Rose: I only guessed the coordinates. I must find the exact ones somewhere (unfortunatelly I don't have a GPS device).

Fencer: OK, thanks for the advice. I'll wait patiently , for about a week anyway...

Maxxina: The brains Referral Programme

And what is unfinished work right now ?

Bry: I've just changed <br> tags to <br/> ones, due to XHTML rules. But since it doesn't seem to work with WebTV, I changed them back.

Bry: Yes. But the source code of the tournament system is currently all messed up [at least on my computer] so I want to finish the unfinished work first.

Fencer: please, please, please can you fic the "Move and go to next game of this tournament" to work on the "team" tournaments too?

Can I ask what it was?

Whatever it was, thanks for fixing it. I can think of another site where it would have taken months to take care of it! :-D

Just more proof that:

Things just now went back to normal

rod03801: What now?

Here is a link to where you can use the WebTV viewer.

http://developer.msntv.com/TOOLS/webtvvwr.asp

I am starting to hear back from other webtv users, and they are noticing the same thing.. So, I'm not hallucinating.. lol

That's line break, correct? Yes it does recognize that tag. Recognizes all html tags as far as I know..

lol.. dunno.. everything looked fine before I fell asleep 12 hours ago, or so.. Maybe I'm dreaming right now.. lol

rod03801: Do you mean that WebTV doesn't recognize the tag <br/>?

I don't know... Everything is crunched together under my game boards too. Nothing is spaced correctly.

Something must have been changed in the last 12 hours.. Must be something only noticable by WebTV-ers..

Oh well... I guess I can get used to the jumbled mess.. lol...

If you still have that webtv viewer program/site Fencer, you should check it out and see what I mean.

The columns in the menu at the top are messed up, the columns at the bottom, also. The list of games on my main page looks fine, however. And on the game pages, the game itself looks fine, but all the game info under it (including the "move and goto" areas are messed up.

I am pretty confident it is nothing changed by webtv, as I am involved with those changes when they happen..

Excellent, it works now!

rod03801: I see nothing unusual when I switch to the row layout.

Look at the mapnow.

Huh? I probably wasn't very clear. But I'm not sure what I can change in settings to put it back to normal. (As I didn't change anything to begin with)
It seems like something was added/changed in a column, and changed the spacing of everything. It may only be on WebTV screens..

Columns at the bottom of my pages are messed up too..

Not a big deal, it just doesn't look very nice :-)

rod03801: No, but you can fix it in "settings"

Does anyone who has the menu at the top (as opposed to the side), see it all messed up now???
What happened?

Yeah, I can do that Rose.

harley: Can you folks on AOL go to http://maps.google.com type in your area and see it come up on screen?

im on aol Harley and i can't see it either

Its not working for me either. I don't know if its my settings or AOL.

Fencer: I zoomed in as far as I could go on the satellite part of the map Fencer. Seems BK is in a farmers field!

Fencer: I like the "interactive" map - but maybe you could just put a "static" map there, then maybe a link to an "interactive" map.

Impossible to fix on our side, it's a fault of Microsoft.
Workaround - don't use Internet Explorer.

playBunny: There seems to be a problem with IE, Firefox is fine. I'll try to modify it.

Fencer: Yes, its great! :o)

Fencer: It doesn't work if ActiveX or Flash is disabled. Could there be an image as background for those cases?

Can you see the map? Probably not working with WebTV.

Jim Dandy: let me help you here.. I will just click on your name.. and then look for the invite tab and select the game.. :)

Andre Faria:
He, he, he! Only when my opponents let me be a naughty player...

Saludos! Are you naughty? LOL

naughtypawn: Welcome to BrainKing

Hi! Today I have become a paying member (Rook Brain). I like this site very much I just wanted to say hello!

mook53lhd: You're welcome. :-)

If you mean in Chess: Your opponent's rating was about 1650 so you'll get 2050 from those two games. Keep winning and you'll end up somewhere near #100. But any losses will pull you down. If you found the games easy then you might like to challenge someone at 1800 or higher, or go for a biggie from the top 100. ;-)

The provisional rating appears after the 4th game in each game type so another couple of ganmes of Chess and Backgammon should do the trick.

And, yep, just pick someone who sounds interesting or nice, or whatever, and invite them. You might want to go to their profile and click their Started Games pages. Many of the people with several hundred games going at once will take a long time to play a match with. Those with a few games are likely to be speed players. There's an informal club called the Quick Players Club. Most of the people listed therein will play at a decent speed.

playBunny: thanks play bunny. well i beat # approx 250 a couple of times .is that good. what do you do pick out a # from bkr list & invite them. where would i see my provisional rating.just curious is all. thanks again mook53lhd

BIG BAD WOLF: I apreciate that Wolf.I will digest the info and move forth with gusto!.....I finally got to use the word "gusto" mom'll be so proud

Fellowship: You can join as many as you want. Some fellowships have tournaments for their own "members", and if you want - you can join only 1 fellowship team where you can play in site tournaments against other fellowships. (And just because you join one team does not mean you can not belong to other fellowships also.)

While I'm talking about Fellowship, feel free to join The Gammon Cube Fellowship - we have many tournaments for fellowship members, plus join all site tournaments, plus have our own private discussion areas to chat. (You can also check out the Fellowship discussion board to find out about others.

Ponds - Check out the Ponds Discussion Board - Read back and hopefully you will learn a little more about that also.

Princess Alison: Hi Princess

playBunny: Thanks for the kind welcome.I feel like a kid in a candy store at this site but I'm not sure which item to tackle first.Ponds,Fellowships,Teams......i Know I'll enjoy them all
