On fellowships, there is no longer a link to add the DB to your "favourite Boards". On the general Discussion boards, there IS that link. I guess this is because of the "red numbers" next to the fellowship name specifying how many new messages. Much cleaner. Thanks.

..but you will change it anytime?

Yes, you have to wait.

Will the next round of a tournement start now automatically if we have the section winners or must we wait until all games are finished
(like in BK 1.0)?

Underneath your message box, there is a 'copy to outbox' that I think is ticked by default.. therefore you can view your 'outbox' in the same way as your 'inbox'

sorry, edited because I've just realised that I didn't in fact answer your question atall !!

Was there supposed to be a feature where you could save messages to a seperate folder thus clearing your message box and also keeping them safer from accidental deletion? Or was that something for the future?

Yes, i send myself messages all the time - But some sort of note-pad would be good.

For example, I sent myself a lot of the special characters (♪, ♫, ☼, ►, etc..) that way is I need one, I can just look in my Message box and pull that message up and copy-n-paste. Other times I have used it is if I want to keep an eye on a tournament, I'll message myself a link.

Lost the red number by my message box :o)

I guess bugs are disappearing, cos site is speeding up :o)

sounds good to me ;)

if you can do links on it, that would be fine for me

Would a simple notepad do the trick? A page where you can write your personal notes.

I send myself messages also, I think BBW does also.
Or do we just talk to ourselves LOL
Maybe I could make new fellowship and invite all my nics to it and talk to myself in public LMAO

Yes i do that too jason!!! when i do birthday cakes etc.... its easier to test them by sending them to yourself rather than keep editing them on a board...

notepad... now why am I reminded of it?

well many times i want to save a link to a game or test a link or send myself a reminder about something , im sure there are lots here who do(did) the same thing .

Jason: Yes, you cannot send yourself a message. Why would you want to do it?

yep,
but its the sly grin that worries me, as if he is plotting , or doing a Uri gella thingy to hypnotise us into getting a server

ive just tried sending myself a message but i dont seem to be able to anymore , it lists all jasons (in the drop down box ) but im not there . has it been revoved so we cant send to ourself anymore ..or maybe a bug .

Hey Steve, have you noticed that Fencer's eyes follow you all around the room? Do you think I should report it as a bug? :o)

great minds think aloike LOL

Thanks cariad.

Thanks Stevie.

BerniceC, there is a team tournament that has been organized by Fencer. Big Bosses can enter a team if they want to.
Go the the fellowship where you are a member of the backgammon team and ask the captain if you are playing in the tournament.

Bernice, your name isnt on it, so you are not in it, and noone has signed you to it.
what it means is that you belong to a backgammon team in one of the fellowships you belong to. so best go look at them all and see which one you joined :o)

where is my name????

who gives a f=hoot...why am i there?
I didnt sign up therefore I shouldnt be on that
"first team tournament"

it isnt a real deal but i wanted to join a team and couldnt...that is the sad thing it is now closed.....thanks for understanding....I might be like MrLoupcity...go back into my corner.and f'n say nothing.

Please read http://brainking.info/bugs.html and let me know if it contains everything important.

And where is your name?

this is what i see Fencer :( when i click on Team Tournaments:(

Name Game type Team size Days per move Creator
First team tournament Backgammon 5 3 Fencer

Bernice: I don't see you as signed up. Furthermore, it's a captain of the team who signs up the whole team at once, not me, so you must complain to him.

on my main page on the left hand side it has Team Tournaments.. with a red (1) beside it...when i go in it says im signed up for a tournament that Fencer is the creator of....dont ever remember signing for that :(
would this be why I cant join "TheZoo" backgammon team?
if so please remove me from there Fencer ...sorry

when we find a bug, just step on it!

;)

I'll try to write it today.

When you get a chance Fencer, try to post a "known bug list" that way we will try not to keep sending you notes about the same bugs.

have just sent you 2

I would like to ask everyone who wants to report a bug to send it to info@brainking.com instead of posting here. Then it will be much easier for me to make a TODO list out of them and not to miss anything. Thank you.

3 time this afternoon i have posted messages to different boards....instead of posting to the relevant board it is taking me to the main "Discussion Boards" page :(
bug?

oh good, so Fencer will publicly tell us that you have paid. That is great and a good show of spirit.

