same thing bunch of code and #'s for every ones.. betcha fencer can fix that quick enough!

I cant call up anyones eddie, just get error come up ???

yes i can not see yours madmonkey...thats weird...

Is anyone else having trouble looking at profiles ??

Oh, sure :-) Sorry, I'm a little tired, I was finishing Backgammon etc.
About GT, I've just tried to log in and it really shows that their database is down. Strange.

I thought Silkwood meant it was a virus on our PC's that was preventing us from entering some sites. Not that you had a virus here Fencer! :o)

No! Our server cannot be attacked by a virus, it doesn't run under Windows :-) There was some general hardware problem with the connection abroad.

Are you saying its a virus causing the sites to be down? For so many of us?

Tony: Monthly, for the beginning.
About site down yesterday - there was a non-planned malfunction of our server-housing provider and we did not know about that because it happened during night [of our time zone]. I apologize for that.

Theres a link off this page for a free trial of Norton anti-virus, I downloaded it but it won't open. Has anyone else had a problem with this?

This new virus , you do not have to open the attachment to get it, just viewing the email will activate it. Make sure your Anti-virus program is up-to-date. For more info. go to:

game hackers? lol me wonders!

Its funny you should say that Rose, i was just thinking the same thing LOL :-)

this is bizarre last nite brainking was down most of the night for me.. today I cant get in to GT.. get the red screen about database unavailable

Yes, I had the same problem, I thought I'd messed the PC up with messing about trying to change the font size!! Which, by the way FENCER.. I hold you completely responsible. If the site wasn't so addictive I wouldn't be falling asleep at the keyboard and messing the font size up in the first place!! LMAO!! It took me ages to remember there were other sites on the internet I could try just to be sure it wasn't the PC at fault!!

Great tourney; thank you. How often are you planning to run these? Like weekly!!??

I was similarly afflicted; where do we addicts go when our fix is withdrawn?

Was I the only one last nite who couldnt get in here to play at all? I tried for 4 hours from 7PM to 11pm ( AST) some times I could get the page to load but when I clicked a game the message would b page not found. Very frusterating!

Fencer.....thanks for clearing things up for me. I think it was great that you gave non-members a taste of what their missing. I wasn't sure if I would like having more than 20 but I really am enjoying it. :) I think it gives non-members who are playing their limit of 20 a chance to see if they are even going to like playing more games. Oh yeah.....and you have really been working hard and doing a great job fixing the problems here. It shouldn't be long and maybe you can have a rest. LOL

Please dont ask me how because I'm not 100% sure!! I tried a load of different things and came back on and it was ok!! thanks everyone!

Mom: Yes, it is a drawback of non-paying members. And tournament games don't override normal games, this is just a special situation for this first tournament only. Shortly, everybody could join a tournament although lots of players didn't have enough empty slots. But there will be some restriction check on next tournaments. I have to think it over.

Are you sorted yet, if not drop me a line.....

Ok....another quick question....I just had another tournament game pop up today. LOL I had a game that was finished and then this one popped up. Will the tournament games override all the other games after we are finished with them or are there just so many tournament games that we can play at one time? I'm not complaining....just confused. LOL

Fencer....just wondering exactly how the tournament games work for us non-members. I did notice that when I finished a game with someone that I couldn't start a new Non-tournament game. LOL I was afraid there was a mistake or something when the tourny games started. I played as quickly as I could with whoever was on line at that moment afraid that I would get in the middle of a good game only to find out it was a gliche. ROFLOL I've never been in a tournament game before but I absolutely LOVE the games and the people...win or lose! Do we have to wait to start normal games with others until our numbers are below 20? Thanks in advance. ;)

rebooting wont work.. ifyou already rebooted its a setting that has to be changed back.. contact your aol browser tech support an they will help you out.. I have never even seen an aol browser so cant help.. sorry

Thanks to you both, I'm on AOL and I seem to have slightly different toolbars to you, I dont have a view, and the 'font' on my internet options shows nothing about size, just style. I'll try a re-boot (again!) and see if it helps. Thanks!

