For me, it was a little over 24 hours before I saw my pawn change to rook.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with this site. :-) I'm from itsyourturn and Im choosing to be a member here rather than renew my membership there. This place has so many features that I wish IYT had... Seems like a real community! I stopped visiting the message boards there because they seemed to turn into angry, confrontational places. This seems like a place for people who love good clean competition... I look forward to becoming a very involved member of this community! I'm a total game addict. :-)
Fencer, you ROCK... :-D

As soon as your transaction is made you are automatically a member.

Anyone know how long it takes for mambership to become active after using a credit card to join?
Thanks.

you are a sick puppy...lol

LMAO.

you're a sick sick man...so what does the cat do for fun...lol...oh I forgot do you have fish too...lol

A guy walks into a bar and orders 6 drinks for himself.
The bartender says, "Looks like you are having a bad day !!!!"
The guy says, "Am I ever!! To start, I woke up late for work. On my way to work I got in an accident. When I got to work I was four hours late, so the boss fired me. Then to top everything off I came home to my wife in bed with my best friend."

The bartender says, "What did you say to your wife ???"

The guy says, "I told her to get out, and I never want to see her again..."

The bartender says, "What did you say to your best friend ???"

The guy says, "I said BAD DOG !!!!"

I plan too :) Thank you for responding Ian...
maybe we can get a game later :)

Welcome to our "Little Corner" of the net Dakota Spring. Have fun. ☺

just wanted to say HI to everybody...never wrote anything on here before...so just thought I'd say HI and see how everybody is tonight...:)

no biggy ellie,besides it's a great way to learn

yes, i'm sorry, i should have said instant messenger.

thankx RR

You have to message Fancer and he'll email you the address. Either go to contact and send him an email, or on the FAQ's theres a link to send him a message about membership. :o)

Ive been here over 3 months and I have yet to see an address to send my membership check to..anyone know?

When Ellie said IM I believe she was referring to Instant Messanger. if you shut your modem down you cant connect to the net nor here

Thx for your response to this.
I am merely trying to detect if the problem was on here or its my ISP giving me grief again as usual.
I agree, fencer do need a break & could do with some appraisals from us all for what he has achieved here. I think he is a great guy & has created the best site on the net.

thankx ellieoop...by shutig down my im...does that mean internal modem...are you saying my cable box...slash webtv will actually become faster on the system or just faster to respond on the uploading time ????

i have had no problems at all, i'm moving right along, i'm on a classic webtv. i know if you shut your im off, the longer it's off the faster it becomes.

Fencer needs to take a holliday People so lets try to give him as little as possible to worry about...I'm sure we can take at least one day to let Fencer do NOTHING. CleverHunk seams like we need a few more crazy and/or bizzarre jokes and/or tall tails.Radiant give us a passage...
Maxxina help me here...
DreamBear,Hannelore,ellieoop and the rest of you others what have you seen or heard that would give us a break from the troubles that Fencer has for just one day.

I'll second that, it was worse yesterday.

I am using broadband ( cable) also. I've had this same problem for 3 days now. Its becoming frustrating is'nt it ?.

same here, I'm on cable modem.

DreamBear: i'm having the same problem, can't even get to my Friends list etc...(just blank page) But even moving from games to main page is taking ages :(

Fencer, I am experiencing severe slowless on here & very often get just blank white or grey screens. Is there a server problem on here ? Just thought I'd check before I jump on my ISP's back again.

no, it is displayed as
100 < BKR < 2700
or
100 <= BKR <= 2700

the 100 < BKR < 2700 can be rewritten as two restrictions
100 < BKR
and
BKR < 2700

Therefore, 100 has to be less than BKR, making the BKR above 100, and BKR has to be less than 2700, giving you a rating between 100 and 2700 :-)

If all else fails, the first number is the lower limit, the second number is the higher limit.

(by the way, to enter the "<" or ">" symbols, type "& lt ;" or "& gt ;" (without the spaces).

<Just under...
You can also set additional conditions to fit your requirements of opponents. If you don't want to use them or they seem to be too difficult, just click on "Continue" button and leave the rest of this form unchanged.

