Asunto: Re: Adding a bell sound to the auto-refresh.

(Sorry, complete post, now...)

Spirou: Maybe that's a feature Klokan could add to the SysTray notifier (if not already)?
[Check Server News, post on 29, November, 2005]

Or if Fencer adds it to the site, we will be able to disable it I hope... otherwise my computer would never go quiet

Asunto: Re: Adding a bell sound to the auto-refresh.

pauloaguia: I agree. I suggest three improvements to this:
1- Be optional;
3- The bell stop when we go the the game and start again when we come back to the main page if there is yet game to reply;
3- A click somewhere to stop the bell;

26. Enero 2005, 10:45:38

Asunto: Re: Adding a bell sound to the auto-refresh.

pauloaguia: Or simpler: the sound may play only during, for example, 2 seconds.
The sound may be a little smooth music also ;-).

26. Enero 2005, 10:57:33

Asunto: Re: Adding a bell sound to the auto-refresh.

Spirou: Oh yea.. a little music to the site.. Hmmm that is kewl.. Why stop at just the bell though.. Why not.. Hmmm a song to play continuously, like elevator music.. something comforting.. and relaxing..

Asunto: Re: Adding a bell sound to the auto-refresh.

ScarletRose: In the long run, an endless repetitive music could be sleepy or irritating. Better then to turn on the radio ;-)

Spirou: hehehehe.. I know.. I was just foolin with ya.. due to the fact that everyone has different tastes in music anyway.. and I am sure there would be lots of fuss over that extra type of feature.. :)

But I do like the bell sound feature that was suggested.. :)

Luke Skywalker

music, bell, etc.: please make it optional, or, only for paying members

Asunto: hearts

i dont know if this has been suggested or is even possible 2 do here. but hearts is a cool card game.

Purple

Asunto: PM's

I would like to see a feature where sent PM's could be in bold type until they are read as well as a mechanism for withdrawing unread messages. This may already have been suggested. It should not be too hard because GT has it and they are light years behind BK of course.

26. Enero 2005, 21:17:19

Asunto: Re: PM's

Purple: On that same note.. I would like to see if there is a way to show when and if the message had been read..

26. Enero 2005, 21:29:03

Purple

Asunto: Re: PM's

ScarletRose: the bold type would take care of the if.

26. Enero 2005, 21:33:10

Asunto: Re: PM's

Purple: OooOOppPSss. I should have been more clearer.. I was meaning is there a way to find out when the person you sent the message to has read the message? Like a notification thingy.. and of course when selected perhaps.. that way not all messages are pinging back that they have been opened and read..

Heck.. now I am confused on what I am even saying.. LOL

Basically.. something that tells the sender that the addresses has read the message..

26. Enero 2005, 21:38:45

Rose

Asunto: Re: PM's

ScarletRose: What purple means is at GT they have bold on the message subject if its not read.. so you go to your send box an if you see it unbold u know its been read.. simple format and easy way to see if your message has been opened.

27. Enero 2005, 10:48:06

harley

I think Scarlet wants the time (and date) it was actually read?

27. Enero 2005, 16:05:05

Like getting a confirmation that the person you sent the message to has read it..

how about an option in the drop down menu "move and go to next pond game"?

Like pond's a dynamic environment??

29. Enero 2005, 07:34:30

kitti

I'd like to get a message when a pond is finished. I think now you only get one when you splash into the pond or get the bonus for the round.

29. Enero 2005, 07:45:02

kitti: You should receive it as well.

29. Enero 2005, 07:45:54

Unless I forgot to code it.

29. Enero 2005, 08:05:01

Partica

I received one when I won :o)

Asunto: Re:

Fencer: I have had 2 ponds finish in the last couple days....I do not recall getting notification that they were finished....Only by keeping the URL in my notebook was I able to keep track of who won ...
Perhaps I missed the notification, but I dont think so as I was watching very closely as one of them had a prize attached and I didnt want to miss it :)

29. Enero 2005, 09:27:09

It's possible that some notifications had been lost during a server restart. I'll improve the code to cover such situations as well.

29. Enero 2005, 10:45:42

Jason

I got one when the pond that i created had finished ;)

29. Enero 2005, 16:58:17

coan.net

I have recieved messages whenever a tournament I created ends.

Now by just being in a tournament (not the creator), I do not think you get a message when it ends.

You can also view the Complete tournaments.

29. Enero 2005, 17:11:30

BuilderQ

Well, there is the "You are the tournament winner" message.

29. Enero 2005, 17:13:19

bwildman

are ponds considered tournaments?

Caissus

Asunto: reorganisation of the dbs

For the case of the merging or reorganisation of the chess dbs I would suggest the following disposition:

1. standard chess
2. random chess (includes all random variants like chess960,corner,fortress)
3. other chessvariants with the 8x8 board
4. 10x8 chess (includes Janus,Gothic,perhaps Capabalnca randomchess)

Backoff

I would like a number of ponds won or something on our profiles...

Backoff - Ratings on ponds should be avaible next week :]

29. Enero 2005, 22:58:18

Chimera

How about the most ponds fallen in

also

29. Enero 2005, 23:01:31

Who said next week?

29. Enero 2005, 23:03:06

grenv

The person who looks like being on top of the ratings can't wait to see it apparently

29. Enero 2005, 23:04:52

Asunto: Story DB

It has been suggested that it would be helpful to have a separate bit on that for discussion/chat etc to keep the story lines going more fluently.
Any chance of that please Fencer?

31. Enero 2005, 06:40:36

No chance until the new board structure is created.

I looked but can't find a couple of avatars that would be really cool in the smilies, a 4 leaf clover and a horseshoe for wishing good luck....

MidnightMcMedic Back on 11th January on this board Fencer said 'No more' after granting a wish for a teddy bear (no, I don't understand either!).

I guess he'll add more when he has the time and the inclination.
