Roberto Silva: Ummm maybe not BK's fault.. but, one could guess the upgrades could have some hidden bugs..

I upgraded to Mozilla several months ago since that is Fencers preferred.. and obvious outcome has been recorded.. I can still go back to IE and it is sluggish.. but, as of last week it is no fun to play my turns.. the pages slug to load and if I am lucky I won't be taken to a time out page.. That was almost right after Fencers admittance to upgrades of Mozilla.. and if he didn't upgrade Moz.. maybe he altered some nips for the recent frills of his site..

Roberto Silva: well like i said works fine for me

Jason: Well that settles it then. If it works fine for one person, then it's definitely not Brainking's fault...

works fine for me at home and at work , ;)

Please stop PM me and asking stupid questions as to why I post my questions or comments....

I would have thought it was obvious....Im one of the dissatisfied customers who cant get the GREAT service that the Dutch, Czech etc get.....wake up to yourself and listen to the birds chirping.....us birdies arent happy....our money is running dry....who is going to lose....not the minions...we can play 20 games without fear...who needs to pay for a site that cant deliver on its promises....not the majority it seems :)

Have a nice day :)

Adaptable Ali: regularly

I have quite a few Triple Dice Poker games, going at the moment, and the last couple of turns i have taken it has only allowed me to take one roll. Has this happened to anybody else?

ScarletRose: There are no bugs, there is nothing to fix, if it is slow it is our fault not the site or where the site is. Havent you been reading any of the messages? Its all in our minds that it is soo slow and laggy for us and that we cant get pages to load. Has nothing what so ever to do with the website or that every other site we go to works fine. NOOO it's our fault and our fault alone. Please read the past messages to learn that.  

ScarletRose: OOPS....are you allowed to say that?

I wish I could but I'm afraid to be asked to leave again before my membership runs out HAHAHAHAHA

When are the bugs or whatever going to be worked out again?? This is ridiculous.. I even have gotten used to Firefox.. but, anymore it is so sluggish here.. 

Interesting, I decided to "View Source" on the "DoBoardPost" page...here is what I got:
[html]
[head]
[title][/title]
[/head]
[body bgcolor="#ffffff"]
[/body]
[/html]

Note...I formated it to make it more readable and I replaced "<>" with "[]"" with "[]"

coan.net: Yes, there is another computer I can use (at work). It gives the same problem...

Other pages that redirect work fine. I'm at a loss. I would say it's the firewall at work, but the other brainking pages load fine.

coan.net: I find nothing better fun than

"giving the browner the re-direct"

Summertop: If there is another computer at your work, can you try that?

Why I say that is that it will narrow down if the problem is with your network (problem with all computers at work), or just your computer (if it works with other computers at work)

Other then that - I'm not sure. Sounds like it does what you want (like a post), but when the page then gives the browner the re-direct to another page - it stops there. My obvious question would be if there was any thing new loaded on the PC.

Well, more on the Blank Pages (DoLogin, DoMove, DoBoardPost)....
When I tried this at home, there was no issue. At work there still is...

I don't think the firewall is the culprit because all the other pages work fine. Even the Doxxxx pages work mostly, just don't redirect.

Host-tracker.com showed no problems.

I haven't seen this issue with any other web site.

Any other suggestions?

After the Speed & Site access problems a while back, i joined host-tracker.com , which was the site Fencer mentioned in his blog HERE

The last few days i have been having problem now, so when i can not access BrainKing, but can everywhere else, i ho there and run the test

I done these about 30 minutes ago:

Site Working

Site NOT Working

The site just came back when the 'Site NOT Working' one was running as you can see
Glad we are not imagining it

Summertop:  That seems to imply a problem with the server side scripting.

Well, sure enough...the DoBoardPost page died...but the post made it.

Well...WHEN a page loads, it loads fairly quick. But I've noticed LOTS of times when it just seems to stop with a blank (white) page.
Every page that starts with "Do" stops on me...
DoLogin
DoMove

I've tried FireFox, IE, Safari, Opera...it seems to not be a browser problem. If I refresh, nothing. If I manually go to the Main page, my action completed (made a move, logged in, etc).

I sure hope this posts gets saved, as I bet it uses a DoSomething page.

FYI...This started yesterday for me. Later I will try this from a different network. Currently I am at work and my firewall might be blocking it (who knows why).

nodnarbo: I had the same problems earlier but now it is literally flying. Considering how much info loads on each page, the speed is rather impressive.

Bernice: USA too, I've had too many times in the last 24 hours or so where I just get a white screen for too long, so I've been giving up.

