rabbitoid: I see. Sure, that could be done.

rabbitoid: Timestamps are stored in the database but I don't think there is enough space to show them next to the moves.

Thad: This game, perhaps? Anti Backgammon (UNICORNKRIS vs. Mousetrap)

Gammonator: Can you post a link to the tournament?

Thom27: I don't see anything wrong with the smileys, even when I log in your account. Aren't they blocked by some Firefox addon?

Thom27: I've found a small bug that causes the list to be empty if you have no friends here. It will be fixed soon. In the meantime, adding at least one friend should be a temporary workaround.

Thom27: It really looks like a bug. I will look into it.

thisbeme: Your fault dude. Everybody else is smart enough to know it without any amendments.

(V): Unlikely. I suggest to use a "normal" free photo service.

El Cid: A small bug, perhaps. Nothing serious. I would ignore it.

aaru: The script is executed once a day on 00:01 but it was stuck for some reason. Such things happen.

pedestrian: If there is a problem, I will look at it when I have time. Finding a bug in a game model that was taken as "working" for 4 years is not easy.

speachless: Some graphics is missing in the bigger set but the small one should be OK, as far as I know. How would people play Plakoto, anyway? From time to time I receive a question why some pieces are missing on the board but when I suggest to switch to the small set, everybody responds that the problem was solved. So I take it for granted.

pedestrian: At least I know that I am not wrong about it.
Regarding Plakoto, it is true that some images are missing, mostly because they are specific to Plakoto only (mixed white and black pieces) and I had probably forgotten to create them. When I have some time, I will look at it.

speachless: Interesting. How many times have you read the Fevga rules before you started to fill my mailbox with "typical problems"?

Let me quote something:

"A player's first checker must pass the opponent's starting point before he may move any of his other checkers."

That explains the 6-6 "bug", right?

I would like to add that Plakoto and Fevga had been introduced here in February 2008, more than 4 years ago. I am sure that if these variants were as flawed as you suggest, some poeple would have probably noticed that a long time ago.

The bottom line - there is a special Backgammon discussion board which should be used for any further comments or questions. I don't doubt that regular backgammon players would give you any explanations better (and faster) than me.

MadMonkey: If you have a good reason to ban yourself from your own tournaments, just ask me. It's a single click solution.

rod03801: Yes, it is new. It was requested by people who are permanently abused by slow and annoying players, deliberately ruining their tournaments.

aaru: I would say it is equivalent to -7.

ScarletRose: What's the problem? The worst thing that could happen is that a year membership would be just stored on your profile page but you can never lose your lifetime subscription. The easiest way to purchase a membership for another player is to go to their profile page and click "purchase membership for this user" link at the page top.

happyjuggler0: Yes, it is possible. I coded it many years ago so I am not quite sure.

happyjuggler0: BrainKing is a very complex application and such things happen, occasionally. A simple restart usually helps.

Aganju: You can buy it first, then create tournaments and ask me to deduct prizes from your subscription. It is not automated yet.

Bwild: You probably won't like it but my comment does not open any conversation. And I don't intend to follow up.

Bwild: I am dissapointed. Try something new please. Use your imagination.

thisbeme: Over ten minutes as happened in the past? You don't say. For your information, BrainKing suspends the time only if it is down for more than 1 hour, as it always happened in the past. If you spend more time reading server news and less time abusing the system by starting several thousand games and then letting your membership expired, you would probably know that.

rednaz23: Unbelievable ... should we make an achievement for 15000 moves a day?

rednaz23: Yes, the priority turned out to be a completely useless feature unless the bug tracker is used by programmers for other programmers.

Thom27: Yes, I am tired of fixing them too.
However, I can do something about them, occasionally.

rednaz23: I am just tired of changing the status. The whole idea had been based on my experiences with a software company I used to work at but there were about 100 active developers, that continuously updated the Bugzilla issues because of informing one another about the progress. It's simply not that necessary with 1 programmer.

furbster: Here we go.

furbster: Mmmmm, perhaps it's time to put it back. Needs some programming, though.

pattypoo: I've just logged in your account, opened some games, visited discussions, viewed a couple of other pages. No problems at all. Perhaps it is a WebTV issue?

crosseyed: What about now?

Gabriel Almeida: Maybe we should add it to the achievements.

Gabriel Almeida: Of course.

Bwild: Thank you for expressing your level of thinking. Now please come back when you have something meaningful to say.

joshi tm: Thanks.
One hundred thousand users and only 4 bonuses left! I would not be surprised if they are gone before Christmas.

rod03801: That's because there used to be a function "delete user" 10 years ago. A couple of deleted accounts caused this difference.

furbster: Hehe, yes.

furbster: 6 codes left.

furbster: Looks like it was stuck a couple of years ago. I will check it.

furbster: 12 left.

Artful Dodger: That's how it is supposed to work. If no game is found, according to your filter, the first available game is selected instead.

pedestrian: It should not happen. I will check it.

Gabriel Almeida: 20.

Gabriel Almeida: Yes. Although it is not officially documented, a Black Rook purchased with a red code can be duplicated and the owner can give to another user, use it as a tournament prize etc. Of course, he cannot sell it back to BrainKing and except us to pay 360 EUR for it. Bonuses are not refundable.

rod03801: I am sure that #3 is the correct answer.

Gabriel Almeida: I don't know. I will tell you when it drops below 10.

fukuhara: When one of the conditions (100 codes of one type OR 500 codes in total) is fulfilled, the action is over.

fukuhara: 33 left.
