alanback: If you upgraded from Firefox 1.5 and still have problems, I recommend to uninstall Firefox and make a fresh installation of the 2.0 version, with no third party extensions. I had big problems with all pages, not even my bookmarks worked, until I did so.
I find that the message boards aren't working properly with Firefox 2.0. When I click on "reply", the page refreshes but no message box appears. I have to click on "box" to get the message box. In addition, when I want to edit my own previous message, when I click on "edit" no message box appears.
The possibility to sort the playlist by priority. First klicking on timeleft, then games, to keep the sorting by time with playing only backgammon for example..
How many pictures does the "image history" show for a persons icon?
Suggestion: Since the picture is still on the server and already approved, I suggest that there be an easy way to "select" one of your old icons rather then having to upload the image again. For example, after maybe putting a seasonal "Halloween" picture up, it would be easy to go back with a simple click to your old icon.
of course saying that, there should probable be a limit on how many icons the server will hold or you know you will get the person who will upload 30+ icons for them to keep choosing a new one each day of the month. (maybe a limit of 5 or 10) [10 icons since they are small, 5 big pics since they are bigger]
BerniceC: The crazy frog icon upload was successful, at least. I think I'll add a MIME type of the submitted file to the error message, so you'll be able to report it and I'll know what is wrong.
wetware: i had the same problem where it wouldnt accept any JPEG file so i altered it to a GIF file and then it worked but the clarity of the pic isnt as good
Fencer: I'm also having a problem with the "change icon" function, receiving a message: "This file type not supported."
I was sure the file was a satisfactory JPEG. So I even tried re-submitting my existing icon file (which presumably should be okay), and got the exact same error message!
maybe cheaters could also be banned from any games where the BKR of their opponent will be affected, as if they have falsely built up their BKR and an opponent loses to them in a legitimate game then that opponents BKR would go down more than it would of done if they hadnt hyped up their BKR - hope that makes sense lol
MadMonkey: or corner lines of action would be good (6 pieces each in opposite corners ) or even a fast version of the game only 8 pieces each instead of 12 each (4 on each side of the board ) more people might play this one because it would be a quicker game . ps this one could also work for a fast scrambled version .
BIG BAD WOLF: I like the idea. Lines of Action & Scrambled Eggs are both great games and could have many good variations.
I was thinking of a variation, that would place a certain ammount of random holes on the board. In other words squares where neither you or your opponent could go. Obviously your gameplay would have to change for every game then, as every board would be different.
Sorry, no link to this game since it is something I've been thinking about for awhile.
Game: BrainEggs (or Scrambled Brains)
Board: Same as Scrambled Eggs (or Lines of Action)
Goal: To capture all your opponents pieces. (instead of just connecting all of your own) With it's unique way of moving pieces, I believe this would be an interesting game.
alanback: Another feature from DailyGammon which might be a bit more difficult to program, and which also reduces the need to swap dice, involves entering from the bar. A player who must move his piece from the bar is not required to do this as his first move, as long as he does it during the current turn. For example, I have a piece on the bar and the dice are 5-2. I could enter with either the 5 or the 2, but I prefer to enter with the 2 and use the 5 elsewhere. DG allows me to move the 5 first, after which the only permitted move will be to bring the piece on the bar in with the 2. This does not effectively violate the rule requiring the piece to be entered from the bar before any other move is made, because the two moves are unrelated.
On Dailygammon, as here, the server presumes that you intend to play the first (left-hand) die first. However, if you click on a piece that cannot move the number of points shown on the first die (e.g. because the destination point is blocked), then it automatically moves the second die instead. (Mechanically this is accomplished by inserting a link on the board for the second die when the first die is blocked, rather than inserting no link as is done here.) This saves a lot of "swap dice" clicks. Could that be implemented here?
pauloaguia: Yes, thats exactly what i mean. At the moment it looks like the game number corresponds to the number below it, where it doesnt. With the game numbers in the centre column and the Game score either side so they will still total up to the Match score at the top.
alanback: I am going to try and solve it on my side and get it uploaded somehow lol! If not I will just have to give up on that particular icon and try again with another. Thanks very much for all your help! You too Fencer!
Mousetrap: Well, you have basically two options. One is to insist the problem is on the server side and never get your icon uploaded. Or, you can try to solve it on your side. Try re-saving the file in one of the other accepted formats (e.g. gif) and uploading that file. Or convert it to another kind of .jpg (e.g. by changing the level of compression, size, etc.) and make sure it is re-saved as a jpg before uploading.
Mousetrap: It means the file is not recognized as a jpg, gif of png image. Please make sure it can be viewed in some image editor before you upload it.
I am having trouble uploading a jpg icon. It does not matter if it is the required size of 40by50 or 200by300 or 100kb and below It still says this file cannot be supported. Where am I going wrong? Thanks very much!
skipinnz: If you mean the number of started games in our profiles its ok for me . Personal data | Finished games | Started games (20) | Tournaments | Fellowships | Stairs | Boards
The number of started games is great idea, but can it be moved, so that it's on the same line. I hope it's not the way I've got my fonts set up but it, is on the line below started games next to tournaments.
Ämne: Different BKR calculation formulas for different games
I'd like games such as backgammon and its variations which depend a lot on luck to use a different formula for the calculation of their related BKRs. I know it has been asked already, but I thought I'd remention it.
Fencer: Like lots of Rooks i have alot of games, i also try to play Pawns and new players. Would it be possible to have a option/tick box to move games against Pawns to the top of our Next to play list, they tend to get a bit lost in all the other games. As a Pawn can only have 20 games max, it can get rather boring for them to wait for games against Knights, Rooks etc...to come back to them. This can work for good, by trying to urge them to get a paid membership, or bad just totaly put them off all together. To me the more games they play or different types of games they can play or learn, the more chance there is of them buying a paid membership.
mctrivia: Thats what was mentioned before, to set tournaments, invite & accept members etc.... It would hopefully save having to find a temp boss if the Big one was away etc...
