Bernice. I have resigned a game many times when I knew I was going to lose. Not out of poor sportsman ship but to speed things along. Many players do that. He likly didnt mean to be rude at all. I don't see the need to complete a game especially a long game like 10x10 reversi if I know I have no chance of winning. I resign, say WTG gg or what ever and end the game to get on with other games or start new ones. I never ever thought it was considered poor sportsmanship like conduct

thanks LIQUID :)
Have already deleted TEMP INT files. but will try and gett the IE upgrades...thanks so much

<Try to Delete Temporary Internet Files of IE by theai menu: Tools -> Internet Options. After that close all of IE window. If do not help, try to upgrade IE and FIX your windows by Windows Update.
Mainly use latest cumulative patch for IE. I recomend to use all critical patch from Windows Update.

Im not one for complaining about a win LOL...lets face it i dont win too many.
But when someone resigns, instead of letting me make that final move it just gives me the proverbial SH--TS.
I am an unrated player and HE? had a rating of about 1500...what a crock of c rap...excuse me :( sorry harley

yes :( have deleted every darn thing...defrag, cleaned out all files, rubbish bin, cookies, old files, new files etc etc...you name it...I did it LOL...thanks

It sounds to me like a corrupt cookie.! Have you tried deleting the BK ones & re-logging in.?

I have windows 98 V2 using IE

Maybe i already hsve :)

try me, most of my Swedish customers love me

LOL...and im sure you give the buyer what he pays for!!

Gubbe: I am the seller!

Bernice: Which web browser do you use?

Ok thnx BBW !!! :)

well I don't know what to say.....
I haven't been ablt to access this site since Tuesday afternoon australian time and it is now Friday evening :(
I have ONE game waiting and when i click on it it gives me their (my opponents turn).
I understand Fencer has been having problems as I emailed him direct and he so kindly explained it sort of.
It is hard for someone like me when your times is limited to catch up on games....today I have now been playing 4 hours to get thru backed up games.
I love this site and the people and would wish all the best to Fencer etc :)

Yes, Fencer is one of the owners of this site.

You can find out more about the site WITH THIS LINK

BBW (BIG BAD WOLF)

Are you the owner ?

I know its still not perfect, but I have noticed that the down times seem to be shorter. Way to go Fencer and/or anyone else involved! :)

If it matters, there is a limit for rooks which is 1000 started games at once. I know it would be very difficult to reach that limit, and i doubt it anyone ever has, but the limit is still there. I think 100 is a little too extreme to limit. If you are going to lower the limit, make it something a little more reasonable like 400 or 500.

i wouldnt like to see a limit on the amount of games we can play
uil i for one have many games if i was limited i would sit here twiddling my thumbs most of the time , alot of my opponents move at differnt times of the day so i would end up with no one to play

for an unlimited-games-account ... easy isn't it ? ~*~

Uil: If you buy 100 tulips and then the seller says you can only keep 20 shouldnt you be upset then :)..dont mention football thats forbidden!! LOL

why is everybody upset when sombody wants to limit the number of games?

That's me.

Who is Fencer ? Is he the owner ?

Fencer is in charge, I just help keep this board to what it should be :o)

Ok Animal,no worries....

Just Funny smutty

smuttylad, I didn't 'jump all over you', I sent you a polite message saying that this isn't a board to post a message doing nothing but slam IYT. The message you mention further down addresses the suggestion of limiting rooks game numbers.

RE:IYT...If you look down exactly 10 messages,you'll see someone else mentioning IYT ? And yet you jump all over me ? Thnx...

Animal ? Why the LOL ?

Thnx.....I'll wait then,LOL.....

LOL

as we we dont have it here, but it is coming in the future, all we can do is wait :)

Is it possible to play that game on here ? I'm new so forgive the simpleness.....LOL...

Better say *smile*..im sure p257 was kidding :)

Is this where I say "Amen"??

no limits are bad, bad i tell you.
hush your mouth p257, b4 anyone hears you!!

I agree with BIG BAD WOLF - I wouldn't be happy with a limit to my started games. Nor, I think, would most of the players in the 'most active player' list.

p257: why? many rooks (like myself) paid for the rook level because there is no limit - Fencer would be stuck with a lot of unhappy people wanting refunds of what they already paid!

One of the few things I really do not like about IYT is that they do limit you to 100 tournament games.

you might consider limiting brain rooks to 100 started games.

Ditto Chattytea! I turned mine off ages ago to help conserve. F5 is just as fast!

Damian, i have turned my refresh off totally...
just pressing F5 does the job! it really is something that we all can do without for now, and fencer is testing to see if it makes any difference.. if it doesn't then i am sure he will turn it on again for everyone :)
Just give fencer a chance to test things out please :)
Thank you

the newest guys are the only ones who tend to try out the
few-seconds-refresh, thus leading to more frequent server overloads ...
(not of a good attractivity as we should be able to agree)

older guys feel no problems to do refreshing themselves ...
mine is set to quarter an hour btw, hardly ever triggered ...
I'm not for static moves-restrictions though ...
30 moves a day are a lot for a chess player, but for battleboats
it might seem nothing ... not easy to meet all interests ... ~*~

You DON'T want to make your new blood inflowing to your organization, uncomfortable. These are the guys you want to pamper. Undo that refresh decision for this group or die in the process, marketing-wise! You ALWAYS make the newest guy the MOST Comfortable

Normally you can go to your profile, and in the tournament area - check your "waiting" tournaments (which I see none for you)

I have had that happen to me also, and it was a bug that Fencer had to fix - guess we can wait for him to see your message and see what he has to say! :-)

I have had the number +7 on my games started for a long period of time now. Could it be that the person running the Tournaments did not know that they had to start the next round? How can I find out which games they are?

Go to your main page and hit show all finished games. See if you can find it there and see what happened. If it got lost, get the number and email it with an explaination of what happened to fencer. He's really good about helping out :)

i think the same type of thing could have happened to me about a week or so ago , couldnt place a game missing but one of my bkrs dropped without any loss of games (checked through all of my mails to double check )

I seem to be missing a game that wasn't finished yet. Could it be possible that it just disappeared during the difficulties with the server and the suspended time? I'm sure it didn't time out. Is there anyone with the same problem?
