Please dont confuse me with F*Y*T*...or otherwise the woman now known as X...I had absolutely nothing to do with her!!! LOL...she had real problems!!!!

I havent read these message boards for a while & what a shock when I did! Too many people with too much time on their hands getting irate at things that arent so important, are they? Well everyone, I wish you all a Happy, Peaceful & Respecful New Year! And just enjoy having fun being able & lucky enough to play games on a great site! :o)

Was she one of the ones who were cat fighting on the IYT "other web sites" discussion board?

Hi Fencer, Happy New Year to you! :o) My checkers game against Scarecrow has 'timeouted' & Im not sure if its due to the system bug you mentioned or not? The game ID number is 9516. If its my fault, then my apologies to Scarecrow.

Lamby: Restored. And Happy New Year :-)

Fencer....thanks so much for the "help". Your site is awesome and I must say even though I am new to all the game sites I LOVE yours the best. The only thing is.....you should have a warning label added....."This site is addictive!" LOL

Oh yeah.....I just want to say "Bye Mr/Ms Potty Mouth." :) I wouldn't want anyone to think I am rude! LOL

I asked a couple of friends to join brainking, i just caught up with them and they said they had. I asked them for there i.d's and tried to search for them in the search box on players list, but came up with nothing. So i went through the names & i found them - is this a problem you know about Fencer ???

I noticed that with the search box on the Player List it does not always come up with all the players that match what you type in. I'm not sure why though!

Thanks Fencer :o) xxx

Yes, there is a little bug at the search method. I'll fix it.

poor bug... lol :p

Cheers Fencer :)

No, Badger came from GT, and went back there.
She is a real nice lady.

Yes, she sure is!! :-) It's too bad she's leaving (or maybe left already!)

I always wondered how it decided on what order to display these in on my game sheet. Seems to be a different order every day! lol

At least on my 800x600 resolution the 32 links to the 32 pages of players make the page too wide, so i have to scroll sideways to see it all. They should start going on the next line :-)

Kevin: Favorite Discussion Boards should be sorted alphabeticaly. I'll check it.
About Player List - yes, you are right, I'll probably give it a higher priority at my TODO list ;-)

Hi, thanks to a friend I am new here on the site. Looks cool. I am also playing at IYT, but since a new year asks you to take new steps and perhaps find new challenges, I am here. lol Well, anyway, just wanted to say "hello and have a wonderful day" and perhaps one of you would like to invite me for a game? :-)

Fencer, I do not "personally" have a problem with the brightness.. some of the people I play (or HAVE played) apparently have some kind of eye problems where a bright screen tends to hurt in some way, like give headaches, burn, make them squint, go crosseyed, I don't know, but it IS bright and must be bright enough to keep people from coming on to play cuz I just got another win by defalt (and you know that's not right).. also some people may not be able to make screen ajustments, enough to compensate without character component distortion.. my latest loss online was "mogal", and I'm talking about a "friend" here, not the game.. Now just wondering, is there a lot involved to implement a choice of color or different shade backgrounds..? Sorry Fencer, I'm not trying to sound rude, just trying to explain the best I can.. Everyone knows you work very hard on this site.. :-))

He did say (i think on this board) that if you go to your settings page, there is a darker colour scheme (with a grey background instead of white).

I DID say I "personally" don't have the problem..

I have to agree about the brightness but I am on a webtv and my screen is 32 inches so it's somewhat bigger to look at. But as Kevin said....or meant...that "anyone" can go to the settings page and change the background color. If it's that big of a problem then maybe he could make the main background color as gray and white as change instead of vice-versa. Maybe that would help to solve the problem.

I have only joined this site a short time ago, but I just wanted to say. this site ROCKS!!!...Out of all the sites I play at this one is by far the best....I have made some really good friends here already, everyone seems so nice.... :) Great job Fencer!!!!!!!!!...I look forward to the backgammon.... :)

Thanks Reds :-) Good news is that the Backgammon implementation is done and the game will be added within several days. It took so much time because the model is far different from "normal" games [chess, reversi] but it is finished. At last!

Well done Fencer :-) looking forward to it, keep it up....

I agree MadMonkey!!!!...And may I be the first to challenge you to a backgammon game?....As if ya haven't beaten me enough already.....lol..... :-)

Hi Fencer, nice to meet you. You seem to be the GameWizzard here. :D I like BackGammon, as well BackGammon Race. That is played on the same kind of board; so perhaps you could add that game is as well?
As for this site: I am enjoying myself here very much. You have created a pretty intelligent site! ;-) Keep going! :-)

I AM NEW HERE AND I LIKE IT VERY MUCH. I HAVE MET 3 NEW FRIENDS SO FAR. AND I LIKE THE GAMES YOU HAVE HERE. THE PEOPLE THAT I AM PLAYING ARE FRIENDLY AND VERY NICE TO TALK TO. I WISH THAT I HADFOUND OUT ABOUT THIS SITE SOONER. I HAVE ONLY BEEN ON THE NET FOR A MONTH. I LIKE PLAYING GAMES AND MEETING PEOPLE.

EDDIE, YOU HAVE A POINT THERE.

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!! :-)

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

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 :))

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.... :)

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 :-)

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?

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.

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!!

~*Radiant*~

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?

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?? :)

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!

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!! ?

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

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?!!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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
