It seems to have been all fellowships, but I believe it is fixed now. Try again. (It is back to normal for me, anyways)

rod03801:Both of these Sarah & Angie Sinking Sensation and Knights Of The Round Table also have the same problem.

I also have a problem creating tournaments in that I go through all the settings etc, click on 'create' and a blank page comes up. Incidentally when choosing which game why can't we select All Games like we used to be able to?

rod03801: Since it stops showing the fellowship right before the list of games are shown, even if the fellowship does not have the new game - I would guess a small bug that has to do with the new game added to the site.......

Is the 'All Games' option going to come back sometime ?

EDIT

I just tried to create a Random Elimination Tournament, but it just went to a blank screen with url - http://brainking.com/en/DoTournament

I will try another way

EDIT 2

Tried it a couple of different ways using Random, it will not let you

I dont see any harm letting pawns finish ponds that they have started before becoming pawns? It doesnt happen that way with tournaments, does it?

I think you can get kicked out of tournaments that have not yet started, and the same could be done with ponds, but again, I dont understand the reason to not let pawns finish their started ponds?

Sujet: Serious security flaw found in IE

Users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed. The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.

Microsoft urged people to be vigilant while it investigated and prepared an emergency patch to resolve it.

"Microsoft says it has detected attacks against IE 7.0 but said the "underlying vulnerability" was present in all versions of the browser."

"The message needs to get out that this malicious code can be planted on any web site, so simple careful browsing isn't enough."

rabbitoid: I don't....

I've only seen two articles on MS recently. This one and another which reported a mess up by MS over a patch that caused some people to lose the internet connection thanks to compatibility problems with a firewall program.

.... I in that case had to phone MS to find out which patch to remove.

.... Oh there has been one incident regarding MS though over policy which I took them to task relating to a laptop makers ability to keep software before a certain date that was basically essential if the laptop went unstable and needing a complete wipe and reload.

..... In the end MS said sorry and sent me a free copy of XP sp3 for my partners laptop.

Sujet: another pawn issue

Fencer, if you are going to change some pawn things around.... when you revert back to a pawn, you should not receive group fellowship messages anymore, my box is full of them, and I cant even get in there to change my preferences, it should just be automatic?

by the way: I have this opponent who sets vacation days for next year, out of his stock from this year. Then, come Jan 1st, he can add to them.

This is surely not the way this is intended to work. why, in a couple of years he can set 365 off days! Now, if I could figure out the way to make this gimmick work for me on my job -

Why this guy ever paid for a black rook, if he goes this far to find loopholes in order not to move in games, is beyond me.
