redfrog: You've gotta love the Santa hat our dragon is wearing,a very nice touch

redfrog:i'm hooked up exactly the same way, and i also don't have the problems that are stated here.

Andersp: I use Qwest (local phone company) DSL through the wireless on my laptop - i have heard others using wireless connections dont seem to have the issues that are so common here... im no where near the technical genius required to determine how that could impact anything - but maybe it does...

TarantinoFan:

Vikings: Now I'm scared! Is he going to unleash h*ll on this site? Or am I just freaking out because my son got Gremlins 1 and 2 for christmas and has been watching them over and over for the past couple of days? Hehehehe.

TarantinoFan: I believe they are, but thats just what I read into his post

Vikings: So are the pictures of the little devils supposed to be some clue? I could say a few things about where those blighters live and this site in the same sentence but I would only get in trouble!

you guys should read a little closer to understand what Fencer is going to launch

Bernice:

I found this picture of me only I hope when he installed me in the tower he gave me a instead of the club! Hehehe

TarantinoFan: I thought IT was his clone

TarantinoFan: of course she does LOL.......she wouldnt look like me or she TOO would be breathing fire HAHAHAHAHA

Bernice: Dang does that mean I have to log out and wait for that silly beast to stretch my page again and blow a few fireballs to see if there is really is a princess. I wonder if she looks just like me???? LOL

Fencer:already 2008? we are already 9 1/4 hours into 2008

TarnatinoFanthat means he has "launched" something else...something to slow us all down even further......or perhaps the Princess is in the Tower....waiting to be rescued ROFLMBO

Fencer: Here as well. After 10am already.

So still no hints on what it is exactly?

TarantinoFan: It's been added a month ago. And never used.
Btw, it's already 2008 here.

Things I found this morning that I hadn't noticed before.

General settings page. "Send me an occasional Brainking Newsletter" already checked by default.

Calendar page. A link to the "User Agreement"

Could either one of these possibly be "IT"?

What would the chances be of having a "no right click" on peoples pics that are posted here....there are idiots that save these pics and use them to post to other sites without the permission of the person whose pics they are.
Or better still....BAN the person/persons concerned, who are posting the pics.
I know the right click thing wouldnt solve it completey but it would help to a certain degree

Andersp: comcast works pretty good , in the phila area,Bk has its problems as you know, but not that bad in my opinion, even using wifi earthlink in philly, BK still works ok, not perfect mind you, but ok by me

MadMonkey: Thank you

emmett: Well i have done them on boards so i guess it is the same

Find the YouTube video you want, to the right you will see where is says Embed.
Under that is a Link, just copy and Paste that to where you want to show it

I can't find the old entry where it is explained how to add a YouTube video to one's Profile. I've heard that one must use the code from the embed field. I don't know what that means. If anyone has time, can someone please explain how to do this?

redfrog: You need to tell us which Internet Provider you are using so we all can enjoy the same problem free Brain King as you do!!

redfrog: Well if it is a problem somewhere between BK and user, it makes sense that a page with less information will take less time to transmit then a larger page with more information. (yea, normally with good connection you are talking about fractions of a second worth of extra data - but when there is a slow connection, you could be talking seconds per page saved - which when you have to load many pages right after one another, that can add up to a lot of saved time... and in turn, will give the users even a better illusion that the site is running faster.)

coan.net: I havent been having any problems either - so again it seems odd that we automatically assume is a BK issue when not everyone is experiencing trouble - but i do have to agree that a simplified version of the site would be a nice addition to the growing list of cool features on this site... and btw - im happy to see people using this board to voice concerns without rudeness - and for the most part without sarcasm!! How refreshing....

Careful guys!!!...telling the truth = negativism

he said. It.

Fencer: Time to launch WHAT, exactly?????????

At last. Time to launch it.

Why don't we just Clone Fencer so when one is sleeping,the other is awake making sure everything is running smoothly.

TarantinoFan: hahaha.......my sentiments exactly LOL.........

Bernice: Love the diamonds girly. Christmas pressy?

And as to the subject of discussion.........I didn't even bother asking to have my time out games reinstated after the clinical death because I am so "over" this site. Enough with breakdowns, shutdowns and slowdowns. I would love a return to the game site I joined a couple of years ago where it was fun to come and play instead of being weighted down with little red numbers and fancy crap I never imagined let alone thought I might want or need.


PS. I wish my cursor would turn into a shining sword of steel so I could rid myself of the beast for good!

show Fencer the money and he MIGHT do something you want, but I very much doubt it......too hungry and ......
get rid of the silly dragon thingy with the castle layout.....looks like a kids play area....Im still waiting for the damsel in distress HAHAHAHA

Binabik: yea, that has been my request (along with many others) - that is just to have a very striped down version of the pages - with just the information needed (like game, game stats needed to play game, and that is about all. (along with a link to the "full" in case you want to know what your BKR change will be, what tournament it is in, etc.....) (I wrote in detail once what should and should not show up on the page somewhere.)

I'm not having issues right now, but that still does not mean I would not like to see this request. This is first a game site - so a page that has a way to play the game without all the extra "fluff" would be a great addition to this site.... not to mention hopefully speeding up site speed for players.

srnity: Yes, I have cable and that is not the problem...

beach: I agree with you, the fun part has become scarce - it's become a relief to go to another site to make my moves there.....

Binabik: Yup ....... and that's with a high-speed internet connection too ....... I dunno ...

Binabik: I agree, I found since christmas that this site has been painful to attempt to play on it. It takes forever to make a move, it has become a chore for me more then a fun place to come and play. I know we aren't supposed to complain about the speed, but I agree maybe alot of these extras we seem to be getting are really not need, after all its supposed to be a game site, hopefully the speed improves in 2008

Sometimes I wish we could have a twin site for BK - without all the bells and whistles, just a site where you play the games. It seems that every time improvements are made, it takes the site several days, at minimum, to recover. For the last week, again, it's been so slow - the pages load in pieces, it takes forever to connect and again there are the darn white pages - "Try again later"...... Of course there will be times when there will be some problems - but this is getting so frustrating. Oh, I know, I'm not supposed to say anything about it anymore, but sorry, I consider it my right as a paying member to bring this up... again...... especially since plenty of other players are experiencing the same thing..... again....

Puckish: oh ok...so now we know!!

Its when Fencer offers a two year for the price of one year membership bonus!

Puckish: why do you keep posting that?  

code red code red code red

Puckish: You answered your own question Chucky.

Is the time out checking process disabled due to the latest already explained problems, or is this due to something completely new and different?

Puckish: No need to worry, Fencer will fix it !! 

Nirvana: and the ponds as well?

Fencer: Clinical death:

what about the games that timed out because of it?

redfrog: I second that!!...couldnt said it better myself!
