DamnCat: No, nothing is wrong. Your fault is that you still look for the source at the same place. Try to extend your focus.

Hrqls: I am aware that they changed and all of that and also that there is a delay from when you get them until they are registered. But, I have been here on and off since this morning and I have been clicking around like mad so there is no way I could have missed them. I am trying another browser to see if that is the problem though.

DamnCat: maybe they changed ? fencer posted a note that the secret action can change over time

also, the secret action points might be counted with a delay, so the last action which you did when the secret points are counted doest have to be the secret action itself .. the secret action might be done further in the past

i got some secret action points on the 1st of september, but i have no clue what i did to gain them :)

DamnCat: FENCERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

DamnCat: you are lucky man, i have nothing

WatfordFC: Very unfair... I got them very easily yesterday but today nothing despite all the work I have put in :(

DamnCat: Yes a few of us are becoming abit despondent lol I have been stuck on 439 for most of the day, i know where they are, but they are just not registering lol

Bwild: It is not a level playing field, that is what games should be about, I see more frustrations over these secret points then any thing, Hence I would like everone to have the chance to test there computers and browsers

There must be something wrong with this site, I have not collected any secret points today despite clicking all over the site (and I mean that literally!). I got them yesterday but today nothing. And I am using the same computer and the same web browser. What is wrong??? Does anybody know?

Hrqls: good job. I see my work is done here. Thanks

Marfitalu: it would be very useful indeed, on other sites where i have been/am a mod i can move posts indeed (and have to choice to leave a shadow or not (ezboards))

it has been suggested on the feature requests several times, i hope its on fencers 'todo' list and hope it fits in the current boards system/structure

i will delete the other related posts as they are now lose ends :)

SafariGal: Just deleted the post. Now to re-post it in the fellowship board...

WellyWales: it would be of help to those of us who dont know what to look for!.

Bwild: thanks, although you didnt have to notify me on here ;)
thanks though :)

I placed my post in the proper place....
I would hope others will follow suit.

WellyWales: good idea, i have the same problem, I have no chance at home

Filip, could you put a secret points test on here, that we all know about to see if we can all pick them up, I seem to pick them up on one computer but not on another.

King Reza: I suggested along time ago, may still be on Fencers notepad somewhere, but i will do it again.

MadMonkey:Brilliant idea. Why don't you post it on the Feature Request page?

WellyWales: I noticed that to Welly.
I still dont see the point of it myself. Be better to have a list of things like on Messengers like Busy, Away, BRB, Out to lunch etc.... At least then we may know if someone is coming back soon or whatever.

WellyWales: properly cause ppl dont want to see which part of the site they looking at trying to find secret points

WellyWales: you could always go to the other side and cloak yourself and see ;)

Must have something, a lot have gone over to cloak since it started

WellyWales: whats cloak got to do with it ?

It would be nice to have a level playing field,

WellyWales: and whys that Welly..lol

People in cloak mode should not get Secret Points

Has anyone else noticed, that if you scroll through 'Game Notation' in any version of Battleboats using the arrows at the top << <> >>, once you get upto where it should be your go it wont let you, even though the page says its your go LOL
I have tried a few other games and its fine, only the Boats.

beach: I do that all the time

beach: several times in last year. took a day to figure out what happened and to relize i clicked a button fast and missed it,lol. glad your back. the fustration for me was driving me crazy to figure it out but to do it again like i did months later was really crazy :)

crosseyed:ment nothing really was just a statement of how i use it.sorry. I;M about the simple life. Which was what you miss understood in my message. sure i like it, it's new and helps others. as a comment i thought it was simple to understand but i guess not.sorry. enjoy!i was not saying anything to attack you in any way. was just commenting on how i used it.

I'm such an idiot I thought I did that all ready

beach: click on the english flag ;)

beach: lol just click on the English flag

I have accidently changed the language on my screen, now of course, I cannot figure out how to get it back to english

BIG BAD WOLF: nope ...tested it out over a few days and my account couldnt get them but my son could get them seconds after (on the same pc or even a differnt one )

And how about transfering brains like membership, after winning them in action points contest? Will it be possible or not. I would like to have it but probably there would be too much players abusing this system with second accounts fitting top50 to get those points, so probably there won't be possibility to transfer them. (btw I won 100 brains!) : )

Jason: The secret points changed location a few times last month - could it be possible you had an "old" location where it already changed when you tried?

Jason: No, you can.

Fencer: I knew where they was last month (as i have already told you )but i couldnt get them with my account ,i tried with more than one pc aswell even my sons pc , then my son would try after me in the exact same place i tried and he would get them ok ....which shows i knew where it was and that my id wont work with the secret points for some reason .

so i mightt as well not even waste my time anymore trying ;( , but its unfair that i cant join in the fun of the chase .

Jason: It means you didn't find them yet. The algorhithm is more complicated this month.

Fencer: I bet i still cant get the secret point with my account though ;(

Fencer: thanks for that

imsoaddicted: No, now you can find them with any browser.

am i right in thinking you still cant find secret points if you use firefox or IE7

whopper: Ah! Thank you. And that certainly fits what I've seen.

Walter Montego: The answer is in the column name.
The little square thing is there if the person is online. Why some people have it for one game but not another, is because their online status changed.

While I was checking the rankings of the Dark Chess ratings list I noticed a little square thing after some player's handles. When I hover the cursor over it, it will let my click it and send me to the game invitation for that player. What I don't understand is why some people have this after their handle and most people don't. Or if it looks the same for a different person viewing the same page. Or why some people have it for one game, but don't have it for a different game. I looked around the site for an answer, but I wasn't able to find out what the deal is. Is this something I can turn off or on? Does it involve the Friend's list? Where can I read about it on the information or FAQ page as I didn't find it in either place.

By the way, the "Help" page is a real nice layout. It's too bad there's no information there! Least ways on the links I clicked on I got most blank pages and no help.

Question for whomever might know - I've got a couple "open tournaments" on my tournament page in my profile that are long over and done with but still listed as open - can I get rid of them somehow since they didn't go on their own? Gracias

SafariGal: The brains were given as a prize.
