Would it be possible to extend the "Block users" feature to the discussion boards? I was a victim of "flaming" by means of a person intentionally taking a post of mine out of context and deforming it's real intent. I felt as if I was treated with a great amount of disrespect by this person which I don't want to have to experience in the future if I was to discuss on YOUR boards. This IS a possible thing to achieve as it was done on another game site with "discussion boards".
Thanks for your consideration on this issue. because as was stated on the other site "there are all kinds of weirdos on the net....some of whom will join these sites with ulterior motives!"

Would it be possible to have access to the Context menu items through a drop menu like the games in the top left corner, so we could access it from any page ?

This way we could still have cut/paste enabled on our mouse.

King Reza: id love something like that to, esp. when signing up for new tournaments

Why, players can rach a frightingly BKR of approximate 2800 at the game of MiniShogi and the first BKR's at the games of Ataxx and Assimilation weren't that high?

Pason69: On the Finished Games page on the profile, the last column is the number of torunaments won.

I'd like to see the number of a person's started games on their profile so that I won't have to wait for a long long long list to load so that I can see the totall number, in case the person is running more than 2,000 games.

When I look at the profile for a player, and check tournaments won, I get a list of all the tournament that person won. However, if I want to see what games, I have to choose "Show chess" or similar. Is there any way to get a summary like 5 chess tournaments won, 2 Backgammon, 3 Battleboat etc?!

If not, it would be great if it was possible!

Thanks for reading!

Mr. Shumway: I already asked Fencer for a Monkey one, he told me to find one, so i found lots LOL, i dont know what they have to be like so they can work on brainking though.

Amandakmg365, MadMonkey: Who might that other player be?

Hello: Fencer. Could you please try to add a smiley that is throwing a pie? OH and another player asked me to ask if you could add a monkey smiley? Thank you.

joshi tm: Hmmmmmm good question, i presume Fencer has not got round to adding them to his Stairs yet.

MadMonkey: hope you arnt going to remove the ludo stairs..lol

MadMonkey: By the way, where are the MiniShogi and Ataxx stairs?

In Stairs, there is an option for adding a Game to a list of Stairs, could we have one to remove a Game please Fencer.

nightmagic:  I couldn't agree with you more, even if I knew what the heck you are saying.

OFF TOPIC's

any thing anyone feels like sharing as players have friends here and look to them for a speak back, not OFF TOPIC some as they have friends here and may not know what board to exackly put what where, can say what's needed without being directed to 3 sometimes 4 boards to reach the one's they play with to say there say.

MadMonkey: I don't really miss a time-per-move column because most of my games are Fischer-clock.

mctrivia: Maybe when 'another' board is added to a Fellowship, it should automatically create a link on the Fellowship main DB, maybe at the top just under the Fellowship name. Then a red number could show up if a message was added to the main board or one of the linked boards.

I would like a number to show up(in a different color then red) beside the names of my fellowship to tell me if some one wrote a message in one of the other boards. I know I can add the boards to my favorite list but this doesn't work if I don't notice a new board was created.

BIG BAD WOLF: It fixed itself upon restarting the browser. Not sure why... sorry for the false alarm, but this was the only site exhibiting the issue.

grenv: Everything looks the same for me for the fonts. If it is smaller or larger, try either holding down CTRL key on keyboard while you move your mouse wheel - or go to VIEW in the browser, and change the text/font size.

Did you do something to the fonts? If so can you undo it?

MadMonkey: Two columns. One with opponent's time left and the other with your time left when opponent moves. This would be very handy for Fischer clock timed games.

Lawless: Sounds like another column that shows 'Game Time per move' would be in order to me, then you could sort by that as well. Not a bad idea at all.

Currently, the list of games where it's not my turn, indicates how much time the opponent has to make his move.
I would, however, prefer if it indicated how much time I would have if the opponent would make his move now.

The reason behind my proposal is that when I log out, I would like to know when do I have to log in again in order not to timeout. In games where it's my turn, it's easy to see the minimal time left. However in games where it's the opponent's turn, there is not much use in knowing that the opponent has 10 days left if I have only 10 hours left and the opponent might make his move the moment after I have logged out. The only way to be on the safe side is by clicking through all the games where it's not my turn and that is unreasonably inconvenient.

How about option of selecting favourite games or known invitations... I would like to have # of invitations and #of invitations in games that interests me

In the old days the white used to start in every game.
Then, to make things right, the rules were adjusted to some of the games, and black or red or whatever starts some of the games now.
When you start a new game, on the New Game page and you choose the color, it clearly states which color goes first, so you can choose.
But on the Waiting Games list, no such info is present. So instead of you'll play as black / white, can there be an aditional signal that shows if I'll start the game or not? It's hard to remember the settings in 90+ games.

mangue: you'd better hide

Is Autopass considered by Fencer yet?
Passing or waiting for opponent to force-pass is a bit boring, imho

M132T003C:Send Fencer a pm and he'll change it for you.

I suggest that inactive accounts be deleted after, say, a year of not being used. I understand if this is impossible for certain reasons though. I'm suggesting this because some people may want a username that exists on an inactive account, for example I'd like to change my username to MTC to be consistant with the username I have on most other websites, but that name is attached to this user, who has been inactive since 2003.

MadMonkey: yah i asked for this a while back also. The feature is not the easiest to find. Maybe fencer could make it a little easier to find say have it always visible with the note box and also have it in the settings page.

pauloaguia: I see it now, we dont see the option until we have made a note.

MadMonkey: Then type one and see what happens ;)

pauloaguia: All i have above my note box is:

Note (visible for you only):

MadMonkey: I've just rechecked. On the top of your Notes box, tehre's an option to move it to the top or to the bottom of the board. Just click it.
It's been like that for ages now :)

MadMonkey: Mine does. Maybe it's an option somewhere?

I think this has been asked before, and maybe still on your list Fencer.
Please could we have the Note box in games show up at the top of the page IF a note has been made, or at least an option in Settings to move it there like the other options we have.
It comes in handy when you play alot of games and may lose track of your train of thought. Sometimes i get back to a game i end up making a totaly different move to the one i was thinking about

I would like to have ataxx and MiniShogi stairs. Thanks.

skipinnz: Especially since those people will be used by other players to step up one level easilly.

Is it possible to have inactive people disappear off of the stairs, It is going against the idea of stairs if the people are not there to move IMHO.

pedrored: I would like a "I have no time any more" button. It should remove me from every team I have signed up with, every tornament, pond, and ladder that I have signed up for but is not currently running. Would be good for when you sign up for a whole bunch of tournaments and all of a sudden find yourself with 1000 games and 63 tornaments still on there way.

rod03801: >everytime you add something Fencer, we want something extra!

it's a human's habit!!! LOL


I agree with your idea about "Sign up for all checked games"

rod03801: I like that idea

For me, it is rare I would want to sign up for ALL the games in a tournament. But there are times I do want to sign up for a few of them.. How about a check box next to each game listed in the tournament, with a box at the bottom also saying, "Sign up for all checked games"?

LOL.. everytime you add something Fencer, we want something extra!

good idea!
what do you think to create another button to remove from every tournaments of the same group?

I mean a button to annul the effects of the "sign up" button

Binabik: I have to agree, when you play alot of Assimilation & Lines of Action, it can alter the way you see the games. One needs changing.

Change Description in fellowship edit box - any chance on getting these input boxes to be the same as the discussion board boxes - where we can "Change message area size" to see more and type things in?

When one offers a draw, the message to the opponent comes a fair way BELOW the game board; could it not come above, please.
I have often had opponents not accepting the draw offer, clearly because they had not seen the message.
