bouncybouncy:I think it definitely should be visible for all users!  What would I need to see my own images for?

King Reza: hmmm, maybe to see which ones u have used previously

King Reza: Oh yes would be nice to see them all, although I'm still with my first one. Another point: once a pic has been aproved and is stored on BK, it wouldnt be necessary to aprove them again, we could change the pics instantly.

bouncybouncy: With the possibility to change pics instantly we'd had a nice way for further expressions ;), hi there :)

gogul: That would be cool - maybe allow a user to have up to 5 at a time that they can "choose" from, so if someone wants - they can switch back and forth between the 5 all day long... since they would already be approved, it could happen right away. And of course the same approval if you add a new one to the list - after you remove one of the 5 to make room.

Of course it would only work for some people since some users browsers will cache the old image and will not see it switching all the time.

Another thing I would LOVE to see is if a user can have 2-3 personal "smilys" that they can choose to post in the post, and only they can use.

gogul: I think being able to have , like an album on our profile where we could store, say, 10 pics, say 5 icons and 5 larger pics, so they could be used like a slide show, if you know what i mean like harry LOL

BIG BAD WOLF: smilys 2 3 of own and no one else could use them? what if I have 2 the same as you? but if you had them as your pick i can't use, no way... what happens when all smily's are dished out and theres 100 plus that can't use them. maybe i need better explain of that,thanks!

its ok i will only want to use i have them patented now lol

bouncybouncy:

bouncybouncy: yes you do have them in control.lol

I noticed that after making a move and before submitting it, I am informed that something called autosave is disabled. On my settings page, I have the option of enabling it. But what's it for? What is being autosaved?

Lawless: the messages you can type to your opponent. If something goes wrong while you're typing the message and before submiting the move, You'll be able to restore what you had already typed.

The Finished games tab of Profile pages has been improved by a simple form ban this player from BKR charts for a selected game.

I can't find it

WellyWales: because only Liquid and Fencer can see it

imsoaddicted: Yes! sorry, I thought there was a form where one could submit cheaters

WellyWales: You obvioulsy havent read the blog properly

nightmagic: Well the 2 or 3 that you find and upload to your profile, you would be able to use. They can be the same as others, but if I have 3 of my own loaded - lets say all different "wolf" pics, I can't use one of your personal smileys that you have saved.

BIG BAD WOLF: but if i would have saved the same image as you did, and stored them in my 2 or 3 pictures, then i can still use them

so if you use a picture, i can download it, submit it to my own list, and use it as well :)

WellyWales: Whats the sence of taking them off the charts.They can still play.They can knock down other players BKR's.Just go to WINNERS on your game sheet.You don't have to be a computer expert to figure out who your honest skilled players are and those that are not.

"Have Fun":I went to the winners page, but I see no relationship between the winners page and the honest or dishonest players.  Could you explain more?

BIG BAD WOLF: ok, cool

King Reza: Sure just play some of them & find out for yourself.Or you can go through many many games.Which would take months.

My girlfriend (whom I live with) recently planned a trip to New York and Toronto. She started a BK account so that we could play and chat while she was across the country. Her name on BK is ultramarine. Our first few moves were from the same IP address (our home computer) so that I could show her how the site works. Our subsequent moves were made from different locales.
Is there a way to register couples and families who use the same IP address? When she comes back in November I would never want anyone in BK adiminstration to think that I cheat.

emmett: i dont think it will be a problem as there are quite a few users who share the same pc and i have not heard of them having a problem or been accused of cheating

It shouldn't be a problem, me my mum, and my dad all play on this computer, although we don't tend to play each other very much anyway... really only to try out new games or if we end up in the same section of a tourney but other than that we don't play each other very often.

has anyone played demonviper? i have a stairs game (backgammon) against him and he still hasn't made a move.

jessica: Try the Missing people discussion board.
This board really isn't for that. :-)

jessica: its a stairs game , i guess people get removed from there once they are inactive for so long , is there a stairs discussion board where jessica can find out more ?

Jason: http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=enstair

Unfortunately there is no removal of inactive players on stairs, yet. I would imagine Fencer will take care of this at some point.

In the mean time, maybe there should me a message on the stairs recommending people check the profiles of people they plan to challenge to see if they are active players first...

I have a WEB TV-PLUS unit and it seems to take a long time to load up as compared to other game sites I play at, Are you not compatile to WEB TV units?

california man: There is a web tv-fellowship. Club WebTV

california man:And, BK is compatible with WEB TV as far as I know.  Maybe you can check your settings page and uncheck the BK big picture.  

In have had 4 pm's today from friends who have said that i have disappeared from their friends list, and i have also noticed that some friends of mine have disappeared from my list too, is there a bug??

bouncybouncy: I can still see you just fine on mine

california man: Brainking is very compatible with WebTV! :-D

Click on "Settings" in the main menu. Then go to the "JavaScript" section. (3rd tab, I believe) Be sure everything in that area is shut OFF. If any of it is currently on, that would most likely be your problem.

If that also doesn't help, then go to the part of settings where you can turn off the banner ads, and shut them off. (I believe this is in the first section of Settings).

I will also send you an invitation to the WebTV fellowship!

Personally, i like the blogs, most of them are interesting or informative. Can't we have our own BlogBoard ?

MadMonkey: good idea MM, a discussion board where people could place links to their own blogs or websites - you can then learn more about BK members if you wish - the only problem would be moderating the links as to ensure they are of a suitable content to be advertised on here

Fiona: I would Moderate with help, but Links will allways be a chance you take anyway, as they are with the boards we have.
You could have them to your own sites or blogs as you say, or just something that you wish to voice your opinion about.

Tuesday:The deadline for Chuck's interview is November 1st.  And, I don't understand what you mean by interviewing them live. 

SO SEND ME YOUR QUESTIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Tuesday:Well, we can agree on a shorter deadline.  One week for people to send questions, one week for the person to answer them and 2 days for Fencer to post it!

But we may get fewer questions.

King Reza: There's always the option of adding questions to a finished interview, isn't there? Perhaps dating the newer ones? Or does that ruin the interview?

Walter Montego:I don't know.  I have no control over the posted or waiting-to-be-posted interviews.  But I'm sure fencer can add to them.  Or maybe he can give me permission to edit them and add to them.

King Reza: I'm thinking that editing a finished interview might change it in ways that would defeat the purpose of having the interview in the first place. As for adding questions to afinished interview, it'd be hard to say if that's a good idea or not. Maybe it's best to leave it as it is and have the deadline come. That way you can continue on with the next interview or do other things.
