Fencer: I'm one of those who hate all the "system" messages, but I'm also lazy/don't have a lot of extra time - so I have TONS of Message box messages I need to go through and delete.

Any way to sort the message box by subject or from? I would make grouping and mass deleting a lot of message.

Fencer: oh yes, sorry, i have done that

MadMonkey: I meant you could archive system messages that were sent to Message Box before the change.

Fencer: hmmmm you say You can still archive tournament results in your Message Box, well i can not. The last couple of Team & normal Tournament finished messages (from this morning) have gone to the Events folder

Looking at it again i think just Folders for the Events page would be better

Thanks

Mélusine: I haven't touched the translation work for ages, but I'll try to catch up a bit.

Fencer: ... and for yearly statistics, Ian can mix results came from both archivs. Excel stuffs... this I know, monkey!

MadMonkey: Messages and events cannot be mixed because their internal structure is not mutually compatible. I would have to write a script that converts old system messages (from Message Box) to current Events but I am not sure if it is worth the effort. You can still archive tournament results in your Message Box and keep new system events in the Events page. Unless you want to do a yearly statistics, it should not be a big problem.

Anyway, I can create folders for Events, it won't be a big problem.

Fencer: I am sure i am not the only one who has created folders in the Message box, for Team results, Tournament results etc...which i then collate at the end of the month and post in the Fellowship

Would it be possible to make the folders we have created in our Message box ALSO be available in the new Events box?? I guess the only other option would be create new folders in the Events box, though the is no option there for it yet, though then i guess people would ask about moving message between the 2 (Message & Events box's).

I think all folders accessed from both would be best if possible

Gabriel likes that!

Bernice: It's not our fault that you don't take serious answers seriously. Most likely because your point of view is too selfish to see it a little globally.

Anyway, I give you an explanation. The purpose of Host Tracker is not to measure a connection speed from every single country of the world, but to find out if a temporary speed issue is caused by BrainKing itself (all nodes would show a big latency) or your local ISP/computer/router/network/anything (all but 1 or 2 nodes are performing good). Even you should be able to understand that it would be hardly possible to perform a speed or throughput benchmark from everywhere, so whether the test lists Australia or not is pointless. The global result is the only thing that counts.

rod03801: No, you must delete them manually.
But perhaps it's not a bad idea to delete events older than a month automatically.

Fencer: So, I assume this Event box is for those people who found that sort of message annoying. So, will they delete themselves after a certain amount of time? Or after the # in the box reaches a certain point?

I personally don't care, because I'm one of the weirdos who reads all those messages. (Usually because I like to click on my graph and remind my self how I'm doing, and that sort of thing). But for those who don't like the messages anyway, it seems at first glance that it's just a separate box that will get a gradually higher red number after it.
SO, I'm just curious.

Pedro Martínez: I know some people make translations for him, but I think he's the one who makes the technical modifications.

Mélusine: I'm sure he can. Or do you think that it was Fencer who translated all the contents of the main page into all the BK languages?

Pedro Martínez: I think Marfitalu has left this site because last time he was here was in June and if rabbitoid makes translations, not sure he can modify a text on a main page.

Mélusine: You should refer your request to rabbitoid or Marfitalu. :)

Fencer: I'm French and my main page is all in french except : " Events ".
So, I give you the translation : " Evénements " if you want to write it in french....
Thank you.

nodnarbo: I dont usually have speed problems and only asked if anybody else was. I have no idea how the damned "Host Tracker" works either, and have found to be able to get a serious answer on here is like flying to the moon as we are treated as I D 10 T's.
thanks anyway.

Bernice: I'm sorry I attacked you personally, I just get really sick of people complaining to Fencer about the site being slow. He's obviously not doing it intentionally, and by now he knows that people have problems and has done all he could to try figure out the problem. Reiterating the problem every week or 2 is not going to make anything better.

nodnarbo: *** Does that mean you're accusing Fencer of specifically providing bad service to Australia?

***

Grow up.....

Bernice: I know you did. Does that mean you're accusing Fencer of specifically providing bad service to Australia?

My point is, if it works in the US, UK, and Ukraine it's not the site's problem, there's something beyond their control that is slowing things down for you.

nodnarbo: hellooooooooooo...........I did say AUSTRALIA

Bernice: well, if it works in the UK, USA, and Ukraine, then it really can't be his fault, so what's your point?

Fencer: your Host Tracker told me nothing....I saw plenty of UK, USA and Ukraine etc, but absolutely nothing to say australia.....and it is still damn slow.
May I ask....Is it EVER your fault, or is it always "us"

Fencer:

aaru: Just a little inconsistency.
An automatic script that runs once a month will fix it.

Information from the left column: Tournaments (230)
Tournaments page, information from the top: open (234)
The actual number of available tournaments: 203 (4x50 + 3)

Fencer: Thanks

aaru: Right, that's a bug. Not a big one.
No, it's not possible to transfer messages, at least not now. Maybe later. The problem is that the internal structure is too different from the former one, so I would have to write a converting script first.

Fencer:


"Subject: You are the tournament winner

Turniej: null

You are the winner of this tournament."


I think that should be link with full information instead of NULL.

BTW
It is possible to transfer PM from Massege Box to Events Box?
(I have an archive with many news about the winners of my tournaments.)

Bernice: Host Tracker says it is only you.
Which you could have found our yourself if you follow the instructions listed at the top of this page.

aaru: http://brainking.info/archives/610-Separation-of-system-messages.html :D

What is it? -> EventBox (left column, between Massage box & Friends)

anybody else finding it painfully slow to load pages on here?

everywhere else loads OK.

Hrqls: thanks Matthieu

Snoopy: i think it would be polite to send a pm when a msg is removed indeed .... dont worry .. i will always send a pm before and after

(V): nope not worked up at all
just find it strange that all

always good to know if rules on a site have suddenly changed for whatever reason

Snoopy: Perhaps.. but it's hardly worth getting worked up about.

(V): maybe your right
but in this case i do not believe that to be true

Snoopy: Because sometimes it's easier and quicker to say it on the board, as has been done on a few boards where people have been carrying flames onto public boards.

after being told off on GC about a truthful post i made yesterday
why mods of boards do not send users a pm anymore about why posts are removed instead of trying to make people look stupid on said board
it looks like good manners got lost on here in last few weeks

Gabriel Almeida: hi

ty, glad to be back