No Idea how Radiant would know I knew.. like to hear that one! BUt yes I do know.. go up to View
then Text Size click smaller.. ( my guess it is saying larger or largest right now)

THis is my 3rd time typing this out.. it keeps disappearing.. I cleared my cache and likely its my browser.. Hope this works for ya!

Hi there - is this keyboard problem of yours already solved? Have you tried to reboot? It must be something in the configuration of the pc. I had that big time problem once at work. I cannot remember how they called it - oh, wait, think they called it: "safemode". Sounds familiar to anyone?? Anyway, I remember I had to reboot and let the computer fix the files (like you do, when your pc has crashed) When it´s finished, you have to reboot again and hopefully it will start up with the normal lettertype. This is all I know.

If this doesn´t help, perhaps Rigattoni Rose knows a better solution? :o))

GoodLuck!

That looked like jut what I needed but its not working!! CTRL & C - then left shift, CTRL and INSERT... my middle light doesn't come on like it says then CTRL and F11 does nothing!! :o(
I tell you what though, this would be great for short sighted people, if I ever figure out what I did!

hrlgrqnrslh, try to take a look at this link..I dunno if its a keyboard problem or what, if it is..this might help:
http://www.comfortkeyboard.com/reset.htm

MadMonkey, I just checked GT and its gone big there too!! I hadn't realised, I've not got off this site since it happened!! Any ideas? Anything would be a help!!
Aurora, I shut down last night thinking it would be back to normal this morning but it isn't. Is there a reset button on these keyboards?!!

Hi there - is the text problem just in BK or on everything ??

ROFL..thanks..always nice to be of SOME sort of help..I had a almost similar expirience once..my CAT walked the keyboard, and I couldnt write any text at all!! rebooting helped me then, but this sounds a bit trickier!! ?

LMAO LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!! Aurora, thanks, you always make me laugh!!!!!! Shame you can't get my text back to normal as easy as you get me laughing!!! Thanks anyway! You're a star!

hrlgnrlh, Im no computer wizzard, and unfortunately I can´t help you in this situation other than offer some moral support, : maybe considering the state of awakeness you play games in, that big text aint all that bad,?? :PP ::) and who konows?? next time you doze off, you might lean on the right keys to get it back?? :)

I leaned on my keyboard last night (falling asleep!!) and I've no idea what keys I caught, it was somewhere around the CTRL/shift/Z/ keys... but all the text has gone HUGE now and I can't seem to change it back!! Anyone know what I can do to get it back to normal?

Thanks, Fencer & Kevin - looks great! Congrats on the tourny and the new games. I am sure everybody here will appreciate them very much!!

And yčs, it´s true KATHYR, me too, I only played and talked with very nice people.

God bless!!

Rose: Yes, for this very first tournament. The next [regular] tournaments will probably follow some restrictions according to the game limit of any particular membership.

YOU probably answered this question before.. If i am playing 48 games regular and tourney ( I am allowed 50 games in my membership) and I get to round 2 of say half the tournies I joined.. am I allowed to enter round 2 even if I havent enough space in my membership and it would take me to say 60 or more games?

MadMonkey: Exactly. I think that it is better than remove such players from the tournament because of not enough empty slots.
And upgrading is a good idea :-)

Your quite welcome Fencer!.. :-) Kudos on all your hard work....I'd also like to wish everyone good luck in the tourney, well not too much, cuz I wanna win some....lol.... :)

Just a quick question Fencer. Are any spare spaces in normal games taken over by the Tourny ones ??? I had just one normal place left last night, now the Tourny has started i have 26 games which is 6 over my limit of 20. Does this mean i won't be able to start any more normal games until i am down to 20 again ???
p.s. When i get my Bank sorted, i would like to upgrade :))

Um, I've prepared Nackgammon and Anti Backgammon so far. Race is a good idea, I'll try to add it ASAP.

Raidant: Fencer did talk about adding backgammon variants, but never said which ones. I imaging backgammon race will be in there, but can't say for sure. Welcome to the site!! :-)

EDDIE, YOU HAVE A POINT THERE.
