I agree that it is a little weird but I delete all mine and have no records.

Antje...i compared..you lost to a player who had 369 BKR HIGHER than you and you lost -46 BKR.
I just lost to a player who had 165 LOWER than me ..and i only lost -13 BKR.
cant be right?

I will support this motion about the Blue edge for loop from Christine and bwildman. Thanks!

i have a question about the BKR. (let me preface this by saying im not whining and usually dont care about my rating) Im losing a whole lot of points each time i lose, i was up over 2000, now im in 1500. ive been looking at the points im winning/losing, when i lose i lose i lose 40 some points, and even now when im 1600 and my opponent is 1900, i still lose 40 some points, i dont recall the difference being that dramatic before. am i just now more aware of it, or has something changed?

so if the luck of the dice is the usual decider, i need to win 2 to equal the loss of one game, and im dropping 40 points with each loss, ill be hitting zero before too long.

has anyone else noticed this?

*edited for a typo or two

Of course.

it does help distinguish the game.

Fencer, would it be possible to get the blue edge around the loop chess board again?

Ah-ha! Row layout and board at the top. That's a deadly combination :-D
I know how to fix it.

Cariad, on your keyboard press 'print screen SysRq', then open up word and hit paste. You have your screen shot!

You could come along and join me in my account for a couple of minutes and take a look for yourself. I don't bite!

Much.

I don't even know what a screenshot is!

Interesting. I will look into error logs. Can you, uh, can you make a screenshot of that page?

Fencer:
Yes, so I know who the invitations are from.

I noticed the red invite figure as I was playing a game so I clicked it directly, without going to the main page.

And don't forget the flags! Hover over them to see the country!

just read the list of new features.. you may want to add that the red number that appears next to the message box on the left hand list, when hovered over reveals who the last message received is from.

Can you see some invitation on your main page?

Oh!

It works for me.

I don't know if this is part of the red numbers bug or has been covered before but:
when I pick up an invitation by clicking the red number the page gives no indication as to who the invite is from. There's just a game board.

Next week.

...do you think you will unsuspend the game timeouts?

Thanks.

I have found that I am able to leave this site to browse or whatever, and do not always have to log in to get back here. Even after going to bed and coming back this morning, I did not have to log in, and even my connection was off. Is this an advantage of WebTV? I have heard others say that they cant even leave the site at all without having to log back in....

As often as you want.

How often can one change one's picture?

win98SE

i dont have to scroll across either....

must be your settings as I don't have to scroll across..what are you running?

I did post this yesterday or the day before but.....:(

Every message board (not main page or game pages)
all fellowship pages have to be scrolled across.
Is this something new or a bug?
it is a bit of a nuisance
I have looked for information on this but unless someone speaks different to me i might have misunderstood...

you are on the team with me :) lucky you

I am?? thanks :) will check that out LOLOL

Jason :(...perhaps that is the one im signed into, that I cant see, that I should be able to see, that I might not be able to play in any other team, because im signed into your team but i cant see it HAHAHAHAHAHA....sorry

and yes you did get my PM about missing gammon team :)

bernice you are on a team in chatty's cafe!!

i just wish i could get on a team ;( dont know where im signed to, and did you get my PM about the backgammon team?

has anybody had some of there teams go missing ,my backgammon team seems to have dissapeard lol

This is in response to a post MUCH further down, from someone who was going to leave the site because they didn't get a response from Fencer as quick as they would have liked. For general questions, it might be a good idea to send them to the BKsupport email address. Everyone in customer service gets these emails, and you will most likely get a quicker response. Especially at this time when Fencer is very busy..
Just a suggestion!
:-)

I also send messages to myself. I have a standard "Welcome note" that I send out to new members of the Club WebTV fellowship. I copy and paste it from that message I sent myself. I also send a message to myself of the list of people in the fellowship, so that if we ever have a "time warp" like last year, it will be easy to re-invite people..
I suppose I can save this information in an email to myself, instead.. just one more step..
:-(
I'm lazy!!!
lol

Fellowship Red Number - If you only want your MAIN LANGUAGE discussion board red numbers to be next to the Fellowship name, you can make that option in Settings (Bottom of page)

Picture of user - it is for Knight & above membership only. (And for those people, you need a 40x50 jpg picture, and send that to info@brainking.com along with your user name.)

Plus if you don't know how to resize a picture, post on the Members only board and one of us can help get a picture ready for you.

Your very welcome

Thanks SunFire.

Yes you have to be a paying member to get your photo to be seen all the time.

Oops!! Sorry....wrong place to post....

Yes, I think so..I'll look.

Probably been asked before, but i didn't feel like weeding thru hundreds of posts. How do i get a pic up? Do i have to be a knight or higher?

Where did the blue edge on the loop chess board go? Is it possible to get that back?

to get the RED number off the Fellowships part of our main page. U have to click all the talk for both Discussion boards
◄ Monkeys Swinging Madhouse ► in English
◄ Monkeys Swinging Madhouse ► in Czech .

But for some reasons I still can't get the 1 for debate to go away.
:o{P

Caissus: Yes, why not.

it should accept html tags like metapad,
else links would have to be c'n'p_ed ...

And clicking the red number next to the fellowship takes you straight to that db.

Right - there is no need to add fellowship dbs to your favourite list because the new messages are now listed beside each fellowship in the fellowships list.
