Aganju: You’re totally right. This exists in France.

Carnie: things might have changed... nowadays, some countries have laws that require web sites to allow them to delete all accounts and history. Fencer probably would have to do that manually.

Carnie: it's the user ID 83705. But you cannot access it anymore; the usual link <https://brainking.com/profile?u=83705> fails (and shows your own profile instead).
However, 83704 and 83706 are fine (both are from July 2009).

Looks like someone asked to be deleted explicitly. Or got deleted for exorbitant behavior in some way.</a>

Carnie: It was Jesper_10 ...though how it is deleted i do not know

Carnie: I've never seen this before.

Nothingness: Where it list a players bkr, it shows 100/4000 on the tournament sign up page. So, put 1400 in place of 100 and 1700 where you see 4000. Then only players between that bkr can accept your game. This is just to the left of the <=

When creating a new game im given a few rating options. Such as < or <=.. what do these mean? Let's say my chess rating is 1600.i want to put up a chess challenge but only want my opp rating to be between 1400-1700.. what symbols do I put on the challenge

Mélusine: Happy New Year

There is a place to discuss other game sites

Bernice: You brought it up on a public discussion board, which invites comments from the public. But, yes, that being said, it would be appropriate to end the topic at this point.

Me, to have no problem on the net, I pay with a virtual card. It’s a card valid for only one transaction and I choose the amount I want.
Happy New Year everyone.

Clandestine 1: not necessarily.....I have antivirus installed and lets drop it as it has nothing to do with you.

Bernice: I don’t think they took your card info from here. Otherwise every member would be hacked by now. Likely spyware that hacked your banking info.  But if not, then Fencer would have some explaining to do. 

rod03801: because this is the only overseas spend I have on a particular card...for them to take money off that card they must play in here....and I think the gamesite is called gamez.com

Bernice: On a gamesite that you can't remember? What does this have to do with Brainking then?

Clandestine 1havent you heard of people stealing from credit cards....well that is a bank account in my world.....and they play games on a gamesite that i cant remember the name of but it came up on my bank statement....they will know who they are and so do the police....

Bernice:how does someone swipe money from a Brainking account? Just curious, never heard of that before. 

To the person that thought they could getaway with swiping money from my account...youve been CAUGHT....it is now in the hands of the police...Happy New Year and i hope you go to jail

Bernice:

What she said :)

Merry christmas and Happy NEw Year tto each and everyone known or unknown to me...May you get all that you deserve/want this Christmas and stay safe.

Thank you for your explanation. I feel better now :-)

P-G: It used to be something for a Facebook app which is no longer active (and hadn't been developed by us). You can just ignore it.

P-G:
When I search "Access Code" on this board, I find that it seems to have something to do with the brainking app. That's all I found about it. It's been about 10 years since it was last mentioned.

Right under the "Access Code" of your profile, it says : "Access code is your unique identification string (generated by BrainKing). If you are using third party products to access BrainKing, you might be asked for this code to confirm your identity. This is NOT your BrainKing password, so there is no risk of accessing your private data if you provide this code to external programs.
(*) - invisible to other players"

grillyx: Normally when it's a programming glitch or data-base thing he will if it's quick & he has time. Just drop him a short message including the game link

I remember that problem you have cropping up a long time ago, but I had though it had been patched up

MadMonkey: thanks Ian. Does Fencer do fix-its these days? Shall I drop him a line?

grillyx: Yep, that looks like a Fencer Fix-it problem

The moves before seem fine if you scroll back, its when you get to 17. 19-20, 18-off, 18-off .....obviously a bug, i can not even get your dice throw to show properly on screen

Nackgammon (grillyx vs. *_*)

does anyone else think this is looking suspicious? I have not made anything like move 17. 18-off? what's 18-off?

Carnie: Just Advertising, don't click on them unless you are interested & ignore them

I never log out, so don't usually see them unless I go looking for them

rod03801: How strange. I only see new item and a big database of links above. I don't know what that is for. And l only see the Smiley's l already have under add new item. I don't see any of the others l haven't got. Maybe they only cater for goats? And us us mice are barred?

Mousetrap: If you are clicking on the "Add New Item" that is above the smiley setting section, that is the wrong one. That is for adding items to that "context menu" thing.

Adding smileys works fine for me right now.

When I click on the smiley I want to add, you do NOT see it above there where it shows the ones you've already picked in the past. (Or maybe you do if you only have a couple. I'm not sure)
I choose whatever smiley I want to add, and then I click Save and Finish, below that.

Then when I'm in a message and I click that smiley icon, I do definitely see the new smiley added to my list.

Since you say nothing happens at all, the only thing I could think of is that you clicked "Add New Item" above it. I did that earlier by mistake when I was testing it out. Then I noticed that it added a new line above saying "New link".

I just know that it seems to be fine for me, and I'm no one special. LOL

rod03801: Yes that's it. I clicked on change Smiley's then add new. But nothing shows up on add new . Thank you for answering so quick anyway Do you think someone may have stolen them?

Mousetrap: Do you mean the sort of "frequently used" smileys? (That you get by clicking the smiley beside the word "Message")

If so, I was able to add one. I clicked "Change Smileys"
It takes you "Javascript" tab of your settings.
Scroll down and click "Add Smileys"
Then you see some lines of all the smileys that you don't yet have in your "frequently used" ones.
Click on smileys you want to add
Click Save and Finish.

If that's not what you meant, then I'm sorry.

Are we no longer able to add more smiles in settings does anyone know please?

New member here - nice to not meet you yet but maybe one day! Can I play people for free, in a normal chess game..or is it paid/brains!? Am not too worried about rising up, but can you rise up on games alone, or only pay for next levels etc? Thanks for any help...and if someone wants a game based on hours not days, am ready for my first :) Thanks, KT
