Bwild: It would be good as an option, because I like having the blog box at the top of my page when I log on. I read every entry. I don't want to read it on a seperate feed, because I probably wouldn't read it every day in that case.

pauloaguia: ahhhh I see what you mean.

Eriisa: With RSS I can subscribe to the feed with comments to the blog entries. I won't see any comments just by looking to the main page on BrainKing.com

pauloaguia: LOL! and I look at it the other way.... Why bother with the RSS when I know I'll see it on the main page. Yep, that is truly a reason to have the permanent remove choice.

redfrog: I'm inclined to aggree with Bwild. I already subscribe to the RSS feed of the blog, why should I have to read the same blog entry twice?
Also, it's not about important news. Fencer just proved that by submiting a News entry this week about the scheduled downtime - he didn't post it as a blog entry, clearly stating that both of them are for different things...

Funny thing: I've grown so used to of clicking the remove link without even reading the blog entry first (since I'll read about it eventually on my RSS client), that I almost removed the scheduled downtime news entry without reading it (and this is particularly important to read, since I usually send Fencer a translated version of the News). Point is: if you just remove or ignore the blog entries, you risk not paying enough attention to the really important news...

Bwild: just think of it as just one more button to click once every 24 hrs - taken in context with how many other "clicks" we make on a daily basis - it will fade from your memory quickly - besides - maybe someday as you move to remove - you will see something that catches your eye.....

Rose: yes, it only removes the current blog entry. The new one will come up.

Eriisa: He asked for a permanent fix. It comes back the next day even after you hit remove.

Bwild: Just click 'remove' when it pops up, and voila! You can remain happily in the dark.

any way I can keep this nuisance permenantly removed from my main page?
no offence Filip, but its really quite boring.

Hi all,

OK, OK, I apologize for being inactive lately, but I'm fully back .  I am completing the list of questions for Emma's interview.  You can see a link to her profile on top of this page.  I need a couple of questions before I send the list to Emma, so hurry :-)  I'll be waiting, but not very long.

fakar10:  I thought that might be the problem.  It's working now, it will be interesting to see what it does to My Yahoo when the list is empty.

alanback: Try it when you have some games where it's your turn to move. Looks like it doesn't handle the empty list very well yet.

alanback: Hmmmm...I just tried it for the first time...I get a list of links to my games waiting for me to move

Here's what I see when I click on the RSS icon:

XML Parsing Error: no element found

MadMonkey: oh ok..sorry, couldn't resist

MadMonkey: dunno, but that's a nice add for RSS users!~

baddessi: theres a blog about it on the .info site, just not here yet

MadMonkey: forever and a day?

How longs that RSS feed been on the Main page

kintori is banned from this board, his last posts are deleted
any further talk about this subject .. please continue it anywhere more appropriate ;)

Eriisa: however there are now 45 meaningless posts

Gordon Shumway: The post was still there when the comments was made. The comments all stopped once the post was removed by a moderator.

I don't find it very helpful to come online and see 42 new posts on BrainKing.com board - all making fun of a deleted post. If the original post gets deleted - what's the point in keeping the responses? It just leaves people confused. I think it is a good practice of other discussion board systems to remove a whole thread, not just the root post. Or not to remove it, but to move it to a troll fare - a cemetery for deleted posts.

Bernice: LOL, nope, I was afk cooking dinner and eating dinner.

But I have to admit, I had more laughs over what you guys wrote tonight!!!!

oops, topic,,, uh.... BRAINKING !!


(guess that should work) now to go try to keep my games for timing out. ala white rabbit and all that..... I'm late, I'm late!

for keeping an eye on the board in the absence of mods...back to what the board's about please...Brainking

well it looks as tho Eriisa has done the deed....good one.....3 hours that took....not your fault :)

Hey we are on the wrong board lol, what is on on GC

Jim Dandy: Who knows, the FIDE might be an authority but I'm still in doupt. Isn't chess the most simple game on earth?

gogul: Maybe a shortage of opportunity to put them to use explains his lousy mood

I got one: Fencer, your english is some of the badest english has ever seen. But that was five years ago

Thanks, that was a funny one. Next

srnity: And I kept it pithy.

Jim Dandy: If you've seen kintori's profile you could think about many safes

Tigger: Thanks..... that was enlightening and educational....................................

Bernice: More likely logged on but away from her computer. I do that all the time. Plus you can't see the boards if you are busy playing the games. :) But never fear, I am here. I'm of no real help but I'm here.

However, I will be remiss if I don't point out the inconsistency in K calling for adherence to an unwritten social contract while simultaneously severely violating several principles of the written one (User's Agreement).

But then I'm a , what do I know?

.......and I just gave it the "boot" to page two.......

Two Hours And Running............................glad there wasn't any money involved

Not a Floosie is online and has been all along I think.....she must just be logged on and isnt watching the boards

Looks like I put the k-word on hide just in time.

when a Mod comes on....they will take the whole lot and no-one will ever see it again LOLOL....goes to show they dont have enough Globals Mods if there isnt any on at this moment....it will be interesting to see how long this stays, and they worry about children seeing such things....should be more Mods....

Anybody else wanna guess (or extrapolate) ?

srnity: it's friday night. I give it a b it longer, I would say the late nighters in europe should be getting home in an hour or so

Vikings: It's the only reason I'm still here - it's been one hour and one minute...I give it fifteen more

nah, I say we start a pool to see how long it takes to get rid of the post

I want the magic wand so i can make him dissapear

Jim Dandy: Safe is good - works for me

gogul: I'm putting my money on safe.Happy seems a longshot at best.

gogul: ROFLMBO
