MadMonkey:I'm impressed with its loading speed. Also pdf's open much, much faster with the new FF. Also less wait time for pages to open from email ( clicking links in email used to take quite a few seconds, now they are nearly instant)
So far I like the latest version.

paully: I find it far faster than Firefox 2.0, and it is meant to be. Every Beta version i have tried is great. PLEASE remember, this may not be the final version released, it is a complete version of everything that has been developed and there may be bugs about. If worried, wait till the final release date which hopefully will be later this month

MadMonkey: disregarding the extensions, is the version 3 Beta better than 2 for web surfing?

hmmm found it

BrainKing Bookmarks 1.1.1 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.0

Can someone give me the link for BrainKing bookmarks Extension please so i can load it onto Firefox 3.0

I hope developers hurry with compatible Extensions for Firefox 3.0, out of 29 i have installed only 4 will work with it

paully: Click "hide chat box" link below the chat box.

srnity: it looked like it was still active though so I assumed I was still logged in to the chat

paully: Can't you just click on anything (such as "Main page") and waalaa?

how to leave the chat room once in?

tonyh:  Perhaps. but unless it is a Java application or something other than HTML, it still reloads the entire page.  That site may be faster for you than this site for a number of reasons.

alanback: but does it have to be that way? On Gameknot, you can make your chess move and then press 'Submit' and it is much quicker.

tonyh:  Because it's not a backgammon board, it's a page of HTML, and every position has different source code.

Thanks. The game ID is 3116225. It was one of the first games I started on the site- I won't do it again!

Why does a Backgammon board reload every time one moves a piece?

Nilz: I can delete the game if you give me its ID.
However, that's why every no time control game invitation contains a warning in a bold red font.

Is there a way to force a win over an opponent in a game where no time control is used? I'm a brain pawn, so I only have 20 slots, so I need to get rid of this game, because my opponent doesn't visit the site any more. Is there any way to do that or do I have to resign?

MarkSteere: "Search in posts" just below the new post form?

Is there a feature to search the discussion forums? If not, can I suggest that?

Roberto Silva: true .. i visit brainking.nl from work with ie and from home with firefox

and occasionally i visit brainking.com as well (with either browser from either location)

Fencer: Speaking of statistics.... do we have a calculation for a persons average daily moves anywhere?

Ceiter: But the same user could visit BK with IE on one day and Firefox on another. How would that compute?

rabbitoid: It might also base results on IP addresses. In that case, users with IPs that change periodically (like dialup AOL users, for example) would skew the results, but probably not horribly.

I've seen a lot of similar statistics that explicitly say "unique IP addresses", so I think it's fairly common practice.

rabbitoid: That's why I was writing about BrainKing "visitors", not "users".

Fencer: If it is an external S/W then it's certainly per hit or per page. It wouldn't know about your users.

rabbitoid: Well, I have to read the log analyzer documentation to find out how it calculates the results. But your idea of adding a BrainKing statistics page of browser usages is good too.

I'm somewhat sceptical about your figures. Can you elaborate?
How do you define "use of a browser"? global number of page requests or per user? since heavy user X will use the same computer, browser and environment (most of the time) he will bias the statistics to his browser, no?
Still, the data is interesting. Could we have, somewhere in the statistics, a breakdown of the use of browsers?
By the way, the "Statistics" doesn't show as a link on my page, but maybe that's only because I'm condemned to IE6 at work . Never mind, I can still see it using the address http://brainking.com/en/Statistics

oh wow, yes i have lol

gogul: aw thank you very much

Adaptable Ali: This one? http://brainking.info/archives/510-Advertise-your-BrainKing-photos.html

I deleted the post about how to add the pics on your messages, please could somebody point me in the right direction, thank you

MadMonkey: I have now. Cool! Thanks.

MadMonkey: Ok!

Mousetrap: Did you not read Fencers Blog lol .......................go look now

MadMonkey: How did you do that?

coan.net:

Vikings:

Bernice:

Snoopy: welcome.........it is your fault, and there is noway it isnt....we all have been told at different time.s...why I have even been told....."go to another site", you arent wanted ROFL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHGAHA

joshi tm: I did it once, but you can easily find out how many are active.

Go to Players List

Sort by last action

Then just start going back pages at a time and you can roughly figure out how many have been on in the last week - the last month - etc....

Totaal aantal spelers: 66666, waarvan op dit moment aanwezig: 120 // Number of players: 66666 , online 120

Congratulations for having another milestone reached! But how many of these accounts are active?

Hrqls: thanks everyone for all your suggestions I have tried them all and still no luck, no smileys for me :( also just noticed that I no longer have the rich text editor for the message box)

Snoopy: please could you try to clear your browser cache ?
also try to press ctrl-F5 which might help when graphics arent loading

beach: HI.mine are the same way no smileys in blank box also that dragon dont go across the top as it used too.i am using the same IE 7 as you too

beach: See if you have any windows updates.. usually tools to win updates.. or you can check to see if your java needs updated.. not sure what system you are running or what other online gaming you do.. I don't mind helping you with your internet option settings.. it is under the Tool Menu as well..

Can someone help me my smileys haven't worked since last Thursday, when I click on them just a blank box opens up, I am using IE7,

Roberto Silva: Yes, that is why Byes are often seeded in Tournaments, the higher rated seed normally go through

As in football, the Top Teams normally do not have to qualify, Golf, the Masters, Top seeds do not have to qualify, it is common place in the world of Sport Competitions.

On BrainKing i do not think seeding (even done by BKR) is fair though, and it probably would have to be just Random, but at least EVERYONE gets to play.

Anyway, if i dont make it a Private Tournament, i will give up on the idea & will award the Prizes elsewhere. People here are all to happy to look backwards, not forwards

Its such a shame, i have just been asked by someone that if they get a life membership, could we use the 10,000 BKR points as Prizes and Memberships.

Well, we know the answer to that now....do not bother

MadMonkey: I think your idea would be unfair because some players would have to win more matches to qualify for the Final Elimination while others would qualify by winning shorter tournaments.

I like rabbitoid's idea though.
