keeshound4: may be you can just sent Fencer a screen shot of your problem. it will be more helpfull then saying "I'm ...." ;-)

Try going to Settings and changing your background colour.

They done that earlier , may even have been this board they mentioned it on

No harm in checking again!

*slapped wrist for missing it*!

From the time I registered on this site the setting was always set to a light/white ground. What the heck has happened since is beyond me. I finally had to re-set to a dark background just to be able to read without extra-special, night-vision glasses! Something is wrong somewhere and I never changed a thing until last night when all the other members suggestions came in.

they reversed the color scheme...now Fencer has fixed it...so may need to change it back.I think it must be an issue for pawns.

Ah...those in the cheap seats must strain to see the screen!

I just went to my settings and it doesn't make any difference as to if I click on light/white or dark.......they both show up the same!

LOL:) we all sat in them at one time ;-)

keeshound, its usully the simple things we miss. It may sound like a silly question, but after you click to change white/dark background, did you click on 'save and finish'?

I'm happy with black lettering showing up on a white background.....my eyes are at rest finally!

cheap seats!

perhaps if you sent a message to Fencer...he could clear this up so you can play all 3 of your games undisturbed by color malfunctions ;-)

oops...I see she got it fixed ;-)

Thanks for all your help and to everyone else on this discussion board. Your ideas and comments I searched out. Right now all is back to the way Brainking always was. Many Thanks to All!

no...its a Bailey,but thanks for askin ;-)

Barnum and Bailey perhaps?

Baily is Bristol Creme and not a hat!

Sorry, Bailey's Bristol Creme

Isn't it Bailey's Irish Cream and Harvey's Bristol Cream?

Only heard of the stuff and never drank it!.....although, I understand it might be good for ya!

Know where you've been!

What is "switch piece colors" under checkers settings?

ive read the rules twice now and im not thick ( no laughing pleeeze!)..but i dont get it?..LOL its fun learning but i aint got a clue what im trying to do...any tips?

Tulip, there is a board just for Jungle where you will be able to get hints and tips. here :o)

thanks harley!..will go look,i think ive drowned a mouse ;o)

Aww, poor mouse! :oD

lol..i cant seem to get it out!!..poor lickle thing ;o)

pauloaguia: Several checkers players asked me for this option. When it's set, you'll see white pieces as black ones and vice versa.

I've disabled timeouts until the new timeout system is lauched. The current one is a little, uh, buggy and although it affected only a few players, it would be better to avoid more wrong timeouts in advance.

Is that why I have a red "Game time suspended" on my main page and there's more time added to my games? :)

yep! ;o)

thank you - thank you - too early in the morn for me to think too much :o)

Look on the Gothic Chess board: Only themes "off topic" (ban or not ban).It seems the concept of the different moderators is failed.

It hasn't failed, generally. (To have different moderators). I think it just helps when they get along :o)

true LOL And inter mod respect of decisions works also

That is one of the reasons for the past year, I have been saying that there should be some sort of rules/guidelines that Moderators should try to follow on all public boards - but as you see, each Moderator is left to determin the rules for themselves - and when multiply Moderators try to watch the same room, when one of them see's things differently how things should be ran. (For example, GC room - one see's off topic post as good, other see's it as bad. One see's removing post and leaving user as OK, other sees that post should be put on hide.... etc... etc...) Time like this I'm glad I don't share Moderator job with anyone on the boards I watch! :-)

What would be some rules/guidelines Moderators should have (in my opinion)

1) Post should try to stay on topic of the room. IF post start to go off topic, a friendly reminder should be posted by Moderator to take the talk to General Chat, or where it is appropriate.

2) Foul Language needs to be removed from the board. If a post is a good on-topic post with just place or two of foul language, the post should be edited to remove the foul language, and also at the bottom of the post, you should put *edited by XXXXX for language*

3) If there are multiply Moderators of a room, the first one listed in the MAIN Moderator. If any of the other Moderators comes across someone breaking the rules over and over, they should HIDE that persons and let the main moderator have a look at them to decided if that person should be banned.

4) The MAIN Moderator should be the only person to unban a user. The only exception whould be if the main moderator is off line for more then 4 days, and the punishment has been served by the user.

... of course those 4 are just off the top of my head - probable need to be tweeked more, and more added.

I share moderator positions with others on different boards and have no trouble whatso ever.The gc board has turned into a joke.
Theres a total lackof communication,on behalf of the moderators...myself included...though I have tried.Even though the main moderator cant figure out how to remove his "helpers" I really would like to wash my hands of the whole deal.I thought I could help....but it seems I was wrong.

Exactly, bwild.
When I asked MadMonkey and NOT a floosie to be my co-mods, we laid the ground rules between us.
If I don't agree with one of their decisions, or they with mine, we sort it out in private.

that makes too much sense.

Harley and I have the same understanding.

as do gooner and myself...and Stevie and myself...its an "adult" thing to do.

I have such a hard time trying to invite someone to play. If I go to send invitation that doesn't set up a game. I really feel ignorant in spinning my wheels on what should be a simple procedure.

Here is how I invite a user to a game.

1) Go to that persons profile
2) Find the " Invite PLAYER to a game of ____", choose a game and hit send
3)This page you have lots of options to invite multiply games, who is what color, etc - default is 1 normal game. At this point, you should be able to hit Send.
4) At this point it is waiting for the other person to accept. on the bottom of your main page, you will see a list of invites you have sent.

If you are still having problems, let me know and I can try to help.

What kind of problems are you having?

It is fairly easy if you go to the person's profile, or if they just finished a game with you.

i was making my 2nd move in a gammon game against Zack and i ended up in a froglet game against Capricorn??...which isnt a game of mine!..heheee!
oh well,ill try again ;o)

Those screwdrivers'll get you every time.

ha ha ha!!!..;o)
