You can also set additional conditions to fit your requirements of opponents. If you don't want to use them or they seem to be too difficult, just click on "Continue" button and leave the rest of this form unchanged.

...in a game invite, you can play against rated players that match these settings...could someone explain this, because I think it should be...

100 => BKR = 2700
not
100 = BKR = 2700
As it doesn't make any sense to me.

Thanks
Dave

no, it is displayed as
100 < BKR < 2700
or
100 <= BKR <= 2700

the 100 < BKR < 2700 can be rewritten as two restrictions
100 < BKR
and
BKR < 2700

Therefore, 100 has to be less than BKR, making the BKR above 100, and BKR has to be less than 2700, giving you a rating between 100 and 2700 :-)

If all else fails, the first number is the lower limit, the second number is the higher limit.

Fencer, I am experiencing severe slowless on here & very often get just blank white or grey screens. Is there a server problem on here ? Just thought I'd check before I jump on my ISP's back again.

DreamBear: i'm having the same problem, can't even get to my Friends list etc...(just blank page) But even moving from games to main page is taking ages :(

same here, I'm on cable modem.

I am using broadband ( cable) also. I've had this same problem for 3 days now. Its becoming frustrating is'nt it ?.

I'll second that, it was worse yesterday.

Fencer needs to take a holliday People so lets try to give him as little as possible to worry about...I'm sure we can take at least one day to let Fencer do NOTHING. CleverHunk seams like we need a few more crazy and/or bizzarre jokes and/or tall tails.Radiant give us a passage...
Maxxina help me here...
DreamBear,Hannelore,ellieoop and the rest of you others what have you seen or heard that would give us a break from the troubles that Fencer has for just one day.

i have had no problems at all, i'm moving right along, i'm on a classic webtv. i know if you shut your im off, the longer it's off the faster it becomes.

thankx ellieoop...by shutig down my im...does that mean internal modem...are you saying my cable box...slash webtv will actually become faster on the system or just faster to respond on the uploading time ????

Thx for your response to this.
I am merely trying to detect if the problem was on here or its my ISP giving me grief again as usual.
I agree, fencer do need a break & could do with some appraisals from us all for what he has achieved here. I think he is a great guy & has created the best site on the net.

When Ellie said IM I believe she was referring to Instant Messanger. if you shut your modem down you cant connect to the net nor here

Ive been here over 3 months and I have yet to see an address to send my membership check to..anyone know?

You have to message Fancer and he'll email you the address. Either go to contact and send him an email, or on the FAQ's theres a link to send him a message about membership. :o)

thankx RR

yes, i'm sorry, i should have said instant messenger.

no biggy ellie,besides it's a great way to learn

just wanted to say HI to everybody...never wrote anything on here before...so just thought I'd say HI and see how everybody is tonight...:)

Welcome to our "Little Corner" of the net Dakota Spring. Have fun. ☺

I plan too :) Thank you for responding Ian...
maybe we can get a game later :)

A guy walks into a bar and orders 6 drinks for himself.
The bartender says, "Looks like you are having a bad day !!!!"
The guy says, "Am I ever!! To start, I woke up late for work. On my way to work I got in an accident. When I got to work I was four hours late, so the boss fired me. Then to top everything off I came home to my wife in bed with my best friend."

The bartender says, "What did you say to your wife ???"

The guy says, "I told her to get out, and I never want to see her again..."

The bartender says, "What did you say to your best friend ???"

The guy says, "I said BAD DOG !!!!"

you're a sick sick man...so what does the cat do for fun...lol...oh I forgot do you have fish too...lol

LMAO.

you are a sick puppy...lol

are we having fun yet...LOL

Anyone know how long it takes for mambership to become active after using a credit card to join?
Thanks.

As soon as your transaction is made you are automatically a member.

For me, it was a little over 24 hours before I saw my pawn change to rook.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with this site. :-) I'm from itsyourturn and Im choosing to be a member here rather than renew my membership there. This place has so many features that I wish IYT had... Seems like a real community! I stopped visiting the message boards there because they seemed to turn into angry, confrontational places. This seems like a place for people who love good clean competition... I look forward to becoming a very involved member of this community! I'm a total game addict. :-)
Fencer, you ROCK... :-D

There was an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish confessing to adultery.
One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!"

Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say instead that they had 'fallen'

This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well until the priest passed away at a ripe old age.

A few days after the new priest arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned.

"Mayor, you have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep telling me they've 'fallen'"

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code word. But, before he could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at him and shouted, "I don't know what you're laughing about, because your wife has fallen three times this week!"

Happy Sunday all ;-)

Fencer: I have noticed a couple of things the last few days that i am not sure you know about.

1. When trying to add someone to my Friends list, i get HTTP 404 - File Not Found, then if i log back in it has added them anyway, just wondered what was causing it ?

2. In any of the Gammon games, if you lose the first roll of the dice or you can not make a move on your turn, all of (*) signs seem to vanish from our drop down box, till the next game.

MM :-)

MadMonkey, I came on to add that very thing, about adding friends. It also happens if you try to add favourite boards.

Also... my favourite boards keep disappearing!! Right now I have none listed, I go to main page and they come back!!

Two tourists (from Florida) were driving around North Wales when they stopped at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (it's a real place!) for a meal.
One of the tourists called the waitress over and asked, 'Can you please pronounce the name of the place we're in very slowly?'
'Of course,' replied the waitress, 'It's Burrrrgerrrr Kiiiiing.'

Ok, ok, I'm going....

Oh now come on, MadMonkey - chwarae teg. With your jokes you haven't got any friends to ADD to your list!!!
(Only joking, MM - you're on mine. And red dragon's. And that creature from the Everglades - or is it Disneyworld?)

hi fencer..i have an idea.how about a tournament consisting of each player playing 1 game of each of all the games,or just all games in each game catagory.whether or not you like this idea,can you tell me,is it possible to create a tourny like this?anybody thinks this idea is ok?

I think its a good idea, wouldn't it be quite easy to have a tournament with all games, and only have an option of 'sign up for all games' at the top of the tourney page, instead of signing for individual ones? It would take less time and for us fanatics that love all the games it would be a great tourney!! Nice idea, CleverHunk, I like your thinking!!

got it sunday...

WTG eddie :-)

harley,thanks for the positive attitude.my idea exactly was a tourny that was each player playing each game once with each other player.but this would really be a marathon.more realistic maybe would be this idea,but for just each catagory of game.eg.:a backgammon tourny consising of a match that was 1 of each backgammon game variant.

thank you fencer for not giving anyone any static about posting jokes.it makes for a nice community feeling.many site operators become great control freaks with many irrational rules about what can be said.people leave real fast.as long as its not vulgar or hate-mongoring.what's the harm.
anyway,my idea,how about a separtate board for "game humour".
also,how about,each week fencer,posting on a board a question.members can post a humourous answer.you could decide on the"best answer of the week".
example question: did you take out the trash?
example answer:yes,to a dinner & a movie.

cariad.
Try & pronounce it after a few drinks down the local. LoL

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't it slow the site down the more chit chat stuff is on it?

text box posting online takes up less lag than a game move I was told.but the diff is negligible.anyone know he truth?

Ian - Unfortunately the 'local' is 'The Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Arms'. As a Welsh speaker, the Llanfair PG is ok - it's the 'Arms' I have trouble with!

And the legs.

Wow! Congratulations Eddie! You have my vote for BrainGod status.
I'm still lingering on BrainDead status - but you've given hope to a mere mortal!

clever hunk, yes, I guess that would be more realistic and manageable for poeple. I'm a total game freak and wouldn't have a problem signing up for EVERY game type!! LOL!! But I know some just enjoy one particualar game type. I think its a great idea. I could always sign up for each tourney in every category, it would still take a lot less time!!

Have never played this before, read the rules and trying to now. Its says its my turn & to place a piece on the board, but it won't let me - any ideas anyone :-)

If you're trying to place your first piece anywhere other than k10 (bang in the middle) it won't let you.
Hope this helps :) xx

Niki: OK OK LOL - so i can't read :-) Thanks, guess you want to teach me a lesson at that now as well ?? ;-) x
