I think they're in ascending order by "fellowship ID" number.  I don't think that's configurable by mere mortals.

Does anyone know how the order of our favorite boards and our fellowships lists are determined, and if there is any way to change the order?

Vikings: it does take some getting used to.

tippyc: you mean you feel like your going like now?

after reading all of this, i turned off the castle, and i like it

Bubbles Pbarb2: Someone's going to have to say how this was solved.  I feel as though I've been reading a mystery today, and need to know how it ends!

With the help of Czuch ..we got it off the castle. Greatly appreciated..Czuch. It seems to be working a little better now.

Vikings: Too late.. I already packed up that old box.. lol... It wasn't on the log in page I had, though. (Though, on webtv I have the friends page saved as a favorite.. so that's where I was entering through.) I doubt it would have been anywhere. Some things you can't switch with WebTV, don't even show up as choices.

rod03801: How about on the log in page?

Bubbles Pbarb2: I dunno, Barb... I am on my old webtv right now and I don't have the castle. But I also don't have the choices to switch styles, here or on my Settings page.

I switched to computer just in time! I don't know how ya deal with the new look on the TV screen. It's SO squished. Everything looks so much better on the computer screen. And I forgot how S L O W this is.. LOL..

Sorry, Barb. You might want to PM Fencer and see if he made some change. My only suggestion right now is to Power off completely and come back and see what happens.

Like I said, on webtv, I'm NOT seeing the castle theme right now. But that could be affected too, by how I have my settings. (Which I can't change all of them right now because with WebTV some settings don't show up since you can't use them)

Time to go back over to the computer! Sorry, I wasn't much help.

Vikings: It may not show up on WebTV like that. Give me a few minutes to finish my coffee Barb, and I will hook up my old webtv and see.

Bubbles Pbarb2: it's on the same page directly underneath the choices that you mentioned

Bubbles Pbarb2:
if you can see them then directly under them is the 3 fonts castle simple no fronts

Bubbles Pbarb2: I know Rob knows it all but he is not on.
I can get to the settings page. No problem there.
On top of that page it says this ..
Calendar
JavaScript
Game filter
Game settings
I have been to all of the and it does not show anything about the layout.

"Snoopy": you should see towers on either side of your page if you are in the castle layout, snoopys link should take you right to where you need to be, if not, you may have to ask someone that is more experienced in web tv. I know chucz has some experience in web tv

http://brainking.com/en/Settings?a=df&fwa=Board!bc=1#
this link may work

Vikings: I don't even see a castle. I just know I'm on it because in my games it says layout castle. My games are so slow. I can't get half way thru my main page and and it locks up. All I know is I have to get off the castle.

Bubbles Pbarb2: on every pother page other than your settings page it is in very small fonts

Bubbles Pbarb2: on the first page of your settings, at the top is says Main Layout and under that it shows you a picture of the three choices that you have, you probable accidentally clicked it on another page by accident while the page was still loading

Is there something I have checked or unchecked On my settings that shouldn't be?

Bubbles Pbarb2: I't possible that web tv cuts off the top of the page, try logging out and looking in the bricks at the top of the castle, click on "no fonts" and then logging back in

"Snoopy": All I have is Moderaors.. THen it goes to interviews. Hn there is a Red thing Rss Or R55. That is it.

"Snoopy": that's true, in fact, I think it is at the top of every page

Bubbles Pbarb2:
its at the very top of most pages on this one its above the brainking.com

Bubbles Pbarb2: very top of the page

Czuch: Where?? I don't see it.

it's also on your log in page

Bubbles Pbarb2: It has 3 choices, castle simple and no fonts

fakar10: I have been there.. but I don't see a place to turn it off. What am I looking for?

Bubbles Pbarb2: You can choose the layout here: http://brainking.com/en/Settings

How can I get off the castle layout? I am on Webtv and can't use it. Somehow I got on it. I need just the regular setting. Thanks
BARB

"no question to ridiculous", I'll be the judge of that

"Snoopy": When was that ???

I'll be arranging the questions for Viking's interview this weekend.

So, if you want to ask him anything, just send your questions to me.

No question is too ridiculous, no question will go unused (well, some might but you'll have to send them to me first to know which ones )

Thank you.

"Snoopy":  You mean the speed of your connection to the site?

speed of site is back to normal

pauloaguia: Good question.. I just checked IE and it doesn't do it in there, it word wraps how it should.. Tho I hate to use that browser
Yes, the 1024 is the very outer edge of the browser with scroll bar.. Must be something that FF cant handle when I force a different width in. Not a huge issue, just wondered if anyone else had experienced it.

I just read an article about how scientists say that time doesn't exist. And now I come to the site and find that time has stopped... just great... makes me wonder if I should be reading any scientific papers before playing my games

Rose: Does it happen in other browsers?
Maybe there's something in the page forcing it to a width over 1024... and when you say 1024, is it the outer size of the window or the size of the inside (that is, including the window frame width and scroll bars or not)

Any one else had this happen?

I have my screen resolution set to 1052x864.. I have my browsers set to 1024x768 ( to view how pages look when I design them)
In my games all my previous messages are missing text off the right edge of the page. If I resize the browser to the full length of the screen the text is all there. I resize it back to 1024 and 4 or 5 words per mine go missing. It doesnt word wrap. Anyone else seen this happen or is it a phenomenon to me only?

aaru: Looks like somebody has been trying URL hacks and, of course, BrainKing does not handle all possible situations 100% correctly.

Kunoichi's test tournament 1
It's bug?
It's mean that Kunoichi is tournament winner?

Kunoichi: I know some members alreay do that sort of thing, using test accounts. There is a simple thing to do to avoid the suspect of cheating - only play unrated games.

Kunoichi:  Seems like these questions should be posed in a private email to Fencer.

---Original post deleted--

Understood. I will ask Fencer then.

Ronin: Most players who do that have way to many games going for them to handle. So they play only a few every day, usually those that are closer to the deadline.
Seeing that you aggreed on the time limits when you started the game, you really should have no reason to complain.

Nowadays, whenever I create game invitations I set them to 2 or 3 days time per move, so that my opponent will move faster. Some "slower" players will avoid such games, while some others will prefer them to the slower games. Especially if you allow them to take vacation days, which is the default setting anyway. So you really have nothing to loose with trying different time settings.

P.S: try to stick to the board's language. You'll get more replies that way

pour moi , le seul problème de lenteur que j'ai sur ce site c'est pour les parties..............il ne me reste que des boulets qui jouent leurs parties à raz le temps limite

MadMonkey: There are no secretes that Fencer does not know about

Who you write to or what you say to them

Fencer: I am glad it was you that said that

Hey !! Is that Beastie a friend of yours ???
He just gobbled me up in both our games (someone check the code lol)