The site's been flying lately, this is pretty disappointing

well we have Canada, England, Australia, and where Alanback is....so it is our fault....LOL...there arent any czech ones complaining, so it cant be world wide ROFLMBO

Well at least it's not just ME experiencing this.. It is so laggy and slow to load anything for a few days, well since the latest update  I would think.
But you all know we will be told to stop griping about it, that is it our fault not the sites.

Snoopy:  As a paid subscriber I'm not going to hide my complaints

MadMonkey:  I don't know, but I've been experiencing the same intermittent access.

Anyone know why the site keeps stopping ?
I have had numerous messages asking me, but have not been here much last couple of days so could not comment.
Been here 30 mins now and spent 20 of them watching the 'waiting for brainking.com' message on my task bar
I know there is a problem as when i get back my friends on line list is empty just about, for a few more mins while people try and get back (in fact Who is online list is almost empty as well)

alanback:  LOL, dont have the need for air conditioning over here lol

Adaptable Ali:  Make sure your air conditioner is not blowing directly on your desk!

Adaptable Ali: thanks :)

Hrqls: Thank you, i have left my post on computer board

Adaptable Ali: no problem with firefox at all .. using it now, but i am using version 1.0.3 so maybe there is a problem with version 3 ?

you might get a better answer at the computer board

Is anybody having any trouble with Firefox at the moment, can only seem to access the web via Internet Explorer, if i try Firefox my desk top freezes.

ScarletRose:

Yep, I experienced the same thing recently when I traveled and tried to use the hotel connection..

ScarletRose: it is funny you should say this because I have friends that also want to access BK, but cant because of the connection to an outside gambling site. and that was about 4-6 months ago, also there are players on IYT that have said the same thing.

I was just reminded of a problem I ran into about a month ago when I was out of town. I tried accessing BK from the Hotel Lobby where I was staying. Their program they had on the puter would not let me access BK. When I did some research into that problem I found it was due to the references you had or a link you had to a gambling site. Although, your site is not a gambling site you may be missing out on possible members if they have similar programs with the settings as such.

Just something I had wanted to mention.

I would like to find out if there are any players (Members or one trying to join) who can not because they do not use PayPal or MoneyBookers.(or any other method they cant use lol)

I have at least 2 players who want to, but can not, and apparently they know of others (but i can not comment on that).

Should this not be looked into ??

Surely the only ones losing out are Fencer & Liquid, and therefore BrainKing

I get numerous people telling me reason they do not join, and even some from IYT why they will not play here. I posted a Feature Request about that (a simple colour choice of pieces), and nothing happened so again BrainKing loses out.

Should we not try to build this great site up ?????

Maybe coan.net or Tanein can create a Poll of ways best to pay, just a thought

alanback: true .. linux is casesensitive .. so you can have those 2 files there .. when you then download them to a windows system the second file will overwrite the first one

alanback: As I said, those constraints are set by the file system, not the applications.

AbigailII:  Well, DOS is case insensitive, as is Windows with respect to filenames.  Obviously a case insensitive system would not permit you to create two different files named Foo and foo in the first place.

alanback: "Most applications"? I don't know any application that is case-insensitive with respect to filenames. I know *filesystems* that are, but not all file systems are case insenstive. Just image if you have files "Foo" and "foo", and your case insenstive application is told to do something with file "fOO". Which one will it take? "Foo"? "foo"? or will it create "f00"?

Fencer:  Any particular reason?  Most applications are case-insensitive with respect to filenames.  Although I guess server software is an exception, since I have to be careful about caps in the names of files I upload to my site.

MadMonkey: Right. I don't like capital letters in filenames.

Fencer, just checking, are out Fellowships icons case sensitive ? .gif is ok but .GIF is not

There is a very good word game on Facebook called "PathWords", you are against the clock and have to make as many words as you can, say within 3 minutes. At the start of the game, you are give a honeycomb type board with alln the letters, and you jsut have to make as many words as possible, ( i have jsut repeated myself there). You can play against as many people as you want. It is an excellent game, and i like it , becasue i am the top player there LOL.soooooooooooo any chance we could have it here lol

MadMonkey: That is very strange. I timed in some more games since early this morning and it was definately not my turn to move when I was last on site. I just played one game which had an hour left and it is only 12 hours since I was on

chenshap: Unrated players start with a BKR of 1300 and it is adjusted every time you finish a rated game, even if that isn t' shown until after you finish 4 games.

i couldnt get on for about 12 hours........but my opinion isnt warranted apparently......go to another site. LOL

chenshap: Unrated players actually have a rating, it just doesn't show until they complete 4 games

Mousetrap: All Madhouse weekly ones are 2 day (well they should be lol)

MadMonkey: Well however long it was it went very fast lmbo! Never mind it cant be helped. That is the reason why I do not like those one day games. I entered a Madhouse week tournie and did not realised it was a one day one. I will have to look before I leap in future.
