Maybe Fencer wants us all to communicate in Korean.

I only get them on BrainKing though, which seems on in itself...

I have them too! I thought I had a virus or something.....

I have got those message also before - but I haven't seen it for many months. I'm not sure why I was getting it, but I think I ended up just loading those languages so I did not have to worry about the messages. (Using IE)

I'm glad its not just me! I'm only on AOL, I don't normally get them, not that I visit many other sites! I like Andersp's explanation! LOL, that will do for me!

I was wandering what was causing them, the only thing that i could come up with was the Google Banner Ads as i dont get them anywhere else.
Andersp, i dont get them on Netscape either if i use that.

Harley and Ian. I have had them several times when ive been using Netscape. Antje has never had them in her Netscape.
I think we can consider us "chosen" :)

I was getting them last week as well. They disappeared after a couple of days. I was using IE.

I get this problem of losing games that I thought I was winning.

I was getting them last week when i was on here harley, but only when using IE, and not had any today.

Does anybody else keep getting 'install on demand' boxes on screen to download language support? I've had them for Chinese and Korean characters now!

Aw how cute AD.. Yes.. I clicked on the link.. a problem I have sometimes.. hahah

Now.. what was your question?? LOL

Vacations? Who gets those? No rest for the weary and the righteous don't need it! LOL

PS Enjoy it, you really do deserve it!

Kevin: Thanks, missed that one.
Fencer: no problem (spray for real ones).

Ah yes - so they are... :-)

used to make games go on even longer ;oÞ

But what's vacation for if it's not for that?! lol ;-)

Don't expect any major bugfixes while I am on vacation :-D

Yes, this is the same known bug as before - hopefully it'll be fixed soon :-)

43. Chessmaster1000 2233
44. vertigo 2231

LOL no big deal, just a continuum of my usual fortunes (cannot vouch for Cm1000).

to add html bulletpoints to the privmsg list,
so they could be only opened that way ... ~*~

Or we lyric freaks will go on a frenzy 8D

Yes and keep them active in message body only. Right? :)

but indeed Fencer should probably disable
links in subject lines of private messages
as well as in fellowship/tournament titles ... ~*~

<I don't know what you mean by abusing it but probably people should be aware to keep links out of message subject lines or the content will be hard to reach. At least it can't be reached directly.

I never notice before but if you have only one message, you'll get this in the left column:

Message box (1)

where you can click on the (1) to access the message.

But if the message subject header is a link, the left hand column lists it this way:

Message box Ad That?s me">(1)

The "AD that?s me" is a clickable link taking you to the actual message. So you can access that message from the left hand message area but from your message box it takes you to the outside (or inside as the case may be) link.

Is that confusing? ;)

Yea, you can do that with fellowships names, tournament names, and other things - hopefully that bug will not be abused or Fencer will just take the option of making links away from everyone! :-)

I sent myself a message with this: Ad That’s me in the subject line.

If I sent that to someone else as a subject line and then wrote them a message, they couldn't get to the message because clicking on the message header bring you to the linked site. :)

no this is not a trick to get people to view my cute little birdies. :)

thanks rod for the info - i didnt know if it was just me having this problem or not :o)

There is a known bug on the ratings page, Fiona. I think brainking.info says that the system fixes it once a day..
I have a similar problem with anti reversi.. it says I am #3, even though my rating is actually higher than the person listed as #2.. and I also couldn't find anti-reversi on the ratings page.. only in my table of my own ratings..

on my front page it says my rating for battleboats plus is 12(33) but when i click on it to check the leader boards it says i am 6(25) does this only get updated every few days as i quite often notice it differs from my main page - which rank is correct?????

people who are not within your specified range, won't see your invitation. ~*~

When I define a new game with a rating restriction, it still shows that my opponent will be "any player." Shouldn't it show that my opponent must have a rating within the parameters I selected? Looking at my invitations waiting for response, I would like to able to remind myself how I defined them. And maybe others seeing them would like to know what restrictions I made?

but looking to see if certain friend is on line now makes it awkward and easy to miss someone :o(

well the one advantage of last action, is you can tell quickly who just showed up.

last action I think Eriisa :o) I prefered it alphabetical

I don't remember an answer to this before, so what the heck....

What order does the 'Friends Online' list?

It works. Thanks, Fencer!

Of course. There was a bug in new user registration process. My fault.

Try it now.

I don't know then. What do you think could be the problem, Fencer?

All registered users can modify settings.

Maybe that is it. Are there any pawns that can confirm it?

Works for me but then I am using a pc! You can even put them in reverse alphabetical order..thanks for the tip rod!

pawns might not be able to modify settings like paid members can , not sure on that though ;)

I don't know. I'm doing exactly as you said. I guess theres just something wrong with my system. Thanks for the advice anyway.

I am also on WebTV
Go to Who is Online.
at the top of the chart you will see "Level, Name, Last action, etc... One of those columns will have a little green arrow by it.. Click on "Name" and the page will reload with all the people who are currently online in alphabetical order, and the green arrow will be by the Name column. It works fine. You must have done something wrong.

Sorry, rod. That didn't work( or maybe i did it wrong?). Is that the only way? I use web TV, does that make a difference?

Thank you, rod.

Click the column where the names are, and it will be arranged alphabetically by the person's name.

Umm, I'm looking for a way to sort my "Who is online" list. Right now, it is in no type of order and repeats player's names multiple times. How (or can) I fix this?
