Luke Skywalker: Sorry, I was thinking of the knight memberships that get 20 days per year.

Luke Skywalker: No, it's not possible.

harley: As a pawn I only have 5. I haven't used them this year and I'd like to set them now for the christmas holidays, but if it was possible to carry them over I'd rather do that to get 10 days next year.

Luke Skywalker: No, on January 1st they start over so you would have 20 again, regardless of how many you have left now.

can unused vacation days be transferred to the next year?

Fencer: what about donut froglet then? (where's the donut smiley?)

There's no hope for the lot :P

Pythagoras: or by using the right proxomitron filter

wellywales: If he uses his eyes only. If he uses his brain too: http://brainking.com/images/smileys/4.gif.

Fencer: He is a pawn, he cannot see your winking eye

Luke Skywalker: If you call it Taurus Froglet people will be asking where the bulls are. ;-)

Luke Skywalker: I don't want to have it mathematically correct. There are many people who don't know what a torus is but everyone knows a sphere.

Fencer: of course you are free to call it anything you like, but I thought you would want to be mathematically correct.

Luke Skywalker: No, I like sphere.

should be called torus froglet

plaintiger: This is a side effect of one recent bugfix and affects only older messages.

i just got a message saying "the game is a draw" for game #1216857, part of a hyper backgammon match in which my opponent won both games.

first, the messages announcing results should refer to matches as "matches" rather than "games" (there's a difference), and second, why is this thing saying the game *or* the match is a draw? a drawn game is not possible in hyper backgammon, and the match was not a draw, but a rout.

thanks...

Tuesday: Both of us no.

Harley!!

May the bad girl have one??

Hey Fencer can you answer my simple question i asked in the Pahtum discussion board ......?
Curious as always......

The www.brainking.info site could contain the site down message, for people who might think to check that site. I often go there when the site is down to check. (Though nothing has been put there in eons!) :-)

Marfitalu: Fixed.

Fencer: OK, thank you

Princess Alison: Working now.

Fencer: I went to click on the link for your wife's art site, but it takes u to the log in page of Brainking

You are right madPhilip I didn't thought of that......

Pythagoras: In case of a hardware upgrade there is no server to put such page to.

Since i didn't noticed the warning about the hardware upgrade, i was trying to connect but i couldn't. Since this happens from time to time (BKR recalculations,upgrades etc) and when i try to connect no page appears, and since i usually don't read the announcements, when this happens i don't know the reason and start to think possible causes like if my internet connection is the reason if it's only me etc.

I think that if something like that occurs that would make the site being down for a while, you should have a page that would say site is temporarily unavailable for 2 hours etc.......


Also what is this small dot in the top of the cursor, while i'm writing here....?

thanks , glad i checked on that ;)

Jason: No.

is game time suspended for ponds too ?

harley: That indeed does it. I didn't know that was possible. I must've hit both at the same time and didn't realize it. Thanks

Walter Montego: No, they haven't changed. If you have a scroll mouse, try holding down 'Ctrl' and scroll up or down, that will change the size of the text.

Have they changed, or'd something happen to my computer?

thank you both, that helped:)

Fencer: LOL....I'll keep that in mind!

Fencer:

Kipling: "You guys are on the ball" sounds funny when I translate it to Czech exactly, word by word.

Fencer: WTG!
That was quick. You guys are on the ball, and I thank you.

Fencer: LOL...I should have read this!

wellywales: There seems to be a wrong constraint in the database structure. It will be fixed soon.

Fencer!, Thanks for the server news, but when I click on "Remove", it does not

ellieoop: on the setings page, sort games by time left ascending, that should get you what you want

Howdy ellieoop, The column titles "Game Event Opponent Your color Move Time left" are links. Whichever you click is how the list will be sorted.

The green light indicates a time control with fixed (ie. Sat/Sun) weekends and no other vacation days allowed. More info here.

my game sheet was in order of games with shortest time left on the top, and now they're all mixed up, and i can't remember how to fix them in settings. also one game has 26 days and a green light, what does that mean?
thx. in advance, ellie:)

Fencer: OK, thank you for leting me/us know

Stevie:

Princess Alison: Liquid was upgrading the application server and forgot one config file. Nothing serious.

Stevie: probably when all of us over here log on, huh? : (
