rabbitoid: your are correct.....I use Bleachbit on any Linux system just to get rid of the rubbish files that builds up in the systems

2 of my systems dual boot with XP Pro, so i still keep up with Windows stuff and CCleaner is a must for any Windows instal

Really, if you just use your PC for just everyday internet use, Registry cleaners are not needed. If you download and Install (and more to the point UNINSTALL) lots of programs then they are very useful (BUT always remember to make a Back-up)

MadMonkey: Eusing asks automatically and then backs up the registry before cleaning. Neer had any problems with it on XP or 7.

Though, as a all in one http://slimcleaner.com/ I've found works better on Win 7 as a good registry cleaner and washer of all old internet junk from your caches, etc.

crosseyed: Hey, I had a whole three games going a few days ago! But you're right, it really isn't an issue for me. Free is a good price so I have no reason to complain. And it's not a serious enough problem for me to switch over to Chrome. I'm trying to break the 2100 BKR barrier in chess, but haven't been able to do it so I'm limiting my number of games to 5 or less.

Carpe Diem 
Thema: Poor form?
Just looking for some opinions on this - do people consider it poor form to resign the 3rd game of a 3 game match when you are leading 2-0, just to end it sooner? I'd do it when down 2-0, but I don't want to deprive people of that third game if it's going to bother them. The result of the match has already been determined, but the fact that they don't resign could be an indication that they'd like to play every game. Or they're just not paying attention.

Thinking about it, I guess I'd limit this strategy to people with lots of games going, as opposed to someone who only has 10 games on the go.

Thema: Re: Poor form?
Carpe Diem: Seems like you came up with a good answer yourself :-)
I think the option to create n game matches is a bit silly anyway. If this had be 2 win match instead, it would have been over by now.
And yes, some people have so many games going that they don't seem to pay attention at all. I have a game where I've literally been winning for years, and my opponent doesn't seem very excited at all about playing on - but still does so.

Thema: Re: Poor form?
Carpe Diem: Always propose that option to your opponent rather than employing it on your own. This will give them a say in the matter. I think most people enjoy playing a game out, even in an otherwise losing cause.

Roberto Silva 
Thema: Re: Poor form?
JerNYC: Agreed. I would only see the point of resigning if you are limited in the number of games or are needlessly dragging down a tournament. Otherwise, what's one more game?

But maybe that's me, as I play in Brainking for the fun of playing games, not for the BKR or number of wins.

speachless 
Thema: Re: Poor form?
Carpe Diem: i play also for fun and not for the BKR, but when a loose is 100% the game for me is decided and i loose the interest to play it till the end. i think it's individual, so if you feel to resign a game, just do it.

1. Mai 2013, 23:18:02
JerNYC 
Thema: Re: Poor form?
Roberto Silva: Right and even if I've lost the match, I can still get satisfaction out of trying to win the remaining game(s). Every game is an opportunity to hone your skills or learn something.

I use firefox. I have to refresh every page here, but nowhere else.I get a blank page, hit refresh, click "resend info" when it says it has to, THEN get "firefox blocked a pop up" and have to click allow.
Not for each move within a game, just to submit and go to another.
I've added Brainking.com as an exception to the pop up blocker.

this is very recent. what do I need to do, please? anyone know?

Thema: Re: pop ups blocked here
I use firefox and don't have any problem like this. Nevertheless I agree that he should try changing browsers to see if it is a firefox problem with this site, or if all browsers he tries he still has the problem. Either way though he will learn something I suppose. I also suggest going through the usual laundry list of things to do, like cleaning his cache, rebooting his computer, doing a quick virus scan, and when he has time he should do a full virus scan (which should be a daily thing anyway regardless).

Every now and then I get the "slow loading page" problem at the same time that others get it. Changing browsers etc. doesn't help that problem though.

My son started an account here on May 25th, but is still not a registered player and can't get on to play games. He is in the Navy and presently overseas, so his email is piped in and out from the ship he is on. He has no problem communicating with me or other relatives, so I'm wondering if the problem getting on here has anything to do with his email account?

1. Juni 2013, 00:49:40
Iamon lyme 
By the way, my son's email is a .navy.mil and not a .com address, so I was wondering if the problem had anything to do with acknowledging his email account. If not, then is there something he can do from his end to speed up the approval process? He said everything went fine with the sign up, and has been waiting to get approved.

Thema: Brain distribution in knockout tournaments
When you set up a knockout tournament with brain prizes, you are asked to select a prize distribution for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Now the winner will be first, the losing finalist second, but who is third? next you have two losing semifinalists. How does that work?
