Do you miss something on BrainKing.com and would you like to see it here? Post your request into this board! If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board.
mctrivia: I agree. Mctrivia, I'd like to say, after one and a half bottles of cheap Italian wine and a Fellini film, that your attitude has always impressed me. You are a good person.

In four hours, in the Czech Republic, it will be April 2nd. I hope that the banner at the top of the main page will be gone by tomorrow. www.getridofit.cz
redfrog: Rapid Logik? Most of my Logik games don't see a move 7; isn't that rapid enough? (However, it still needs as many clicks as your average Anti-Backgammon game...;-))
Well - we have tons of variants that create new strategy or put an emphasis on certain aspects of the game - how bout a variant for Logik? My suggestion for the variant is to not be allowed to use colors more than once.... this still allows for the needed strategic analysis, but could allow for much more intense and rapid gaming....Rapid Logik, Rigid Logik, Locked Logik, Logik+, hmmmm - i dont know what to call it.... but i like the idea....
Harassed: All images should be cached by the browser by default. It is obvious because when someone updates the icon, other users still see the old one (cached by the browser) until they clear the cache or force a full reload by ctrl-f5. Which is another issue and will be addressed separately.
Cannot the BK image caching be somehow forced by HTML code? Or it is just a problem of internet browser? I find it annoying when those backgroud images always keep downloading and Maxthon (IE core) often crashes when user action is executed until page is fully loaded. OK, may be Firefox is better solution...
Fencer: I would like a filter on the game page for all games not with this player. would be great for when you have a lot of games with one person and you want to play on all the other games first.
Fencer: emmett's request sound good, but I would prefer a complete filter builder, even if we have to wait longer for it. Otherwise we will end with a lot of separate requests, like : 1) Filtering by a range of time control 2) Filtering by vacation / no vacation 3) Filtering by week-end days / no week-end days 4) Filtering out Fischer time controls 5) Filtering out games without autopass 6) Filtering by match type 7) Filtering all but random colour games
Well, basically, every create game option could lead to a filter. Personally, I would probably use at least 1, 2, 3 and 5.
is there a way to set a color for waiting games, i find myself clicking the opponents games and wondering why i can't move, i guess the line separating the 2 is not working for me. perhaps if the line was in a bright color it would help.
This has already been adressed in http://brainking.com/en/ReadBug?bgi=1164&utf=GO and I agree that it's not a bug - but it's still an unresolved Problem. (In Go 13x13 (heyo vs. goldhaus) my opponent wants to prove that he just can't loose) My suggestion to handle this: after the game has ended and players don't agree about dead stones both are forced to place at least one stone befor they may pass again. A player who can't legaly place a stone looses the game. This may lead to a new problem if the game's ending is slightly in favor for white (only by komi), but would solve the problem that by the rules as they are now nobody can ever win a game of GO if the opponent doesn't agree.
I think it is set up now when a bug you have a message in has a reply, an e-mail is set (which depending on the e-mail, can easly get into bulk/junk boxes to never be seen)
Why not just send a message to the users Message Box when a bug they have a message in has an update? That way it would be a lot easier for them to follow up on a fixed bug, or if a discussion has started about a bug.
Fencer: Since you seem to be online, any interest in the idea of a feature requests tracker ? It got buried deep in this board, but the thread is here : http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=3&plla=709992
Would it be possible to have Waiting Games entered by someone who has not been on site for months automatically removed from WG? For example those by this player who hasn't been online in 7 months.
Fencer: Nothing but the submit button! The board is important, the submit button is. *Most* moves aren't send with a message, and if you're going to take the time to type in a message, an extra scroll is relatively not much extra time.
on the old style and now on the castle style, there was/is a link to the Languages page, which I use frequently for the translations. Why is there no link to it on the main page in the simple style?
Fencer: Even though this is slightly different then what is being talked about right now, I would love to request (again) a quick submit button above the board - and that is all. Always in the same place.
Then leave a second submit button below the board like normal with the text boxes so if we do need to write something, we can just scroll down and do it like normal.
On the page were you submit your move could we have an extra form with a submit button in a division that is normally hidden? That way those of us that would like to see it at the top of the page could just make a css change to get it there?
You know - for a few days - especially when it would switch back and forth - the new style was annoying - but ive already gotten adjusted to it - im a big fan now - thanks fencer....
The old presentation made it obvious which were Backgammon and which were Cloning BG games, The new blue top and bottom borders on both games is a definite confusion. I have just played three Backgammon games as if they were cloning backgammon, because of the top and bottom blue border. Can we PLEASE have some sort of obvious differentiation on these game boards?
Maybe the message subject, on DBs could show up 'below' the commands (like show messages from this user, link, etc).
The way it is right now, the subject gets kind of lost in all that clutter. And maybe a small vertical space befor the subject would help too. (Using simple mode)
Most people access data like "finished games" when when checking out people's profiles. That information is still easy to access without scrolling down even with the large picture.
On the javascript settings, there is an option for "show large icon on profile page". I always wondered why the large icon was not shown even though I chose the option to show it.
When people want to see a "Description" on the profile page, they would still have to scroll down anyway.
Well, it is an option in Settings. I think it looks better that way, but I have my option in Settings set to have it bigger. If someone thought that it took up too much space, then they could always choose not to have the large image displayed.
