coan.net: Thanks! thats better now!

Czuch Czuckers: Plus make sure you picked the right option.

ICON = the little picture next to your name

PICTURE = this is the "bigger" picture that is in your profile if they click on the icon.

Czuch Czuckers: I think the next update irt will go (every hour or so ,maybe)

I can still see myself, am i the only one, or does it take some time?

Jason: Thanks, that was too easy, I just didnt see it before!

Czuch Czuckers: In your profile there is a drop down list to deactivate your icon ect .

Is there a way for me to remove my picture?

MadMonkey: lol i have that problem on a daily basis

Family Man: Easy enough to download IE by going to their website.

LOL, I dont even have IE anymore, or any other browsers... hmmm, now what?

Its a casino ad, and it looks and acts normal on my main page, but all other pages it gets all jumbled and spreads out and covers my game boards etc, I do have ad block as well, shouldn't that take care of it? I will try IE to see if it is the same.

Family Man: If the add is interfering with the rest of the page maybe that's a bug or simply an add that Fencer failed to check properly. Check to see how it shows up on other browsers and if turning on/off any addblocker does any difference.
Then PM Fencer about your conclusions - I'm sure he never intended for an add to interfere with the site... pawn or no pawn...

rod03801: I have ad block plus and the casino ads are still here bleeding onto my game boards and pages?

Even if I have to view ads they should not bleed onto my pages, something else must be wrong, any ideas?

Family Man: Renew your membership?

LOL

Well, your other choice would be to use AdBLock Plus, if you use Firefox.

Now that I am a pawn, what can i do about all the ads that bleed into my game boards etc???

MadMonkey: I had many problems this morning before work (around 6:30AM Eastern US) but I visited the site a few times through the day during breaks at work and had no problems, and haven't had any problems all evening.

Me too, me too

MadMonkey: Thanks , at least now i know i am not the only one having probs .

Jason: I got here about 10.00am our time, and it was useless for about 2 hours.
I made 10 times as many moves on BugCafe as i did on here, which is crazy as i only have about 20 games there,
Rest of the day is has not been too bad here until about an hour ago.
Now i just keep getting

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Its just done it again in another BrainKing Tab while i typed this.

It only appears to be here though, all my others i am using are fine

Is it just me or is there problems with the site today/yesterday ,its been really bad for me ;(

redfrog:

redfrog: especially considering you sent them to the wrong person - I didn't get any sugestions from you

pauloaguia: You might want to change that to "if someone gets votes from 100 different people..."

Tuesday: I'm planning to have regular interviews and then some others at special situations. Some will be chosen by the previous interviewee and some by everybody. And on occasion I may just pick one at random.
I still haven't set it all in my mind yet, I'm just playing some things as I go along. I already have loads of ideas and I plan to have some surprises now and then

Bottom line is - if you think somebody could be a good candidate just drop me a line - all votes will count for something, either now or 5 months from now or 3 years, who knows. I have nothing against pawns unless someone tells me they can't be interviewed...
hint - first one who gets 100 votes will get an instant interview, no matter if another one is already running or not

I really like that you have set a date. Much better than being in the dark on when to stop sending questions and when the interviewee will receive them.. very good idea!

Czuch Czuckers: No fair, I wanted to do the drum roll
I had forgotten the new rule about the last interviewee picking up the next in line. But since some other people had voted for Vikings as well, I went along and asked him if he accepts the challenge. Since he said yes, the question period is now open. The votes from other people will be accounted for in special occasions, I'll tell more about it when the time is right. In the meantime if anybody wants to nominate someone else to be interviewed, you can still do it, weather or not a selection process is in course.

So, as of now, send me your questions for Vikings . Ask anything. He says the site won't be the same after his interview, and that we're all doomed, so it's up to you to prove him right/wrong . If there are questions you feel you can ask anybody, tell me about it so you don't need to send them for every interview. If there is any question where you want to remain anonymous say it as well.
The clock is ticking and on the 14th October I'll create the questionaire to send to Vikings. So start writing

Tuesday:

redfrog: were doomed

Jim Dandy: Let me clarify (since a certain player seems concerned via pms of my posts intentions)I've always enjoyed your contributions to varios forums.If interviews cause interesting posters to back off that's not a good thing,I can understand how it can be disarming,maybe I just don't notice your posts these days

Czuch Czuckers: I've wondered about this for awhile.You seemed to be much more active on the boards pre-interview.Coincidance,or does it cause one to retreat?

pauloaguia:

Well since I was the last person who was interviewed...... I will start off the new trend by nominating who i would like to know more about, and make the next interviewee


drum roll please........




VIKINGS!!!!!!



YEAH!!!!!!

Rose: she deserves it, it is obvious that she had practiced being pc instead of honest

Vikings: Perfectly.. From what I understand some people in the US don't have maps...



* That poor beauty contestant wont ever live that one down.

is asking why people can't find the USA on a map acceptable?

pauloaguia: LOL Oh ok sorry, its been a loooooooonnnng day! Yes I understand now

Ewe: But this is for later. For now start sending me your sugestions for the next vict... person to be interviewed
The part about the questions was a reply to coan's post. But that's for later, for now I'm accepting nominations. You can send more than one name if you wish, just try to send them all at once.

Ewe: which is why you must send me the names of the people you want to interview. So I can pick one.
I'll collect nominations until the end of this month. When I announce the "winner" in October you can send your questions then.

Tuesday: read back to pauloaguia last post, he asks for questions first then says he will announce who it is.....unless Ive read it wrong??? I think he must be choosing who it is, but I still think we should know who it is first then questions second.

Tuesday: LOL exactly why we would need to know who it is first....otherwise we may aswell have a standard interview questionaire

Just thought, otherwise we could just have a standard set of questions for all? Then each person picked to be interviewed just fills in those questions!

pauloaguia: I would need to know who the person is before I ask a question, or it might not be relevant.

pauloaguia: I've updated the information above - you might need to remind me to update it from "send suggestions for new person" to "send questions for XXX" when the time comes.

On the interview page, it still lists the last coordinator - but Fencer will have to change that once he has some time.

coan.net: I wouldn't have put it better myself. Change the above to link to this post of yours so that everyone knows of the rules

Just a little addon to your 3rd point: If you want your questions to be reused for future interviews or would like to keep it anonymous, let me know. I believe this is how it worked in the past and I can see some reasons for it being so, so I think I'm going to keep this rule. If nothing of the sort is requested the questions will be used only for the current interview and will be credited to their author.

But this is for later. For now start sending me your sugestions for the next vict... person to be interviewed
Send as many as you like (but try to send them all in one message, ok?).
You have until the end of the month. I'll announce the lucky winner in October.
