To MM and others.....I am using a webtv and I haven't changed any of my settings since I first registered on this site. Webtv users are very limited compared to PC users. I've had one game time out because I couldn't play and more may follow if things don't get straightened around. LOL... I'd love to see the complete board, in order to know where to play. If I am to win or lose, I'd like to see that too. I can't play with this type of a board disadvantage

Are you both using PC's ?

All of my backgammon games are like that too, totally unplayable.

awwww SOD what you done now LOL - it must be your system settings somehow :-(
How long has it been doing it ?

it must be the MONSTER.....BK2.....

All my boards are bigger and some board areas are missing. I can't see where my opponent may be lying in waiting! I can't play my games because of this flaw.

If you have a scrool wheel on your mouse, the text can change also if you hold down the "CTRL" key while you move the mouse wheel. (This happens to me often)

want a fun pratical joke to play at work, take the ball out of the mouse in the next cube. makes for hours of fun!!!

Great, I found it, thanks.

Oh! On my computer it's on the bar above the 'home' and 'search' symbols - the bar contains, from the left, 'file', 'edit', 'view', 'favourites', 'tools' and 'help'.

Top of the computer above the BrainKing part? Has it got a picture? This computer's in japanese and there's nothing that looks like "view" written.

Go to 'view' at the top of your screen and select 'text size'.

All my letters and boards have got bigger. Is that from someone playing with this computer? If so, how do I undo it?

Yes, site is kinda wobbly this morning here too! (NJ-USA)

don't know, but I couldn't get on.

what broke for last couple of hours?

Mine is a bit faster but not like normal :o((

Ive had "not respond to request" too today, but thats on the feature request board! LOL

Site is faster now than it was earlier

I'm getting the white screens, and the "did not respond to request" stuff...

nope, not right now, was a couple of hours ago though

anyone else getting slow browsing of site?

ROFL @ cole.

now theres a contridiction in terms!! LMAO
it is only used when it serves the purpose of our fearfull leader who obviously is too busy fishing to fix a boat.At least the promises are down to a week now rather than a month.

Fencer...will there be music...I like music...
something blusey....or easy Jazz...huh...what...
runs from Fencer who has had last nerve shredded and is fingering a very sharp knife...Nevermind...
:}

Is there any type of rules like in Chess where if both players make the same move for more then 3 times in a row, the game can be considered a draw?

I have to agree with my husband that this is a graat site! They have had their problems in the past and seem to have fixed them to a point. Can't wait to see what happens with BK 2.0 series. I'm sure there will be some bugs that will need to be taken care of, just like any new program. The only thing that bothers me is the nitpicking that goes on in this site. I've said this before when the problem with MM and Stevie came up, I think there is enough fighting going on in this world without people fighting on a game site. This is suppose to be fun for everyone. Of course there are people that don't get along with each other. If you don't get along with them, put them on your enemies list. That is what it is there for. The fighting, arguing, disagreeing, etc. needs to stop. Why can't everyone get along anymore? I'm sure (at least I hope) things will calm down. Let's just play and enjoy ourselves. This should be a past time for people to enjoy and relax and talk to people they have met on this site that they call friends. My husband and I have met quite a few people that we are happy to call friends from this site. Hopefully you feel the same way. Fencer, keep up the good work!

thanks Fencer for a great site!! the old BK has had its' troubles and quite a few have left or not renewed their Brainrookships, but those of us who have hung in there will be rewarded soon!! just get it right!!! and now i turn the keyboard over to my wife, myway, so she can comment!!!!!!!! thanks again Fencer!!!!!! ;^}

I want that "everyone beats Backoff @ Atomic Chess" glitch fixed please.

Thanks :)

IMupChucKingC, Its just one point in the user agreement that hasn't been fully explained. Wait for BK2 and I imagine it will be corrected along with a lot of other things.

I want to know why the user agreement is not valid?
What is up with that?
Haven't people been banned and removed and such, for breaking the user agreement?
How was anyone supposed to know that it was not valid?
Can anyone help me understand what the ... is going on here?

I think there's been some beta testing going on. Most of the gliches/bugs should be gone by the time we see the finished product.

I know Fencer will take care of all the little gliches after it starts up and people are talking about them

We all need to wait for Brain King 2 to start up then if we have problems then we should address them, for now lets play are games and have fun :o)

Andersp : KRB ?

