks Chatty, but it makes for extra "clicks"

I know...dont be so lazy.. but i can see on the bottom half of my main page all my fellowships, having to go there and then click on number of posts isnt an incentive to do that exactly ( but then that depends on the fellowship i guess) there are some fiery buggars LOLOL

Thank you fencer, I will tell them about that, I thought things had changed now :)

the fellowships dont go into the favourites nor bernice.. any new messages show up by the side of any fellowship, and just click on that red number to read the message.

Im trying to make my new fellowships into my "favourites" :(
I cant...has something changed or do i have to keep clicking on my "Fellowships" list??

I dont want to make a pest of myself with changing pics...my "eye" was disturbing to some....no worries... my dog is bringing some hilarious remarks hehehehehe.....my real pic.??
If yours can be 3 years old dear Fencer, can mine be 20 years old...Im on the decline side you see and dont need smart remarks from some of your members..no names but you all know where im coming from LOLOL

chattytea: They do it through editing their details but this change must be approved by me or Liquid.
Bernice: Show us your real photo first :-)

HAHAHAHA....Damned foreign languages hehehehe
Bwild....you a buggar of a man:)
Fencer....do you have a criminal record? LOLOL prolly not but i bet there are a few here that do ROFLMBO
AD...I would love to see more of you BUT....and that is a big butt hehehe your butt I mean ROFLMBO

again sorry Harley :)....blame da Boss

I am probably going over old things here but
I know someone who needs to change their name (for a genuine reason) Do they hve to do it through you now fencer?? Or can they do it just through editing their details?

bwildman: Damned foreign languages! You know what I mean :-)
ellie: You can do it through "support us" page, just type 56 do the PayPal box. I know what it is for.

wow Fencer!! you were big at 3!! LOL:)

that's okay, but it only says one payment, do i have to do it two times?

Bernice: My pic is real. 3 years old, though :-)
Ellie: I don't know what exchange rates PayPal uses but anyway, all membership prices are in EUR. I was not happy to make this change from USD to EUR but I had to because of a tax policy change in our country [the tax for BrainKing fees was changed from 5% to 22%].

some pics are not as easy for eyes like mine to see.

you mean you'd like to see more of me?? :) crazy

that would be a nice feature!!

I wish there was a way to click on the pictures to enlarge them.

you sure did Bernice and it rhymes with what I am, huh!!!

hahaha check out gen chat...Ive already answered that ROFLMBO :)

thought I saw some of those pics on milk cartons!!

LOL@Bernice...your such a dog!! LOL:)

hehehe Bwild :) you might be most wanted on here, but not at my local HAHAHAAHA

mines at the post office!!LOL:)

I really would like to know...
Do people actually post their REAL pics here?
except for myself, Dolittle, AD and a couple of others, it looks like it. HEHEHEHE...Im saving all the pics and taking them to the police station to see if there are any "Most Wanted's" on here HAHAHAHAAHA
sorry Harley..off topic, but it could be for the good of BK ROFLMBO

<thanks for answering that....I thought that it might have been fixed with BK2 but this time I understand a bit more of what you have said>

You go Kevin! I've had certain nameless people rag me for not playing games at their speed too. And shame on them for thinking that Customer Service Reps cannot have a life outside of BrainKing. I enjoy this site, but I have not played any of my games due to personal circumstances which is no one's business. And, I might not move on some til next week. So what? Its only a game. shrug.

Well based on the current exchange rate found on xe.com ($1.2319 US = 1 EUR) for the 56 EUR to pay for the 2 memberships you'd pay $68.9864 US, which is approximately $1.75 less than $35.37 * 2.

i have no idea about that, so i will wait for Fencer, and i appreciate all your help. thanks.

Yes, for two memberships (56 EUR) you'd double it. However, if you're not paying on paypal and just sending cash or something you could use a more accurate exchange rate such as that found on http://www.xe.com or some other currency exchange site.

ellieoop - You may want to wait and ask Fencer - because isn't there less paypal "fee's" if only 1 big payment is made, and not 2 smaller payments?

Kevin, you don't owe anyone an explanation, you have done nothing wrong, don't let a few people ruin your game time. i think you're a fine young man.
then you say the 35.37 is correct, and then i will now go and pay it, and do i have to do it twice for 2 memberships?
thx. ellie

yu say your money was sent back????
seriously????
what happened to the money Harley also donated to your tournament? I hope you are joking abut this:(

Thank you Kevin for my original PAID membership :)(which I won in a novel competition)
and as you say....you DO put your money where your mouth is :)

The $35.37 US will be based on Paypal's current exchange rate - which is more or less the equivelent of 28 EUR.

All I will say is that if I do not time out, I have done nothing wrong. I have explained why I play slower than most - if you can't accept it, all I could do is say it again which obviously will not help.

As for using my Customer Service participation to bash my slow-playing, that's just low and a poor excuse for an argument. It has nothing to do with my game-playing habits. Some will prefer to play fast, some will prefer to play slow. Someone asking me to play faster doesn't force me to, just like someone asking for $1,000 doesn't force me to give it to them.

It's been said before, and I'll say it again - the time limit is the time required to make your moves it. It does NOT allow for extra "emergency time". If you want to play a 7-day per move game, be prepared to wait 7 days between each move. If you don't want to wait 7 days between each move, do not play 7-day move games. It's very simple.

You say some people pay "Real money" to play? And you think I don't? I have paid for 2 years of my own rook membership and a combined 4 1/2 year rook for others and 1 year knight for others. At the current rate, that's 188 Euros (about $232 US, according to the current exchange rate), although it'll be a little less because at least one of mine was $28 US before it was changed to Euros. I don't think anyone besides CaoZ can say they've paid that much "Real money" as you call it. And I'll remind you I only have a part-time job that probably pays 1/3 or less of what you get.

it say's, source of fund, credit card. 35.37, and it shows it only for 1 membership, do i have to do it twice?

I believe it would be $34.50 US total. (Prices for the membership, and "store" are all in EUR - so the US price will always be going up & down.)

ok, i'll look, but do you know if it would it be 28.00 by check or money order?

I followed the link in the "Paid Membership" area (without actually sending a payment), but my total was around $34.50. Take a look again to make sure what total is actually shown.

would it be 28.oo if i paid by check or money order?

then 37 is correct?? i want to be sure, cause i'm buying 2 memberships, and i surely don't want to overpay.
