Do you mean the "global" brightness of the white background on all site pages?
I will add a new option to set a bg color by a user.

Does anyone have sensitivity to the brightness that the back-ground here gives out..? I have 2 players that love this site, but won't play anymore because they say it's too "bright" and hurts their eyes far too much to continue.. Is there a choice of back-ground shade or color on here we can choose from..?

Sure. Set the same e-mail for all players who log in from your computer.

I have set my setting so that I will be emailed when it is my turn, but is there a way where you could get one email instead of 30 because I don't check my email before I login on brain king and by the time I do check my email I have a mess of them.

tonyh: No, there is not an automatic draw. But maybe I should add it. I'll add some notes about it to Tablut rules ASAP.
About BKR, it is re-calculated everytime when a game/match is finished. But sometimes it is not changed [see FAQ].

lwmc: Don't worry about that. It is legal to share a computer when playing on BrainKing.com. Everything you have to do is to click on "Logout" link before another player can log in. That's all :-)

In tablut, is there an automatic draw if we repeat moves several times?
Next, if I play a 2 game match and we draw, will ratings change. I ask, because mine never has and I must have had around 10 draws.

I am not a member yet. But Eddie told me about this site and I like it alot. It beat itsyourturn in my opinion, and it has some things goldtoken doesn't have and vise versa.
Anyway.
I will be staying with a friend that has a computer and I told her about brainking. And what I want to know is:
If I play on her computer using my username and password will it mess her up. Because I did with itsyourturn, and her son did also. So there were three people and they evedently thought she had several accounts so she could play more games.And it mess her up and she could not move.
If this will mess her up I guess I will have to play it on my laptop. Please reply.

lol :-) And i hope to keep it that way!!

Shame it didnt take your piece in our game of maharajah chess kevin cos i cant seem to lol xx

Ah-ha! Heh ;-) There is a little bug at the message system. I'll check it.

I got all my pieces taken?? lol :-)

that'll be cool.. I'll give it a look-see, and thanx Fencer.. :-))

I can highlight one the the boxes to make a visible difference.

Fencer, not sure if anyone else is having this as a problem, but is it possible that you could make a simple change with the "note-box" like putting it as a "clickable link" to bring UP the box instead of just having it there..? or maybe just make it a different shade of color might work.. Sorry, the reason I'm requesting this is because there are several times (feeling like a fool here) I have found that I have wrote my message to my opponent in my note-box instead of where it should have been.. then turn around and have to re-write it over again..
also, could you add an "edit" and a "delete" button to it as well..?

And what did you do, then? ;-)

A checkers game i lost came with the message:

You captured all opponent's pieces. (Checkers)

When in fact i did not capture all my opponent's pieces! lol.

Oh brilliant, mystery solved! Thanks for sorting that out Fencer! :o)

AAaaaaaahhh! I've found it! It is influenced by your time zone :-)) But it is only a display problem, the value in database is correct. I'll fix it ASAP.

Lamby: I see 27 and 30 on your profile. Strange. Could you make a screenshot of your browser window showing your profile and send it to me?

Yes I have done the same as Niki, I ticked the 27th as a holiday & on my profile it says the 26th...???

Fencer : thanks for looking into this for me .. I have double checked my profile this morning and it does definitely say that my vacation day is the 26th. On the calendar the 26th is already a holiday, so I've definitely ticked the right one.
:0)

That's why there is a capital "B" ;-)

i still have no brains but hey ive been told that for so many years i mine as well start believing it...haha

Maybe i have a sick mind but i have problems with the "brains" to owe. Every time I see zero brains behind my name i think: I am not a lunatic, i have brains. Can't you give it an other name???????? (lol)

Niki: As I can see, your profile shows 27th December. And when I look directly at the database, you really have 27th December 2002 there. Are you sure that your profile shows 26?

Thank you Kevin! :o)

Nope, i can't help you with that! I've never had to use vacation days...but when i just did it said 26th on my profile too...not sure why it would do that! Maybe Fencer will fill us in here...lol

thankyou for that :0) (and Lamby for asking :-))
though I have just ticked the 27th Dec, and then when I look at my profile, it says my vacation day is the 26th .. any ideas ?

if you go to your settings page on the left...and click on the Calendar on the top you can check the boxes beside the days to make the vacation. It also lists there the site holidays and your days off.

Please could someone tell me which days are already allocated for holidays & also how we book our holidays, I cant seem to find a list of the days which are already booked or how to add my own!???? :o)

Uh-oh, a message is missing in the resource bundle. I'll fix it ASAP :-)

49 8517|20 0 (Tank Battle)

This was the subject of a message i got. The game was a draw. (against stromovous)

sure you can :-) you just can't join the same team for two fellowships...such as the Line4 team :-)

(you can only be a member of the Line4 team for one fellowship)

Fencer is it possible to be a member of TWO fellowships?? ONE rough tough and mean line4 one..and Eddie asked me over to his Noodleworld!!! who can say no to that?? :)

Kevin: Visit your fellowship, you can use the Delete option at the bottom of the page.

Aurora: As I can read on Line4 discussion board, you want to create a Line4 fellowship, right? Then you should really consider to upgrade to Brain Rook ;-)

thanks Eddie, Im seriously considering it! :)

Kevin: I'll add the delete option.

I don't suppose there is a way to delete / disband fellowships? Are they there for good once they've been created?

become a member aurora and ill give ya a free ticket into noodleland...:-)

You'd get it if you played at GT :-)
(but i guess even then you might not...lol)

Noodleland??? ROFL..:)

Exactly.

Yep, there is some discussion about this sort of game :-) He is going to implement Teams and backgammon first, then he will start to work on other games (i think).

I know you going all out to sort Backgammon out for us Fencer, any thoughts alongs the lines of Battleboats..... Keep the good work up - MadMonkey

Of course I know that. It is applicable e.g. for a situation with king, rook and bishop against king and rook. The other possibilities are:
1) King and two knights against king and pawn.
2) King, rook and pawn against king, bishop and pawn.
But there are more restrictions for the last two situations, especially about pawn positions.

Now, sir, just what would those 'special circumstances' be?

:) ..Ill be on the lookout, this notes option is really great for ol´folks like me, who tends to forget their strategies!! ROFL..(ok, maybe not THAT old..hmmm..LOL)

Are you aware there are certain circumstances in which 75 moves are allowed, rather than 50?
Sometimes it takes 72 moves to checkmate with optimal play without a pawn move or capture!!!!
