Is there a way to change it on this site? I am using webtv...

I know in Internet Explorer, the font size on a webpage will change if you hold down CTRL and use the scrool wheel on a mouse.

Since I do a lot of CTRL-C, CTRL-P (Copy/Paste) - I accedently change the font size on webpages every once and awhile.

Internet Explorer.

I'm not sure what IE is.. I went into settings and found no link to change font size, or view...can you give me more help? Thanks

If you're using IE, try going to View, Font Size and set it to Medium - that happens to me sometimes too... :-)

Is the font or something changed on the main page? My list of fellowships and discussion boards seems like the print is smaller, or thinner or something...anyone else notice this?

AD: Sounds like a server-side webcache (ala squid) which I've -always- had a problem with. S'posed to make your browsing go faster, but it's only ever caused me problems. :/

Fencer (re: paypalsucks): Just confirms what I've thought since the first time I went through their 'sign up now' speel (and followed some of the finer print). I've never had a paypal account, refuse to do business with anyone which requires paypal, and never will do paypal. :/ (Which is why I go through your customer reps. ;)

hmmm it was propel accelerator...something from my ISP I am trying out. When I disabled it, that link was fine. :/

strange....I just get an error and it's just on that page only. I'm gonna try a different browser. Thanks for checking. :)

I can see that game.

and cannot seem to reach it. I get:

Page cannot be found

I had a dozen or so games I was playing, all of the links were fine but this one. I've emptied the cashe, took out the trash, booted, and all that. Just THIS link is a problem. I've had this happen before. Can anyone else reach this and what should I do? :)

I read that site often - along with a couple of others... which is why I'm VERY carefull about what I do there, and if I accept them on my eBay auctions.

But persoanly, I have never had a problem with PayPal.

I was actually looking at that site earlier today when I was searching for information on money bookers, since that site has a list of alternatives to PayPal.

But I always keep an open mind, and I have been reading that site for awhile now.... Hum.... I think I might have even posted about that site on this site long ago... :-)

BBW: No details like that have been planned yet, I am currently gathering information :-)
Btw, speaking of PayPal, what do you think about this site?

Fencer - How soon are you planning not to accept PayPal/Swerg?

My membership is comming up soon, and even though I have not heard anything good/bad about this new site - I really don't like giving bank/credit card info to anyplace new (other then PayPal) - so I need to make sure I get my membership in before this changeover or I might have to go without a membership for awhile.... and I don't know if I could handle that! :-)

Bernice: There is no reason to use secure protocol on public pages :-) But after you log in, evrerything is done through https. I would use it on BK as well but the certificate is too expensive [800 USD a year].

I put in http://moneybookers.com
no https there:(
please who me where:) im havent been into the site in DETAIL

Btw, there is one interesting paragraph regarding credit card payments on moneybookers.com:

"Your customers can pay you immediately via credit card, even if they are not yet registered with Moneybookers. All they need is to have their mobile phone ready to allow us an instant transaction authorisation during the payment process."

How many people would provide their cell phone number for this reason?

Bernice: Who doesn't have https? Moneybookers have it.

the thing that bothers me is that they do not have a "HTTPS" security:(
but then what would i know :(

They want to verify your identity by faxing or e-mailing a copy of ID card with photo. I did it yesterday, now waiting for a response.

It looks like you don't need a credit card to add funds to your moneybookers.com account either - i was looking through it and it gave you the option of a credit card or bank account...

That's how PayPal works Kevin so you're probably right. Then, once the funds are uploaded, I can just transfer the funds to the BK account. Sounds easy enuf and if it works better for Fencer, all the better. It may create a problem for some that don't hold a credit card though. You don't need one with PayPal.

I took uploading funds to mean adding funds to your account (so you could pay someone directly from your account rather than with a credit card or whatever)...

lol Fencer - what about people who register on both...? :-)

It seems that there is a 3% fee to upload the funds (I assume that mean to make a payment...upload funds to make a payment? 3% is not much. One would need a credit card though (from the US))

I think anything you offer a little extra for Fencer, people will prefer to use.

Hmmm, what if I give some bonus for people who register there instead of on PayPal? :-)

You're welcome Fencer! Just glad i can support this site... :-)

re: moneybookers.com

I had a brief look at it, and from what i saw it looked good - very small charge to pay (1% to a maximum of 0.50 EUR), and it said you don't need an account to pay someone. The only bad thing is it doesn't look like they support paypal :-( Oh well... :-)

ahhhhhhh just had it pointed out, that not counted ones dont show up on stats. I didnt realise there was a difference LOL

Thanks

Unrated games show up on statistics.

Fencer,
do unrated games show up on statistics even though they dont affect bkr?
or do they just not show up on anything?

Congrats Kevin and thanks for your great support :-)
Now, let me describe my current problem. I am not satisfied with Swreg.org where I keep my e-store to process BK membership payments. That's why I am currently looking for an alternative.
PayPal is not possible, for some strange reason our country is not in their list of eligible countries.
However, I've found MoneyBookers.com which is suited especially for international users [me] and looks very interesting. Does anybody have experiences with them?

Well done you 4 :o)

Thank you for having this competition Kevin it was fun! And Thank You so very much for my membership!! :-)

Now that the payment has FINALLY been process i can announce the winners (in case you haven't discovered who they are...)

1. chrislim - 36,826 * 9 = 331,434
2. Bill Bevins - 39,226 * 8 = 313,808
3. SueQ - 28,420 * 8 = 227,360 (Submitted by BIG BAD WOLF)
4. PrettyBlueEyes - 12,526 * 5 = 62,630

Thank you to everyone who entered. I'm sorry i couldn't award a membership to everyone who entered :-(

For those of you in the fellowship, but have not seen the DB there yet, please read A.S.A.P. - Important Notice

be sure to put next to my link:

"submitted by AD" :) j/k

connect my links too! :) They're cool. The currency calculator is real handy. All in a day's work.

Oh yeah, Good idea BBW!

Good idea BBW.

exchange rates

they have an easy Currency Calculator

Hey Fencer - you should put a link to www.xe.com on the Paid Membership page - so people will have an easy link to convert membership prices!

Thanks BIG BAD WOLF :-)))

www.xe.com - Great "exchange rate" site.

16EUR = $19.28 US

Can some one please tell me how much 16.00 Eur is in American dollars ?

I do, Bernice! (But that really should be on the feature request board, and Goodfoods post should be on the tourney board!! *sigh* :oP Happy Easter!)

not being one to run invitation tourneys, as a suggestion maybe in the BK.v2

Put an option to invite your whole fellowship or similar,(and then delete the ones you dont require) instead of having to go into everybody's profile and send individual invitations...

just a thought....does anybody else feel annoyed (not annoyed, but grrrrr :) :)) at having to go into each individual profile???

hey, anyone still playing Parachute Checkers here, i have a tourney that needs players so ican start it, come on and join!!

from this point on, all Rook memberships will receive a bonus Queen every 10 moves
