if holidays are taken/booked i think they show up at the bottom of the game board before you make a move (it worked this way in bk1 not sure about this version though)

He's a Pawn, so that would explain the extra 5 days. That's probably the reason, then.

I looked, and didn't see anything that says his vacation days are set. I guess that doesn't mean they aren't. I guess I just expected there'd be some sort of notification if an opponent took a holiday.

Or maybe I'm just blinder than I think...

:P

does your opponent have vacation days set? that may be the extra days :)

I have a game of loop chess currently in progress. The time limit is 3 day per move. My opponent *just moved*. Why does the status page say there are 9 days, 23 hours left until timeout?

*blink*

That's a helluva lot more than three days. Even if I lump the weekend hours onto that, that's still only 5 days. Why are there almost 5 extra days?

Welcome, Frank!

By the way--only members ranking higher than Pawn can add an image to their profile.

;)

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Bernice: It can be your provider, it can be a network problem somewhere on the way, it can be anything. But BrainKing is performing well, no problem is here.

I am with a good "provider" not a cheap, get everything for nothing, limited crap.

I have asked them what the problem could be abd they say,"they do not have any access problems to anywhere...

Can you recommend a good site for vaccuuming and dusting?

it is now 5.03 and it has taken this long for the page to reload after my post :( :( :(....ive done all my vacuuming and dusting :(

It's fine for me.....

desperately, desperately slow here...all other sites OK...anybody else....it just took 2 minutes to load this BK page :(

we are all comedians i see LOL.... bumble can type with his toe(s)???

Toes? Plural?

Stop typing with your toes bumble LOL

LOL:)

you have to become a paid member to add your picture to your id

darn, you all type faster than me :(

frs: you have to be a paid member to add an image.
Please excuse my slow typing.

Oh!

Thanks for your - astonishing fast - answers, help and support! :o)

LOL:) you both type faster than me!! LOL:)

hi Frank...
you can only add an image to your user name after you have upgraded your membership to a knight or rook level.

frs - you have to be a paid memeber with knight or rook level (or higher) to add your photo.

harley types faster than i do LOL :)

Hi, frs, welcome to BrainKing :o)

Adding pictures to profiles is quite new to BrainKing, which is probably why there isn't much information about it yet. Unfortunatly, pawn members can't add pictures to profiles.

I'm pretty new at the BrainKing site - but 'll probably revisit it frequently and 'll stay here for quite a while.

I 've tried to find infos, how to submit a little image to my user profile -- but didn't find anything. Neither within the FAQ nor within the help section nor via "my profile" nor via menu item "settings". Etc.

I ask you, 1) to tell me, how to add a little image to my user profile, 2) to add these info to BK's FAQ or BK's help. Or 3) to confirm that new users - at pawn level - can't add an image to their user profile.

4) Maybe I'm blind and have just not yet discovered how to and where to submit a small image to my BK user profile (and/or this forum).

In advance,
many thanks for any hints and support. :-)

Kind regards,
Frank (frs)

alright! you got it! ;)

Pick your models :-D
I'm not sure how complicated the logos would be to paint.

no answer....dang!! LOL:)
hey,Fencer...how about BrainKing.com t-shirts with fellowship logo's on the back?

make my order? does this mean I get to pick the models? ;)

bwildman: Make your order :-D
ScarletRose: I am afraid it would be a little bit more expensive :-)

and if I request a small one.. (for the mascot.. a persian cat..) will I get one as well.. ;)

Dang,Eriisa...I thought we'd see you modeling the shirt!!
Fencer,maybe if you sent out a few t-shirts to be modeled? ;)
3x large,for me....and you know what color and saying;)

game alphabetically would be best I would say :o)

but its useful anyways :o)

Great... right after I made myself a list in the new Notepad of the teams I belong to, you give us a different way! :-)

Actually it looks good. My only suggestion would be to sort the list be either game name, or Fellowship name. It kind of looks now it is sorted by when you signed up for a team.

I have added a list of player teams to Profiles. Some people were complaining they couldn't remember all teams they belong to :-)

LOL AD

Eriisa: I am glad to hear it :-)

cool, a place to put all my fart jokes on so I'll remember them for the joke board! Great idea Fencer!!!!

Hey Cindy, did you hear the one about........

Notepad - it is a place where you can keep personal notes about anything.

For example, maybe you found out someone has a second ID, you can put that information in your Notepad so you can remember it 5 months from now...... Or maybe there is a game you want to keep "bookmarked" so you can look at it at a later time, so you can put that info in the Notepad..... Or basicly any information you may want.

Before now, some of us would just send messages to ourselfs with information we want to keep. Now we can just put it in the Notepad.

Hey Fencer!!!! I got the T-shirt today. It is wonderful! Its well worth every penny.

Glad im not alone wondering LOL

Thanks Skyking...i was going to ask the same question!
:-)

What's the notepad for, Fencer?

LOL!!

I wish all newsreaders looked like you, Goonerg!

Japan Rejects Bobby Fischer's Deportation Appeal, AP Reports
July 28 (Bloomberg) -- Japanese immigration officials today rejected former chess champion Bobby Fischer's appeal of a decision to deport him for trying to travel on an invalid U.S. passport, the Associated Press reported.

Fischer is wanted in the U.S. on charges of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by flying to Yugoslavia to play Boris Spassky in a chess match in 1992. U.S. citizens at that time were forbidden from involvement in business or commercial activities in Yugoslavia because of the violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Fischer, the only American to hold the world chess title, was detained by officials at the Narita airport outside Tokyo two weeks ago. Fischer considers the detention a ``kidnapping,'' AP cited John Bosnitch, an adviser to Fischer, as saying.

Fischer, 61, has until Friday to take the appeal to Japan's justice minister, and can also seek a court injunction. Japanese immigration officials refused to comment on the case, AP said.

I had the sound turned off on my tv ,but saw his name,what's up?Anyone know?

You've got it :-)
