oldhamgirl: Why do you use such a buggy browser as MS Internet Explorer 7 is? Try Firefox instead. Furthermore, there are no ActiveX controls on BrainKing because I hate this technology.
Ok let me try asking again. Everytime I have a move on this site, and this has only started today, why am I getting a pop up saying "click to run an active X on this webpage". It is driving me nuts.
thanks yes same here in the morning, it has happened once already, more in the evening here maybe when its busy, who knows. Now I have another problem if anyone can help me, all of a sudden, only on this game site, I keep getting a sign up about Active X, I have never got it before, help ???
oldhamgirl: i only am thrown out of the site about once every morning .. which also seems to be the time when fencer puts up the link to the brainking.info news
Fencer: Will be the current layout available once the new one can be used? I have 800x600 and I like to have all the information without a horizontal scrolling.
AbigailII: What do you mean "less games"? The amount of data is still the same, there is no reason to hide some games. About a horizontal scrolling - it's not necessary if you use at least 1024x768 screen resolution. Which should not be a problem, nowadays. There is no point to restrict ourselves to 800x600 only.
I've looked at the new page. All the information is there, at about the same place. I guess lots of people like the castle theme, but I'm not at all big on fluff. I do notice that NewGameList shows less games of the "games where it is my turn" list (which for me is by far the most important information on the page). And it requires horizontal scrolling where the current interface doesn't. That despite the new page using a smaller font (border line small for my taste).
I'd say that for looks, NewGameList wins. For usability, the current page wins.
Tulip: are you sure you havent already rolled the allowed number of times and its just time to click your selection on the board? i did that where i left a game after the last roll and came back to it to find no boxes - cause i had already rolled the allowed number...
Fencer: why not just create another board for questions such as...... it is slow today or is it crashing alot today , a page just on its own then no one would be scared to ask thesetype of questions , it would be handy for people to see if its just brainking or there own pc ect
I just went away for a little while, and people jumped all over that problem. Very Impressive! To answer BBW question, I'm using Mozilla Firefox. Also I scan my computer daily for spyware/adware/virus/etc. It runs on a timer like most people have, but I will run it manually and see if that solves the problem. Thanks for the input.

EDIT: I found that IE does not have the problem. I can makes moves on the games and delete messages without getting that download popup. Maybe its a problem with Firefox?
Preachor: Show game is the name of the applet on the server that is used to open the game page -- have you tried allowing the download to proceed even once? It may work. Otherwise, try clearing your cache, something may be corrupted in there.
I keep having these issues when I'm going into another game, or when I try to delete messages from my box. I get a popup to download a file. The message is as follows:
Show Game which is a: application/octet-stream from: http://brainking.com Would you like to save this file?
I get this problem often. I cancel the file download, because obviously its not a downloadable file. Then I click refresh and it brings me back to the main Game List page. Then I try to click on one of my games from the list and I get the same problem. Any ideas?!
Fencer: So the rating of your team players does not count for anything. You can have 8 players with 1900+ BKR, BUT if they have not won many games, they can still get an overall rating of 900 for example ?
How are the Team BKR's worked out ? It seems it does not have anything to do with individual players in the team and there rating. So i presume it is done on results for that team in either a Team Tournament (one of Fencers) or a challenge (against another Fellowship, or both ?
Tulip: there are several hypergammon tournaments in which more than 1 player have the same score in the end .. they are all declared winner
i would guess the same would happen if a 2 player final would end in a draw ? but i have never been in such a situation .. maybe someone can find an example ? ;)
