speed lasted about 10 minutes....back to the "all day wait" bit....I wish someone would admit to problems and stop trying to fob people off with fancy talk of "yew bewt" servers etc....that are going to improve the USA connection....crap...there is a problem and it is all over.......admit to it, and lets get on with it................. I'm ( along with a lot of others) are sick of the excuses and blame.
alanback: Nope.. I noticed the speed issue on this site right after Fencer admitted to downloading Firefox a week or more ago..
It's amazing how much faster my pages load once I updated to the trial version. Others noticed a change in speed at the same time. Not sure if Firefox is the one really at fault. It may not be compatible with other browsers.. Would that be the first time a program didn't want to run with another similar one.. No.. Aim (AOL Messenger) had issues with both Yahoo and MSN. Even virus programs don't mix with other virus programs. And I am sure if I dug around I could find more examples.
I upgraded to the trial version of the new firefox last night.. and it got very fast again.. So it seems that there is Some Biasness towards IE and perhaps other browsers when using Firefox.. I will also warn since it happened to me. Make sure you restart your puter afterwards. If you still prefer using IE for other sites make sure to keep IE as your default browser.. Firefox tries to be number one there.. last night I couldn't use IE to play on Pogo. This morning it has been corrected but, that is due to my puter restarting.
Doris:It was happening alot to me too, but thn i added the firefox trial and havent had a problem since, the only problem i have now, is Dice poker, where in some cases, it is only allowing me to roll once and not tiwce.
alanback: you are right i should not have replied to it .. i am a weak human sometimes as well :)
i wont go into this subject any further on this board .. if anyone wants to discuss/chat/..anything.. about it .. please tell me where and i will be there
Bernice: why answer me on here and not in a pm ? i asked you in a pm because i was waondering why you asked your question : was it because you wanted to let the people know you were having troubles with your connection ? (thats not what you wrote) or was it because you thought (or hoped) that the message about the slow speed would be deleted (which it wasnt and wont) ..
i asked it to you in a pm because that wasnt a subject for this board (as it was about you and not about brainking)
do you have a slow connection yourself ?
i rarely do .. but most of the times dont .. dont know what is causing me to have a fast connection though
maybe a poll should be held asking people wether their connection is fast or slow ?
but please post your comments on the subject you want them to be about and aimed on something else
when you want to answer on that part .. you know how you can send me a pm
Subject: Re: just thought i would post a positive comment
Roberto Silva: Ummm maybe not BK's fault.. but, one could guess the upgrades could have some hidden bugs..
I upgraded to Mozilla several months ago since that is Fencers preferred.. and obvious outcome has been recorded.. I can still go back to IE and it is sluggish.. but, as of last week it is no fun to play my turns.. the pages slug to load and if I am lucky I won't be taken to a time out page.. That was almost right after Fencers admittance to upgrades of Mozilla.. and if he didn't upgrade Moz.. maybe he altered some nips for the recent frills of his site..
Please stop PM me and asking stupid questions as to why I post my questions or comments....
I would have thought it was obvious....Im one of the dissatisfied customers who cant get the GREAT service that the Dutch, Czech etc get.....wake up to yourself and listen to the birds chirping.....us birdies arent happy....our money is running dry....who is going to lose....not the minions...we can play 20 games without fear...who needs to pay for a site that cant deliver on its promises....not the majority it seems :)
I have quite a few Triple Dice Poker games, going at the moment, and the last couple of turns i have taken it has only allowed me to take one roll. Has this happened to anybody else?
ScarletRose: There are no bugs, there is nothing to fix, if it is slow it is our fault not the site or where the site is. Havent you been reading any of the messages? Its all in our minds that it is soo slow and laggy for us and that we cant get pages to load. Has nothing what so ever to do with the website or that every other site we go to works fine. NOOO it's our fault and our fault alone. Please read the past messages to learn that.
When are the bugs or whatever going to be worked out again?? This is ridiculous.. I even have gotten used to Firefox.. but, anymore it is so sluggish here..
Interesting, I decided to "View Source" on the "DoBoardPost" page...here is what I got: [html] [head] [title][/title] [/head] [body bgcolor="#ffffff"] [/body] [/html]
Note...I formated it to make it more readable and I replaced "<>" with "[]"" with "[]"
Summertop: If there is another computer at your work, can you try that?
Why I say that is that it will narrow down if the problem is with your network (problem with all computers at work), or just your computer (if it works with other computers at work)
Other then that - I'm not sure. Sounds like it does what you want (like a post), but when the page then gives the browner the re-direct to another page - it stops there. My obvious question would be if there was any thing new loaded on the PC.
Well...WHEN a page loads, it loads fairly quick. But I've noticed LOTS of times when it just seems to stop with a blank (white) page. Every page that starts with "Do" stops on me... DoLogin DoMove
I've tried FireFox, IE, Safari, Opera...it seems to not be a browser problem. If I refresh, nothing. If I manually go to the Main page, my action completed (made a move, logged in, etc).
I sure hope this posts gets saved, as I bet it uses a DoSomething page.
FYI...This started yesterday for me. Later I will try this from a different network. Currently I am at work and my firewall might be blocking it (who knows why).
nodnarbo: I had the same problems earlier but now it is literally flying. Considering how much info loads on each page, the speed is rather impressive.
well we have Canada, England, Australia, and where Alanback is....so it is our fault....LOL...there arent any czech ones complaining, so it cant be world wide ROFLMBO
Well at least it's not just ME experiencing this.. It is so laggy and slow to load anything for a few days, well since the latest update I would think. But you all know we will be told to stop griping about it, that is it our fault not the sites.
Anyone know why the site keeps stopping ? I have had numerous messages asking me, but have not been here much last couple of days so could not comment. Been here 30 mins now and spent 20 of them watching the 'waiting for brainking.com' message on my task bar I know there is a problem as when i get back my friends on line list is empty just about, for a few more mins while people try and get back (in fact Who is online list is almost empty as well)
(hide) If you click on a person's name and then click Finished games you will have a list of games that have been completed, then click on the name of the game to get a summary of all of these games, then click on the name of the game again and you will have a game to view and analyze.
