for a period of about an hour today I had trouble making my moves-- aside from that one hour period, I have had no trouble for about a week straight. I think you are blowing the problem out of proportion.

The site runs fine from here (San Diego).

There is a page related to this topic: http://brainking.info/bugs.html.
Anybody who wants to complain about anything should read it first. I don't suppose that more messages like "this site is slow again" can make it faster.

It slows sometimes yes, but overall I think it functions well. Maybe your just logging in at a peak time? It cant be cheap to run a site of this nature, but Fencer is saving for a new server, so come that time even peak periods will likely run smooth.

Sorry buck you are having trouble. I just want to say that I hardly have trouble with the site. I am a night owl and when a certain other site is down or running slow most nights I stay right here. Maybe your pc is having troubles? Just a suggestion.

we all get a bit frustrated but you sound down-right pissed.....go somewhere else...*shrugs shoulders*

LOL, you lot will get me sacked!! (re:Christine)
Take it to general chat please!

WHat game are you all referring to?

For those of you who missed it the first time, here is a copy of my original message. You still have about a week to enter :-)

--------

I have deicided to hold a membership competition, but have decided against simply giving it to the person who is best at a certain game. I also wanted to keep it open to all pawns, regardless of whether they are in a tournament or not. Here's how it will work:
1. It is open to all brain pawns who are registered on the site as of the date and time of this message (to prevent people creating multiple accounts and entering more than once)
2. You will send me a message with the title "Kevin's Membership Competition". In it, you will tell me in 100 words or less why you deserve a membership.
3. The deadline for entries will be June 1 at midnight GMT. As long as the message is dated before then, it will be accepted.
4. There will be at least one winner, but could be more depending on quality and quantity of entrants.
5. Please try and use correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. If I can't understand it the first read through, i likely will not try and read it again.
6. Good luck everyone :-)

Congratulations to Christine!

I’m looking forward to the day I beat him myself – he’s an excellent opponent. :)

…perhaps it’s not over yet? Maybe he’ll be back…?(Well, I’d stay on my toes if I were you.)

Best of luck to both of you!

Congratulations Christine !!
Maybe I challenge him myself ;)

Dear Wizard, l have one as well, thanks for the suggestion though

Congratulations to Christine, even though this isn't the general board!! (so you still haven't honoured your bet, Christer!)

Christer, you are a fair player, and this is very much appreciated.
Christine

As the consequence of a bet with my opponent Christine, I engaged myself to put this message on the general board. I lost about 30 games with her, and she is the best of us. I can't beat her. I had to resign to her several times, and for me this is the ultimate defeat.
Christer

HAHAHAHA.....I have a mouse with a piece of cheese in its mouth and its head caught in a trap...will this help make things faster for me LOLOLOL....sorry harley this should be somewhere else i know but couldnt resist a bit of levity

Dear Blondie, I have a mouse with a roller wheel in it. This is excellent for fast scrolling. May I suggest you invest in one of these as they are relatively cheap and overcome your present concern. :O)

Thank you Wisperz and Harley for your replies

But you do need to read them nearly every day as many boards get more than 50 messages each day. When this happens you will need to go back a few (sometimes many) pages but then the "new" markings disappear.

You can also change the number of messages displayed each time too although I have left mine to the standard 50. I think if you change this it changes all the boards and I expect the more messages the longer to download.

Cheers W.

Sorry, no there isn't. But its easy to scroll down quickly and stop when the 'new' sign disappears next to the post!

Is there a place that l can change my settings for the Db's?
When l come to the boards to read them lm reading responses before l read the question (if you know what l mean)
The first message is usually the last responce to a discussion, is there a way l can change my setting so the discussion lm reading is in order instead of haveing to scroll to the bottom and read up

lmao we will do voodoo dances to de-jinx em!

Rose, I know; I always take my umbrella with me, when the temperature is in the 90s. And leave of the thermal vest when the skiing temp goes below zero! How do I de-jinx these mach4 moves?

yea it is shhhhhhhhhhhh dont jinx it!!!

well i'm glad to hear other people are having the same problem with seeing the same game with same dice over and over. I thought there was something wrong with my computer, but all in all this is the best site i've played on, everyone envolved in making this site job well done :)

Is it just me - or has the speed of this site improved today???

me too. so how do people still manage to enter hundreds of moves on a day like this? beats me.

OMG me too! i played one turn with Grillyx 5 times then i said screw that er.. i mean forget that! delete delete delete! lol

Rose: LOL, i have been here 4 hours & made 30 moved in 30 games, funny things was most of them i played the same move between 2 & 6 times, depending how the server was lolol :-)

The Glemlins are at the server again today.. all day I have been able to play about 8 games.. im going stir crazy an loco! hahaha i need my fix!

CleverHunk: I meant send me a message - like a private message on this site :-)

CleverHunk, I'm not sure whether Fencer is considering any multi-player games, though I believe at some point he intends to introduce battleboats. If you have any suggestions regarding any games in particular, you could post them up on the Feature Requests board.