I simply want to offer people the chance to play a tourney faster. Remember, pawns only can play 1 tourney at a time. If we want to do them a favour, the more variety the better.

When is Fencer making the declaration of your payment and on what board?

I have spoken to Fencer, and the money is on the way,and that is between me and him,i'm getting the idea that you are just trying to make me look bad,any time you want too,we can have a tournament against each other,so we can finish in one day,with a prize on the line money up front because you can't be trusted.As said earlier,this is not the place and time to settle our differences.:o)What part do you not understand.

LongJohn - There is a difference between offering an alternative and attacking another persons tournament.

Yes, I have not signed up for that other tournament mostly because I don't want to play in a tournament that has 2 backgammon games (too many games), but I found it really funny how you complain about how long his tournament will last, but you have in the past at the last minute switched a tournament with MANY MANY pawn in it to 30 days per move just because you could....... which is the reason I will not join your tournament. It is nothing I would have brought back up normally, but find it funny how you complain about the exact thing you have done in the past.

that is in the past and behind us.
I have already proposed paying for the prize prior to starting the tourney. I ask that you do the same.
I have also made my tourney a 1 day time limit to assist people to finish.
All I ask is that you pay for the prize prior to starting the tourney, or else dont start it.
Is that too much? If you intend paying for the prize, why not now?

Oh, and another point, you yourself intentionally move as slow as possible to delay games. I think that is a generally accepted fact about you now.

BBW there is no point bringing up the past, what are you trying to prove? Fact is, it is plainly obvious that Bill's tournament will cause much delay for pawns as I am sure you must agree with. That is not fair and I am simply offering another alternative with the promise of money on the table first.

Thanks BBW you made a very good point there,i did'nt know about that part,but seeing how you put it in,it is all in open,and your right about keeping this board open to new bugs not that bug LOL.it will save Fencer alot of reading,instead of nonsence.thanks BBW your a true friend in my books.

Universal - You forgot to mention how LongJohn changed the time limit to 30 days per move, then took away the prize, then started it without anyone having a chance to find out about the new setting - and having many people & pawns stuck in the tournament - some still stuck, with his words of why he did it as "because he could."

.... but this discussion should really be moved off this board to another board like General Chat, and keep this board open to new bug reports & BK2.0 questions.

Are you speaking for Fencer again,you will eat your words,what about your prize tournament that needed 200 players or no prize,then you kept deleting the people,so it would reach 200 so you go figure what was you motive,put up or stand pat.And why would you want 200 players so again i prove my point,how long would that last 8yrs,you contredict yourself everytime you speak,sorry fencer just proving a point for you and me.

there is no point lying about it. People join a prize tourney for a chance at winning a prize.

If you get a pawn to join a tourney that lasts 4 years, that means they cannot join any other tourneys for 4 years. That is not fun. Anyone with half a brain can see that you are simply tying everyone up with no intention of playing

I DO NOT INTEND TO START MINE UNTIL FENCER DECLARES THAT THE PRIZES HAVE BEEN DONATED ALREADY. HOW ABOUT WE ALL WAIT UNTIL FENCER DECLARES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONATED THE PRIZES.

We know you wont because you have no intention of ever paying up. Prove me wrong. Pay now and have it verified and I will eat my words, otherwise, stop wastig the poor pawns time.

Also, if it is only for fun, then why did you offer a prize to start with. I think we all know why dont we !!!

This site is for fun,if you like playing for fun the longer it last the better,if you enjoy playing,as for the two games it's only fair to let some skill come into effect seeing how the dice can roll the wrong way in a game,any backgammon player knows that.102 people will disagree with that issue.

I noticed that too BBW.

2 extra page loads (without auto-pass) I can live with, but 4 extra page loads (without auto-pass & "move and go to" button) is a little too much - The server is stressed enough! :-)

Makes auto pass even more wanted LOL

Update on a "bug" i posted about earlier.

I've noticed on all the boat games that when you set up a board, you don't have the "Move and go to" option. (only the Move option)

Also on games where you don't have any moves, so without auto-passing - it also does not have the "Move and go to" button, only the Move button.