Antje: Did i say girlfriend?...of course i meant girlfriends :) *krb*

Fencer: No rush, let it take 1 month no need to be pissed because people want to know the rules.

life is to short and that it can be hard to run a site. Cause what 1 person thinks may be gr8888t other may think they are not thinking in their right mind. If we all start jumping on the site head people there would not be much to saying we don't need this any more and just pull the plug and if that is done we all lose out of this gr888t and fun site. With BK2.0 starting up soon as we have heard over and over again. Can't we at least give it some time before we start fighting about it. Well this is about all I have to say for now so BACK to my CORNER I go.
:O{P``````

I'm sure the user agreement was adequate when this site was first launched. However, things grow and change, and since BrainKing was first born there have been some quite drastic changes! I don't think even Fencer could have predicted the growth direction. He did say right at the start that genuine playing couples would be allowed, no problems. Its single people pretending to be a couple so they can have more than one account that the user agreement seems to be directed at.
Everything is subject to change, and I daresay Fencer has had more important things to do than examine old user agreements to make sure its up to date. Obviously now it needs amending.

I could not give a continental stuff whether your site is finished this week.......next week.....or next year....Just make sure it is right and there wont be any unhappy people.....HOPEFULLY

could not understand why Fencer would post his "User Agreement"....if ***** Did I ever make an official announcement about User Agreement? Of course not. It is not finished*****

Why post an unfinished article??? in my mind it is asking for critique of same....

I do web graphics for people that cant make their own...it is a business based site (I dont make money heheheh)BUT I would never thing of putting up 1/2 a page toady and the other 1/2 in a week or more.

Your User agreement should be THE FIRST thing to be posted in its entirety.
After all webmistresses/masters expect their conditions to be adherred to...don't Game site Hosts expect the same, and if you dont....why bother putting them up for all to see and YOU Fencer have actually started the PANIC not the other way round:(

The only thing I have seen as obvious lately is the banning of a few from the boards while others get away with worse.

Don't let her stand in the cold..

She has said so much more.. Why don't you make some coffee and eat some breakfast (its morning over there, i know) and then read through the lines and give it your fully attention and let her know you understand why she wrote this... We all know you work hard to get it all done; but don't blow this site away by only saying you don't have the time to not listen to people's concerns..

Thank you,
Radiant 34

You have a good thing going, don't let others blow what you have worked so hard to build.
That's right. I won't. Who doesn't want to believe me, doesn't have to. But it should be obvious to everyone that not everything can be done immediately, especially as a part time job.
Once more - give me one week. Or continue wasting my time asking the same questions over and over and it won't take a week, it will be another month.

I very seldom comment on how things are run here. I used to love this place. Fun fun fun.....
People made suggestions and you were always polite in your answers.
Something changed. I don't know if it was money related or what. But people will speculate.
You change user agreements and wonder why people question?
It's like making a post. If you don't want comments on it, save it until you do.
A lot of unfair things have been going on at this site IMO and it's wrong. This is your site, run it anyway you want but keep in mind word of mouth goes a long way. Keep the ones you have and strive for more don't run them off.
If someone that plays here pays $1 or $100 they should be treated them same. Not I like you better or you give more.
A prime example is Wal-mart stores they're booming because a dollar is just that a dollar. A customer should be a customer.
I'm glad they feel that way, I have stock.
Cheating is rampant here among other things but MY biggest problem is with customer service. NEVER and I mean never would I tolerate one of my CS people being rude to a customer.
I know there maybe a language barrier on a few things but the majority of people here would help.
If someone here has a problem with something it ought to be addressed with out the risk of being banned for stating an opinion becaused someone didn't like you. You have a good thing going, don't let others blow what you have worked so hard to build.

Backoff has been my bookkeeper for awhile. Please make checks payable to Linda @ fair play for everyone.us

LOL @ Backoff

In the mean time until Fencer gets the new payment system up and running, you can all send your payments to me. Small unmarked US bills only please:

LOLOL @ all of you.. Poor Anders, I am sure it was just an example; but a very hilarious one! ;O) HAHAHAHA..

That is a good one. I really don't think he knew his words would get him into trouble. But if it does, he has a lot of explaining to do to his wife!!!! LOL
