LOL!

chess who???

...and you're playing chess...

everything is working fine, and it's nice and fast, but i'm still getting lousy dice:)

Check the computer DB. It sounds like some ISP are slow to refresh there DNS lookups or they are using proxy servers that just got confused lol.

Some Webtv users are getting back in now with no problems. I assume it's the same for all of them.

Is the message WebTV users are getting (about site being too busy) a page ON brainking, or a WebTV message?

One good thing Fencer - If BK2.0 went up, and webtv people were having problems - you would then be wondering if it was on your side with the new coding. But since everything is the same today as it was last week - it almost has to be something on WebTV's side.

Hi, all seems fine for me this morning. Not one problem so far, all is like it was before Saturday.

I was able to get one once Saturday during the BK2.0 use, and what I saw then looked pretty cool.
I have had the same problems as by reported by other webtv users over the last several days, but again, all seems 'normal' this morning, and I have not done anything on this end....

ood luck Fencer, and PLEASE don't get too frustrated and stop supporting WebTV :)

Buy me one Fencer. Something is going on. Not all of a sudden 50 people are more webtv users have bad browsers.

Don't say it to Liquid, he would kill you within ten seconds. Because we had spend almost the whole day investigating all possible problems OUTSIDE our server which is NOT a part of our responsibility and THE SITE IS NOT BUSY!
One more "problem" like that and I will mark WebTV as an unsupported platform.

I've done all of that. It still says to busy to use.

Aaarggghhhh! Nothing is going on here. Get a computer with normal browser instead of that "browser" with no support for meaningful error messages or HTTP header console.

Linda - read the .info page , there is stuff about the problems there for webTV users :o)

Finally.....
Hi everyone. After days of trying I am finally able to get here. I don't think it's a webtv problem. Something is going on here. I've been getting the to busy to use notice. It's 5:00am now and probably the only reason it let me in, less traffic. Deleting cookies didn't help either.

Seems funny though that after changing to bk2 then back, all of a sudden webtv users (not just Blue) cant access the site properly :o(

Too much of a coincidence

PrettyBlueEyes: What coding? There were no changes in HTML code for more than half a year! The site is working properly, it is tested and proven. And it IS compatible to WebTV. I have no idea why your device suddenly stopped working with it.

Sorry you're having such difficulties, Pretty. I hope you get things straightened out soon. :o)

I can finally enter the site after numerous numerous times today trying. But can't play any games. I can not get to my messages. I can not even read my own fellowships discussion board or some other discussion boards also. :(
I have called webtv technical support, they also tried accessing Brainking and were unable to.More then 1 technical person tried. They also told me that something in the coding in the games is making the pieces disappear. It is not compatible to webtv. We have no proxy cache I was told by them also. I hope that helps Fencer to maybe solve the problem for webtvers! :)

aparently webtv have tried to access the site and were not able to either. more than 1 webtv user have got them to try

Me too :-(

I miss my webtv friends :o(

just an odd glitch for you.. I click on logout, and it keeps taking me back to my main page !?

lol, I'd hate to have your hosting bill!!!

Fencer: 120 - 130GB of HTTP trafic, exclude mail trafic. ;-))))

I run about 10-15 on mine, but my sites very flash heavy and forums get alot of use.

Why should it be bad?

Ok, so it's not too bad.

wow ..I only managed 4GB on mine last month LMAO

About 120-130 GB a month.

Fencer, just a quick question. How much bandwith does this site use? I know the page views are out the roof, but the data can't be too high can it? 100GB month?

I've also posted a might be helpful tip on the Computers board that might help the webtvers out.

Thank you, I will add it.

Thanks Blue ;o)
I will pass it on.....

Fencer: Could that be added to the .info page as webTV users seem to be able to get there.

MM- It is to save emails & such.. That can slow you down a bit if it is too full with saved emails. Have the webtver go to storage & clean up the discarded emails & the sent emails also..
They may help a bit..They can also use the 'goto' to access the site..If the person has the site saved under a fav number tell them to get rid of it...then try accessing the site they also should turn unit off. unplug it from the wall for 10 seconds then replug it..then reconnect but hit 'Moved' then connect to the net. then try acessing the site.

Thats not a solution for many though :-)

I know! Buy everyone a PC, problem solved! ;o)

I am starting to be allergic to this damned device. It costs me days of optimizations without a possibility to test it on a real WebTV. Kind of neverending work with no visible end.

Blue: Whats the 'Storage Bin' on webTV used for ?

It has nothing to do with images.

Fencer the problem is not solved for webtv..
The pieces will not show up..Yes I played the game I can not access some discussion boards. I get an error message saying Brainking is too busy too use.
I have cleared my cookies.. I have also done a hard reset.. I cleared my cache numerous times.
Helpppppp!!! Thanx!! :)

I have goodfoods on Messenger, he can get to the Main page, but thats it. I have told him to do everything you told me to Fencer.

I've seen a WebTV user here [PrettyBlueEyes] playing a game and, if I am not mistaken, successfully making a move in the game.
So, is the problem solved? We've made a hard bypass over the former redirector, nobody should have it in a cache because it never existed before.

I have stopped the game time in order to prevent timeouts until WebTV problem is fixed.

now how considerate is that???? in the middle of all the problems time has been taken to do for WebTV users..that is a wonderful gesture and a great thing...Fencer .. you never cease to amaze :)

Please read http://BrainKing.info for new information about this WebTV problem.

Telepathically - now wouldn't that be good? lol I could imagine BK2 was up and running. :-)

I'm using a set box thingy at the moment. It takes a fortnight to load a page but at least it gets me here!

Youve managed to get further than many other webtv users :o( Hopefully Fencer can help you all back today :o) Ive missed a few friends tonight because they aint managed to get here :o(

or is it just his "laptop" that dont work and his "pc" does?

yeah....how did he post....or is he being an old woman again and forgetting where he is....Sorry Bumble...*jk*

i can't do anything either, i played 4 games today, and they took forever to load. i hope things will be better later on today.