...in a game invite, you can play against rated players that match these settings...could someone explain this, because I think it should be...

100 => BKR = 2700
not
100 = BKR = 2700
As it doesn't make any sense to me.

Thanks
Dave

Hannelore,you have just stumbled onto the truth.the pillsbury dough boy is the alien leader of a plot to take over the earth.he & his agents are from the planet "generalmills".like in the invasion of the bodysnatches.reports of people being attacked by grand bisquets,buttermilk biscuits or dinneroll tubes have been have been reported in canada & the USA.infected by this alien dough,people are turned into fashion & decorating zombies.
caution,watch for symtoms of:
wanting to move furniture.
increased desire to shop at escada & the gap.
thinking donna karan is kool.
understanding calvin klein.
awakening desire to see martha stewart topless.
using the expressions "la dolce vita","chic" or "pret-a-porter".
this did not work on you Hannelore beacuse you aleady have great buns.

My dear friends,
I must share this story.
          This morning I went to the store to get some much needed items, and of coarse things I didn't need too.
          With coupons in hand I proceeded down Isle one. With my coupon for Pillsburry Grands Bisquets, I went to reach for one, when suddenly there was a loud explosion and I was hit in the shoulder. Hard enough to be jolted back. I thought I had been shot! As I looked at myself, checking for blood or what ever, I find myself covered with dough. People surrounding me to see if I am ok. The manager and employees instantly there. Everyone asking me if I am ok. Mainly because I was crying. Needless to say, I was laughing so hard I was crying. ROFLMAO is what I was doing. I had to assure the poor manager that I was not sueing anyone, I am not hurt, just had the living crap scared out of me, and probably will be laughing about this for days to come. They picked up the other end of the tube 20 feet away. I only thank God that it was not some other person shorter than me, being 5'8" tall, that it could have hit them in the face and really hurt someone. Still LMAO
The only thing that hurts now is my abdomen from laughing so much.
NO CLEVERHUNK......THIS WAS NOT A BLONDE MOMENT.
LOL

No , he hasnt , he is doing everythink alone . Yeaa on server he got help , but fencer is programming everythink alone.

I hope fencer has a helper or two,he sounds busy.

I will add some system to delete unused accounts. Later. I am really overloaded with more important requests.

I mentioned this WAAAAAYYYYY down the board, about people signing on and never playing here. I also suggested that they be deleted if they haven't played in a certain time. I suggested this during the time when the site was down, up down.....

I think login names not used in 120 days are deleted at some places.is this not true?

NightHawk1958.. even if Fencer was to try & be fair by allowing us 1 paid & 1 unpaid membership for a partner or other member of family etc, no doubt there will always be the sad ones that like to cheat & spoil it for most of us honest supporters. maybe someone out there has an idea to help overcome this problem without it getting too complicated ?
I have 2 pc's , 1 of which I use with membership & the other my partner uses. see we could have 4 memberships at once with no problem !!

Fencer...we all seem to agree with DreamBear,but how can we help solve the problem,I've looked at the "who's here" list and there are those who have signed in signed out and that's the last of them,they're taking up space to were other could be...we know the the more names you have the popular the site becomes,but if your not going to to participate then you souldn't be here and if your using more then two names (BOTD) then you should be as most of us two people...DreamBear i to belong to IYT and know that one payed/one non-member should be enough for some,but it seem some people are just plain greedy.

Thanks for the reply, RR. After clicking this and clicking that, I finally figured out how to post a game to the waiting room.

hi Mo. click on New Game to the left of your screen.. it takes you to the list of all the games here.. choose a game then click the blue link at the game u want to send an open invite too.. if its say chess you will see the game board an word Chess in blue.. click that blue link.. it takes you to the area where you set up your invite.. Hope this helps!

I'm brand new to this site (a regular player on the IYT site) and I've started a game from the Waiting Games but what I would like to know is how do I put a game in the Waiting Room? I've looked around alot but have been unable to find the info about it..........including the FAQs. Thanks in advance!
