Antje: why not try the American Express money order, it should have a inexpensive fee

how does the international wire transfer work? when i go to my bank to transfer money to a european account, each transaction costs 60 USD. so i dont want to pay that amount to renew for a year over and above the cost of Brainking. is there another way?

ok, but i cant make a payment until a new method is found. Money Brookers requires a european cell phone number, which i dont have, i have a credit card, but how can i use it here? ive looked at your link, gogul, and it lists the representatives for other countries.

Antje: Select your payment type:
Wire transfer (only in Czech Republic)
If you can make a money transfer directly to our bank account, take advantage of this fastest way of payment.
Bank transfer via MoneyBookers
This method allows you to make a money transfer in more than 30 countries using local bank transfer with minimal fees. It requires to create a personal account on MoneyBookers.com. The basic amount is defined in EUR but you can pay in lots of other currencies using the current exchange rate.
Wire transfer (international)
If you have neither a credit card nor a PayPal account, you can make an international money transfer directly to our bank account. This operation usually takes 5-7 business days and the price is a little higher due to additional bank fees on our side.
American Express Money Order
If your bank provides this service, you can ask it to make this kind of cheque (American Express Money Order) for me (Filip Rachunek) as a recepient. Then send it via a standard mail in an envelope (ask me for my postal address) and when it arrives, our local American Express office will give me the money.
Money order
You can also send cash money in an envelope if you are not satisfied with any previous ways of payment.

I believe that fencer has also said that he is looking for a new way to pay also.
I wouldn't believe that about the Americans, this is a business

I´m not sure if this link is up to date.

can anyone tell me what to do about renewing? since Paypal is no longer an option, what is everyone on the american side doing to pay? ive heard some rumors that the americans arent wanted on this site?? is that just something someone said, or why cant americans pay online now? or am i missing something?? obviously by mail isnt a good idea, ive always used paypal with Harley, but I understand she has left the site? what is everyone else doing?

rod03801: There have been at least a few posts in the past about it. From what I have heard, it is not a top priority for Fencer.

Summertop: I posted a bug report to bug tracker a few days ago about this. I haven't heard anything back about it yet. :-)

Summertop: You buy a 1 year membership and then click on quantity 2.

On the tournaments page, there a several tournaments where the due date was as much as 80 days ago. One of them (64 days ago) is even complete. Yet, they still show up on the list. Is there something I am missing?

Czuch Chuckers: Can you see me?

Czuch Chuckers: It seems they are gone now from my friends list...is it a different script how these two lists are updated?

I see friends online, yet when I look at my online opponents, they are not on that list?

KotDB: well, that's backwards according to every other instance in which i've seen an arrow used to indicate the order of a list in a computer UI, and it's also counterintuitive. an arrow indicates that whatever it refers to goes in the direction in which the arrow points; where this is not the case, the arrow is meaningless. an upward-pointing arrow indicates that a thing - in this case, the list - begins at the bottom and progresses upward. if the arrow goes up while the list goes down, one of the two is backwards.

an alternative is to do what Apple does in iTunes and Mail and other apps that let you order lists by column: use a triangle. the point of the triangle, being narrowest, indicates the smallest value in the list and the base, being widest, the largest. so a right-side-up triangle indicates a list ordered from A to Z or from lowest value to highest, and an upside-down one indicates the reverse. thus if you interpreted the triangle as the head of an arrow it would be consistent with your ascending/descending theory - but it's not an arrow head: it's a triangle, whose gradual change in width represents relative values in a continuum.

so if Fencer just hacked the stems off the arrows and left the triangular heads, the problem would be solved. :)

plaintiger: That's not a bug. An arrow pointing upward indicates that the list is sorted in ascending order, which in this case means that the earliest dates are shown first.

hey Fencer - i just noticed that the little green arrows that indicate the order of lists are backwards...or at least one of them is. i saw your post in the black rooks fellowship about the counter and link for paid memberships, so i went and had a look at the list of black rooks, then i ordered the list by "first login" to see where i fell in the whole thing...and noticed that the green arrow was pointing upwards even though the list showed the oldest first login at the top and the most recent first login at the bottom. when that's the case the arrow should be pointing downward, and vice-versa. thanks... :)

Fencer: thanks

Vikings: It should be fixed now.

Fencer: I have ponds that are 4,5 and even 8 hours behind when the next round should have started

Vikings: Why should game time be suspended?

baddessi: Aw thank you, its good to be back ( think) lol

Is game time suspended? at least for ponds?

WatfordFC: Don't know if I helped, but it's nice to have ya back to talk with anyways

baddessi: Ok, it seems to be ok now, i just shut the site down. Thanks for your help anyway

WatfordFC: hmmm..well my guess is that it's not your hard drive. I'm having the same trouble..thought it was my cable internet...the pages seems to load slow and you get a blank page between the loads?

baddessi: Its a brand new hard drive only got in all installed today :o(

WatfordFC: have you tried cleaning your cookies and internet history?

Not sure if i am on the right board for this one, but i will try anyway.



When i take a move in a game and i click "move" to go to the next
game,i get a completely blank page. Is anybody else having the same
problem? Thanks.

Czuch Chuckers: think of it as a summer vacation. Isn't everyone entitled to vacation, especially when they cover the boards in their absence?

gogul: Point is that it doesnt matter where he is, pawns are not allowed to be board moderators, and especially ones who are not even here for a month.....

WatfordFC:

WatfordFC: Welcome back!

Rose: actually, I read that this is a temporary situation. Reza posted somewhere on here that his membership is pending while he waits, and even on his board posted that he assigned Walter there in his place for now. Just to let you know : )

Czuch Chuckers: What´s your point? Wont Reza be back after a month or so?

WatfordFC:

Marfitalu: No, he isnt wrong. It is an oversite. It would be impossible to spend every day watching every board, every board moderator to see if they are still members. The members that go down to pawns should alert of us that I suppose.
Now that everyone is aware of it it will be corrected.

Marfitalu:

I thought pawns were not allowed to moderate public discussion boards?

alanback: The fact that we can never buy more time is what makes it so valuable...

I must respectfully differ. A commodity is a substance that is standardized; one unit is like any other unit, which enables commodities to be traded in public markets at quoted prices. To be sure, some information is a commodity; that information which is freely available, now more than ever due to the internet. However, the most valuable information is that which is unique and not generally available; that is what can be sold at a premium price. That is why there are laws protecting "intellectual property". Therefore, while commodity information no doubt has value, it is not particularly valuable; and the most valuable information is not a commodity at all.

Time could be regarded as a commodity, since many of us sell our time at fixed prices, albeit over a wide price range. Few if any of us are able to sell our time at the price we choose; the price is fixed by market forces.

Yet the most important aspect of time is fundamentally not really a commodity at all. While we can buy the time of others, we can never buy more time for ourselves. And the most profound spiritual traditions regard time as only an illusion.

BerniceC: ahhhh, you are correct, of course! Maybe time is a commodity as well then?

Czuch Chuckers: Fencer said commodity and you are referring to assets...there is a difference I believe LOL.....sorry I know Im splitting hairs LOL

Fencer: What about time? Time is my most valuable asset!

Chicago Bulls: INFORMATION is the most valuable commodity in the world.
