crosseyed: Are my posts invisible?

MadMonkey: I keep it in mind.

Bottom line:

As I have mentioned in the Server News, we are still in a process of tuning some servers parameters, just to make sure that everything is balanced to the best performance. However, it is very unlikely that if a problem occurs and it is actually caused by the site, it would affect only a few users. In 10 years of our existence, we had solved many bad situations and all of them had been caused by global issues - affecting the whole site.

By the way, I never said that I am the best programmer in the world who can solve every possible problem. If a buggy situation just happens and, after trying my best, I find out that I am out of ideas and no solution works, well, we must learn to live with it.

I have a 30 Mbps cable connection at home and although it is a very fast line, there are still many sites that work incredibly slow for me. I don't complain, I take it as a fact.

Fencer: My computer didn't make my breakfast this morning............must be your fault

Oh, still doesn't 'Move and go to next team Match' game

Happy Sunday Boss

Dalmatiner: I've just checked your account, to make sure nothing is wrong with it. Logged in within a fraction of second, opened some games, browsed through various pages. No problems at all.

Guys, please. What do you want from me, miracles?

As you can see, there are many people who confirm that BrainKing is accessible and fast for them, as usual. Our internal tests that are running continuously show that all functions work normally, there is no overload and data throughput is smooth, showing no anomalies.

I don't say that people who has problems are idiots or don't know how to use their computers. On the contrary, it is quite possible that BrainKing is slow for some of them, because that's how the web works, naturally. My duty is to keep the site alive and, if a problem shows up, try to solve it. From our perspective, nothing unusual happens here and something wrong happens outside the server, we can hardly do anything about it.

tried 4 computers, three browsers and did all the usual things like empty cache etc. Took me 42 minutes from entering brainking to finally come here. Not nice indeed!

Bernice: Probably your computer then, unless you've cleaned it up.

BK seems fine... though any difference I can't say is BK as I've just upgrading to Firefox 4.

rod03801: me too, it's very fast.

coan.net: Completely normal and fast for me as well.

I just couldnt get in thru log in...had to go to guest log in and get in that way...not happy Jan :(

For me, I haven't seen any slowness.

Ok, I'll chime in too. The site has been unusually slow for me today too.

For me, it's different : when I use my laptop,it's rather slow but when I use my familial pc, it's very fast. I think it comes from the pc. On my familial pc, I've put a very powerful graphic card and that helps, I think.

well I have a brand new computer as of yesterday and this site is very slow loading...first I get a plain white page and then only half the page comes up and very slowly the rest decides to appear

crosseyed: From a user's point of view, nothing has actually changed, even the server's IP address is still the same. Host tracker confirms that BrainKing is accessible from everywhere.
As temporary workaround, ask them to try another domain, e.g. BrainKing.cz, BrainKing.de etc., just in case it is a local DNS problem.

Some people are having problems getting to the site. Is there anything I can suggest to the player I know that can't get in?

MadMonkey:
Thank you!

Deb4858: The points are not really for anything...they are more of a personal challenge. Fencer (who owns BrainKing) has come up with a lot of different challenges (or goals if you like) that you can try and reach. For everyone you reach you get a certain amount of points.

Here is the page that tells you who has the most ----> Achievements

If you go to your profile, and click on the last Tab, you can look through all the achievements, and see which ones you would like to aim for

MadMonkey:
I am a member of your fellowship. Actually, alot of fellowships invited me. What are achievment points used for?

Deb4858: Well, not exactly Deb

Feel free to chat on any of the Public ones -----> Discussion Boards

If you have any particular game questions, every game here has its own Discussion Board. Anything to do with BrainKing itself can be asked here (or the General or Members boards).

Also you are in a few fellowships (including my Madhouse lol), someone will always reply to you in those

Is there a Discussion Board for new players?

rabbitoid: Maybe next time

She's probably allergic to rabbits

I didn't receive any mail from linda. What did I do to deserve this cruel treatment? buuuuuh

*Bright Eyes*:It was taken care of days ago.

hoky: Great!

Fencer: Now that were ate it, Hogfather didn't show up as a "Tugas" won tournament (and maybe some others...)

Fencer: No worries, i like to let you know these things, best stamp on him before it happens again lol

Saying that, i am sure a small script could run through all finished Team Tournaments and check

MadMonkey: A small bug, most likely. I'll check it.

Fencer....I do not know if this is a Bug, or something has stopped working or maybe BarinKing just had a moment

Just going through all running Team Tournaments, so i can keep all Madhouse players up-to-date, and came across a Tournament that must have finished recently (well, since i last went through them all)

10-09-15 Hyper backgammnon is now over. We were 8 :4 up in the Final last time i checked. Anyway, now it has finished, i am wondering why it does not show up in Madhouse Team Tournaments Won ?

Did you disable something the other week, when you were testing other stuff or do we have a BUG .......

Bernice: I do.. it was part of the message when I got sent one.. as in the user name.

linda1 (linda yomie) - [linda1, United States, Brain Pawn, Female] Brain Pawn.

Bernice: Well, if you PM me the name here on BK, I can Since others have said they got it too, I will be happy to block it from sending PM's

Bernice said: I don't obviously

I try not to assume....

Edit* I am curious though, was there *no* user name in your inbox, or what?

happyjuggler0: now if I knew that it would have been put on here..............I don't obviously

Bernice: What is this person's BK user name, the one who sent you the message here at BK? Surely they can't use a yahoo address to send you a BK message?

MadMonkey: yeah in message box....she is spamming...get onto it Rod you go getter you hahahaha

I got one too. Gee I thought it was cuz I was so sexy. Oh well, too old to open it anyway.

Bernice: Well if you received that in a PM here on Brainking, why not just block them? Or if they are spamming many people on here, we can certainly block them from sending messages to anyone.

Bernice: Where did that arrive ? In your Message box ?

WHO IS THIS, and can she do this?
