I know that if i set vacation days then move the game when it comes back it has the extended time ..now if i dont move the game i presume that after the next update of the site (script run or what ever its called) the time will also be updated ...but i have not actually tested that far .. but either way auto vacation would take over if its set

I agree with you Chessmaster 1000, I liked it a lot beter when it would be added to the main page also.

BUT I think the change was mostly done for performance reasons on the server side - rather then having to calculate if vacations is there while displaying every line of turns on the main page, but now only when the "time out" script runs. Fencer has done many of these "little things" to help the performance of the server, and the site has been doing very good recently!

Ok, Jason. But you say: after you make a move, then the time will change. I don't think you support that if i don't make a move then the time WILL NOT change? Do you sya that?
Or with other words what is your opinion about: "if i don't play a move then the time will not change........."?

BIG BAD WOLF put it perfectly, please Jason clarify to be sure............

Chessmaster1000: i didnt truely trust it either (because the times didnt move strait away) but i have just tested it on a one day time limit , came back with 18 days left to move so works ok ;)

Hmmm OK thanks, but why this change.......? I can't fully trust it now although i know it will do its job.
I am one of them who support "If i don't see it, i don't believe it!"

Chessmaster1000: the times on your main page wont change ...untill you have made a move with the game ...once it comes back it will have the days added to the time limit , whether you have auto vacation set or not

That is correct - you will no longer see the time actually change on the game sheet to take in effect vacations. What happens is when the time "runs out", the script will check if you have a vacation set (or auto vacation set), and if so - will add 24 hours at that time.

I have one question about Vacation days: I add 1,2,3......it doesn't matter how many, BUT the time until the game's expiration doesn't change (Actually it doesn't seem to change -- it doesn't appear at main page timings).

For example the closest game now to expire is at 16 hours. And the second at 1 days and 5 hours. When i add one vacation day (i have activated the auto vacation if this matters) the main page times doesn't change at all. The closest game to expire remains at 16 hours and the second at 1 days and 5 hours.
While it should be for the closest game to expire at 1 day and 16 hours and for the second at 2 days and 5 hours.

Why this is not happening............? Is it normal...........? Does anything to do with auto vacation...........?

Arctic Warrior: You are most welcome!

Partica:

TY very much

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludo_(game)

Arctic Warrior: doesnt work for me for some either

Anyone have a good link for Ludo description & or rules?
Much appreciated

You're probably correct. I think I'd forgotten that I'd submitted the move.

Czuch Chuckers: It depends on your "lines" setting i do believe Chuck

IN pro 5 in line, its supposed to be x's and o's, but I have the typical black and white circles like in regular 5 in line.

Dont get me wrong, I like it this way better, maybe it is a webtv thing?

ughaibu: I was thinking that once you started making a move, you could not go through the move history without either first submitting or cancling the move.

Yesterday's most active player: sLaMdAnCe (1204 moves) (more ...)

Maybe I'm dreaming.

I was looking at a move but hadn't submitted it, neither had I cancelled it, at that point I reviewed the game from the start and was lead up to the move I was considering which had become a submited move. I'll post on bugs, but.

Thanks.

ughaibu:

Sorry, I didn't intend to sound so patronising.

ughaibu: afraid so

That medieval approach.

ughaibu: you could put them on your favorites and have them show up on your main page

LOL

for so long? :)

Thanks. Truth is that there are still some boards I'm not yet banned on.

ughaibu: Simple.. just don't go to the link Discussion Boards..

I'm not a wolf, say human speak.

What I take is have an option to use a fixed-width font such as Courier - and to be able to use multiply spaces.

It was never on my favourites, how do I remove a public board from my perception of the site?

go to each board u want to remove.. click remove from favs.. then refresh page twice.. they will b gone off your favs list

But when I come to Discussion Boards they remain, like ingrown toenails or Valentine cards from the ex.

yup
all public boards

top of page on each board
(remove from favourite boards)

Public boards?

So just remove them from your list.... Its easy to do
go to each one, top of the page - remove from favs

I'd like to be able to remove the boards on which I'm banned from my silicosphere. I know this is a Feature Request but as I'm banned there. . . . . .

Rose: yes.. sort of like this
which doesn't work due to having to
use extra dots.. or characters since using space bar just doesn't work..

this is supposed to be a garland with bulbs dangling..

*Editing remarks* When copying into the text box it appears like it should.. but, when posting it loses the look.. bummer

No AD means ASCII art - images.. Not just characters

Fencer: ۝۞...tHiNk hE mEANz tHiS sTuFf.

ADizMischievous: What do you mean by "ascii friendly"?

If I create a pond.. and it fills up quickly.. I reset the day to start to today.. .. do I start it manually?? Or does the system?? and right now it shows that it has negative time to start up..

Hopes I didn't mess it up.. was hoping that if I edited the day to start.. that it would just automatically begin..

Bad Bishop: Who wants ascii anyway. :)

Bad Bishop: So true..

ADizMischievous: We can only disable smileys and javascript functions and ignore all the *number* rubbish. :-)

Dang.. Hopefully it wasn't a hacker type thing.. Hmm.. will have to go change my password..

I didn't either ScarletRose.

ScarletRose: To answer your question, I did not have one of those on my screen!

Hey Fencer, sorry if this was asked before but, any plans to make the message box ascii friendly? ;)
