Teema: Re: it is still a form of upgrading.

coan.net: Thanks for your post. My friend has managed to get into the site and play games now. However he is getting lots of problems where pages are not loading properly.

This is NOT a complaint but more of an observation. I too am finding that pages are not downloading properly and I get the long pause with just a white page and sometimes the page is distorted. As long as I am able to play the games it does not bother me.

coan.net: "Cleaning cache" can mean different things to different people. When I decide to clear cache I have several options which I can choose to delete or not delete.

Cookies for example. I usually keep the cookies of the sites that I more or less trust, such as BK, while deleting the cookies from all other sites.

Today just now I cleared cookies for BK, something I haven't done in many months. The site is now loading much faster than it was before, noting that I am one of the people who had problems with the loading speed of the site very recently.

*edit: I also want to note that I clear my cache every day, at least once a day actually. After clearing what I want to clear, I then individually pick out which cookies to delete.

It could be something else I suppose. I also rebooted, then installed a flash reader update, then rebooted again. I know nothing of computers really, maybe that had something to do with it instead, I have no idea.

crosseyed: Sorry I don't have any suggestions since "everything" has already been done on the users side.

With a site change, when the IP address moves with the site there should be even less issues - but something issues with Cache pointing to the "old" place can cause issues with a site only 1/2 working... but with that already done, I guess that will not work.

Also using different browsers to see if the issue is with the browser and not the site or computer would be another suggestion - but since that was already done, I guess that was not it.

Also having the user log in from a different computer (if possible) to see if the issue is with the account or computer is another suggestion - but since that was already done, I guess that was not it.

And of course the suggestion already made to try to log in to a BrainKing domain they normally do not use (which will hopefully be "new" to the DNS and retrieve all the new & correct information to the computer.)

... it's hard to try to help once everything has already been tried.

Fencer: Ok I accept that. My friend said he sent you message through the site so that confirms there is problem if you did not get it.

By the way I was not 'complaining' I was asking for your help on behalf of my friend.

Fencer: Thank you. My friend can get into the site sometimes but can't make play any games. He told me has sent you a message.

I sent you two message regarding this problem to keep off this board. No doubt you are being sent 100's mesages and can't get through them.

crosseyed: When it comes to computers, the difference between moving a site and upgrading a site can make a big difference in where a problem can be regarding access. This is not arguing, it is a fact of the computer age and of the www.

This is why I say "everything?" as sometimes (as I recall from past problems) a simple yet overlooked fix at your friends end could be affecting access.

As to be a know all.. no. Just someone (as with many people here) who knows how finicky computers and the web are.

(V): Or that there is actually a problem with this site. I and you are the lucky ones that can sign in and play games. I am sure there are many more than just my friend who can't get in that we don't know about.

It is odd that since Fencer changed things that some of us are getting problems with this site. I keep getting the long white page and the page take ages to download and other strange things happening with the site.

However even if it is Global it only happened when Fencer upgraded this site.

MadMonkey: I keep it in mind.

Bottom line:

As I have mentioned in the Server News, we are still in a process of tuning some servers parameters, just to make sure that everything is balanced to the best performance. However, it is very unlikely that if a problem occurs and it is actually caused by the site, it would affect only a few users. In 10 years of our existence, we had solved many bad situations and all of them had been caused by global issues - affecting the whole site.

By the way, I never said that I am the best programmer in the world who can solve every possible problem. If a buggy situation just happens and, after trying my best, I find out that I am out of ideas and no solution works, well, we must learn to live with it.

I have a 30 Mbps cable connection at home and although it is a very fast line, there are still many sites that work incredibly slow for me. I don't complain, I take it as a fact.

Dalmatiner: I've just checked your account, to make sure nothing is wrong with it. Logged in within a fraction of second, opened some games, browsed through various pages. No problems at all.

15. mai 2011, 12:42:49

Guys, please. What do you want from me, miracles?

As you can see, there are many people who confirm that BrainKing is accessible and fast for them, as usual. Our internal tests that are running continuously show that all functions work normally, there is no overload and data throughput is smooth, showing no anomalies.

I don't say that people who has problems are idiots or don't know how to use their computers. On the contrary, it is quite possible that BrainKing is slow for some of them, because that's how the web works, naturally. My duty is to keep the site alive and, if a problem shows up, try to solve it. From our perspective, nothing unusual happens here and something wrong happens outside the server, we can hardly do anything about it.

For me, it's different : when I use my laptop,it's rather slow but when I use my familial pc, it's very fast. I think it comes from the pc. On my familial pc, I've put a very powerful graphic card and that helps, I think.

Ok thanks Fencer I will pass that on. Thanks for the quick response. I have not had any problems and have been in the site several times today. The only thing I have noticed sometimes is the pages goes white and slow when I click to make my moves.

I have sent you a message with his reply to what you told me to tell them, to keep away from this board.

PS. My friend can sign in but can't do anything else.

Teema: Re: No access for some players.

crosseyed: From a user's point of view, nothing has actually changed, even the server's IP address is still the same. Host tracker confirms that BrainKing is accessible from everywhere.
As temporary workaround, ask them to try another domain, e.g. BrainKing.cz, BrainKing.de etc., just in case it is a local DNS problem.

Deb4858: The points are not really for anything...they are more of a personal challenge. Fencer (who owns BrainKing) has come up with a lot of different challenges (or goals if you like) that you can try and reach. For everyone you reach you get a certain amount of points.

Here is the page that tells you who has the most ----> Achievements

If you go to your profile, and click on the last Tab, you can look through all the achievements, and see which ones you would like to aim for
