trohat: that is strange!

Eriisa: I do now, too ... it was because of Show smilies option in Settings ... but what I don*t understand is, that I saw most of them although didnt have this checked ...

trohat: I see the smileys

All: Do you see smilies in message from or2ak.com from 16.8., 13:11:14 ? I see just numbers and stars ... It happens to me from time to time, that in some message I see just numbers and stars and other messages with smilies are ok. Is something wrong with my settings or is it the same for everybody ?
Especially that Firefox smilie in that or2ak.com message is so lovely, and I cannot see it

Binabik: I also have game with the same person that is doing the same thing....damned nuisance it is

Well I was just playing a game of Triple Dice Poker, and thought I would share how I went from having 2 rolls to it being my last roll. After my first roll, I selected a dice to re-roll and I accidentally double clicked on the "roll dice" button, and it went strait to being my last roll - skipping 1 roll. (I can hit "back" on my browser, and says I have 2 rolls left - hit forward on my browser, back to all rolls already taken)

Anyway, I wanted to mention this because I remember others complaining at times that they "lost" their rolls while playing - and double clicking on "Roll selected dice" can explain that issue.

coan.net: Thank you, I'm keeping my eye on it, just because I'm curious..... :+)

Binabik: The only thing that I can think of is if they did have vacation days set (which of course we can't see now because that time has passed) - but you said they did not.

As of almost 4 hours ago, the server time in on "Saturday" - which is that users weekend days, so if they are still gone when Monday comes around, and I can see they have no vacation days set - nor auto-vacation set - I would like to watch to see if their games then start to time out or not. (And if not - then a bug is the only thing I can think of.)

... not that I don't believe you when you said they did not have vacation days set - but I always like to see it myself... and I did not look at the profile until "Saturday" flipped over.

gambler104: Hmmm, doesn't make sense to me...

Binabik: I think if they have preset vacation days the days are removed when set rather than when used.

Could someone tell me why this game keeps on renewing after the time runs out? This has been happening all week and this player is not using auto-vacation days, nor regular vacation.....
Backgammon (Alfo vs. Binabik)

Jules: lol

Could you do us a favour and fix it that in fellowships if you put someone on hide it actually works, as last I knew it only worked in the mod squad nowhere else.

Thankyou.

rod03801: I'll pass this on as an interim solution until a better can be found. She says she also plans to post her problem in the WebTV f/s and hopefully get some help there. Thanks for the tip!

The Usurper: Highlighting the area where the text would be, should at least show the message. Not the best solution, but it's SOMEthing. (Highlighting it as though you are going to copy and paste it)

My friend who has the 'DB Disappearing Message' problem uses MSNTV.....

What is the solution for her?

lmao @rabbitoid

I'll consider it after my coffee break

rabbitoid: (Gulp)

Would you consider sueing my publisher instead? He can afford hot coffee.

rabbitoid: ROFL

The Usurper: Dear Mr Usurper,

In a recently published article on the brainking.com site, you claimed that the so called browser named « firefox » is not only better, but, quote, 14,341 than our product, Internet Explorer.

Now, unless you are prepared to demonstrate to an independent expert how you calculate this ratio, you may expect to hear from our legal department.

Sincerely yours
Bill Gates

P.S. Sorry to hear about your coffee. You may deduct the value (0.25 cent) from the legal costs.
B.G

MadMonkey: LOL It was a conservative estimate and my coffee is cold.

The Usurper: Is that all ?

You must have missed some things lol

I calculate that Firefox is roughly 14,341 times better than IE.

Oceans Apart: I always trust people who say "trust us" LOL

Ok I'm running on Firefox now! A new experience...and I can see this page with no disappearing text, which is....refreshing (ahhhh)

Now to your club, MadMonkey :o)

The Usurper:

        

The Usurper: It is soooooooooooooo much better that IE, trust us lol

MadMonkey: Very cool! I'll have to check it out when I get home....can't download anything here at work. lol Thanks!

The Usurper: Firefox then come and join my Firefox Fellowship

Oceans Apart: I've never heard of such a thing but I'll look it up. Thanks! :)

The Usurper: Use Firefox

Fencer: Thanks for the tip! I'll pass it along to my friend.

The Usurper: Why do you still use Internet Explorer 6.0? It is definitely not recommended.

...and if so, I apologize.

However, since I've come back to BK there is one major problem I've found that didn't exist in the past...and since an opponent of mine just mentioned the same problem in our game, I thought I'd bring it up here.

When I go read a Discussion Board, the message disappears wherever I scroll to read. My opponent says she has almost stopped reading the boards and I agree it is very frustrating.

baddessi: No worries,my shadow makes sure to keep me in line,and at lightning speed,90 seconds was all it took,relax

Jim Dandy: well good point, and I have to take the blame for that. I was online and didn't do anything about it. I thought it would wrap up after a few posts. It's a thin line to walk between allowing a little fun and letting things get outta hand. Sometimes my judgement could be better. Please know it was nothing personal towards you. K?

and please don't stop posting on boards. I enjoy your posts!

baddessi: I understand completely.I agree with that policy.I only regret that I posted at all,I seem to have ruined it for those wanting to discuss how they like their eggs cooked and yeast,they were allowed till I showed up

Jim Dandy: I understand that. People don't always know why we do what we do as mods and what is acceptable.
The thing is, Fencer has asked that this board be specifically for Brainking and its features, so that people may keep up with the latest. In the past, it has been a problem when members have to sift thru dozens of posts of a general nature and/or about other things, it loses its importance. That's why he created the other boards, so that there would be a specific place where people could look for answers for specific things. All we re trying to do when we mod is follow the owner's wishes to keep the boards 'on topic".for the rest of the users. It is not meant as harrassment nor are we trying to exert any 'power".

If you click the link on the left column for Public Boards, it gives a complete list of all the boards. Thanks for understanding.

Family Man: I'm just trying to get a feel for what is acceptable.I don't post here often so I read what others had posted and not had deleted.

To quote Hrqls: "messages after this which dont belong on this board will be removed"

After you have been warned, you posts on Brainking public discussion boards can and will be deleted without warning or more notice!

Family Man & Jim Dandy: we habent ? hmm probably in some of the fellowships .. otherwise move it to general chat .. you know what i mean

Hrqls: I honestly wasn't aware of a politics board,sorry,boy you guys work fast

Hrqls: We have a politics board?

Jim Dandy: this was the last post about politics on this board
recipes/cooking advices/request go to the cooking board
politics go to a politics board

the rest goes to general chat

messages after this which dont belong on this board will be removed

baddessi: dang it! you type too fast. lol

pssst........ ya'll gonna get in trouble! snicker.......


Lets go to General Chat before the meanies get here......




oh darn, i AM here!  

I know how things can evolve from things regarding BK, but can you guys please take the General Discussion to GC? Thanks

Jim Dandy: I think that against either Hillary (because she is a woman, and because she has too many ghosts from her husbands administration) or Obama (because he has no real experience) any republican will win.
