oooh - dig the new line in the "game over" messages for match games: "The game is a part of a multi game match which is not finished."

i like it! thanks, Filip!

plaintiger:

If you don't see something in red to confirm when you try to send something, nothing has been sent.

plaintiger: Is this in anyway related to the bug of having your reply to accepting a game invitation not appear in the message or show to the person you wrote it for?
Because of this bug, I have stopped writing a reply when I accept a game and wait until my second move or after my opponent's message stays on the page.

Fencer, it'd be nice if all the messages pertaining to a game would appear.

Walter Montego: i second that - though as far as i can tell, the messages do show up for the person you wrote them for - at least sometimes - because i'll say something when accepting a game, then go to the game to make my first move and find a message from my opponent saying, for example, "ain't that the truth?"...to which i, of course, have to reply with, "um...ain't what the truth?" and by the time my opponent makes their next move, they don't remember either...

it is really annoying. i agree that all messages pertaining to a game, from the sending of the invitation on, should appear in the chat history. thanks...

plaintiger: To expand upon that suggestion, when I am playing a multiple game match, it can be disconcerting to have the message box cleared after each game. I would like to see the message box contain all the messages sent during the match, not just the current game.

alanback: Good idea. Or at the least carry over the last couple of messages so that the conversational context can be picked up again.

I'm wondering, how much is 28 Euro's in US Dollars today? I'm thinking of becoming a Rook again after the short time of being a Knight ( way to much thinking of how many open game slots that I have)

MagicDragon: There is a link "How much is it in my currency?" on the Paid Membership page.

Fencer: DUH on my part again! LOL I knew I seen it somewhere after I posted my last post Again Thank You!

MagicDragon: About $33.14 according to the Yahoo calculator.

I have noticed that Yahoo, XE.com, and Paypal all have slightly different conversion rates.

Can Dominoes be added to this site since Gold Token has it now?

<Geri39> Who is Gold Token?
Why do you like Dominoes?
You can post this kind of requests on the feature requests board:)

Geri39: Better to post a request here;

http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=3 :o)

Mirjam: Gold Token.com

I use paypal & whichever amount it is here for currency is the same amount that is paid thru paypal. Have to wait at least 3 to 4 business days for the transfer of funds to take place

I do have a question tho...I became a Knight starting on Sept 15th & then becoming a Rook next week, would I get a refund from the original Knight payment minus almost 1 1/2 months for being a Knight? Sorry if it is a little confusing. I was wondering about that

MagicDragon: You have a few options, you can either:

pay as a rook, and the remaining knight days will be transfered to your rook membership (so you'll have over 6 months rook membership)

Stay as a knight until it runs out then the rook will begin or

ask Fencer how much it would be to upgrade to rook and he'll give you an exact figure to pay.

harley: Thank You for the options! I don't want to make Fencer work harder than he should..he definitely deserves a break! I can become a Rook & have at least 9 months added on that is left of the Knight membership

Geri39: Yes and it is a good game

alanback: you mane maybe a button for"message history"?

Geri39: maybe we should take a vote,see how many like it?dominoes isnt a very challenging game strategically,I can think of ones more interesting,I am sure fencer can judging by his past choices.

besides,BK is known for unique games,we would want to be a copy-cat

question eriisa have you researched this further?what did you find?

nobleheart: That would be an improvement, but right now all the messages in a game are displayed at the bottom of the page. I would like to see message retained throughout a multiple game match.

in the who is on line board, under action, some players action is null. When did that one start and what does it mean?

Vikings: FYI: I just checked and I'm not seeing "null" anywhere if that helps at all?!...

Vikings: I think it's an action that haven't been given a name yet.

frolind: I believe it is during the period of time between Fencer approving the membership and the time the person comes back on to use it.

ScarletRose: no,
its their action, what game or board they are on

Vikings: oh?

I have seen that on people who have signed up to the site, but not yet done anything.

its been known in the past for randon things to come up as null name of tournaments ect ,usually after fencer has been in the database i think lol

Everything a newcomer does on this site between his/her registration and Fencer's aprroval appears as "null".

Pedro Martínez: No, between my approval and his/her first login.

with the hurricane hitting us late tonight into tomorrow, we probably will lose power, so how does the auto vacation work, should i take vacation days and if i don't take enough will that kick in for a few days or just one day, and should i not take vacation days and just rely on auto vacation.
now that i wrote all this i'm wondering if it explains it good under vacations, just in case, i'll leave this, and g/l to all of us in it's path.

ellieoop: Make sure your auto vacation is on [check the Settings / Calendar page], then all your games using the vacation are safe until you run out of vacation days. Beware, this doesn't apply on games with a green or red dot which means "no vacation used".

just as the requestor should receive notice if when their request to join a fellowship is denied, so the invitor should receive notice if their invitation to join a fellowship, play a game, or accept a draw is declined. if the invitor is not notified in these cases, it winds up appearing that their invitation has simply been ignored, which can cause tensions between people - because it can look like rudeness on the part of the person declining the invitation. thanks...

plaintiger: That's an interesting one. I've had piles of fellowship invitations that I didn't want and that said nothing in the message to me, leading me to wonder why I've been invited. I think those messages are somewhat rude in their lack. Some I delete immediately with no response (they hardly deserve it, after all). Others are still pending, even from months ago, just in case I ever decide to join the fellowship. It saves me having to apply. So I am ignoring those ones, but it's because of potential usefulness rather than rudeness. Perhaps there should be a third option: "Take a raincheck"?

playBunny: "Take a raincheck"? that is a great idea!

ScarletRose: i agree. great idea. :)

is there a FAQ i'm not seeing for how to add a photo to one's profile? if there's information posted in some regular place on how to add photos to profiles and fellowships, it needs to be more obvious, because i've done it several times and every time i do it i have to ask people what the required image sizes are and, as i need to know now, where to send the images once they're resized.

this information should be available in one easily- and logically-found location, shouldn't it?

is it?

thanks...

plaintiger: FAQ: How can I add an icon next to my user name?

kithara: ahhhhhhhh. thank you. i searched for the words "profile" and "photo" and "picture". i didn't look for "icon"...i don't think that's the best term for such images. "picture" would be better (since not all of them are photos).

plaintiger: "picture" would be better (since not all of them are photos).
thats why they are called icons LOLOL....take DANDANDAN for instance....monkey face (is a pic) with pink lips added is an icon...a straight pic is a pic and anything else in art ROFL....not artful, just art LOLOL....sorry Dan,Art,whatever!

ignore me im having a "light moment"

***oops***
I think I was a "TAD" slow there'
TAD = TheArtfulDodger...oh my gawd!!!

"image" covers it all

nobleheart: quite so. i should have thought of that, being a digital photographer. a lot of people call digital captures "images" instead of "photographs," and the activity "digital imaging" or "digital capture" instead of "photography." don't know why...Webster's dictionary defines photography as, "the art or process of producing images on a sensitized surface (as a film) by the action of radiant energy and especially light," and that applies to digital...

but i digress.

let's all bow are head to give think to a Woman who change history Mrs.Rosa L Parks may she now and for ever rest in the arms of god and for ever be at peace..Yhank you Mrs.Rosa for changing the way people come togather and live in today world.

May God aways smile on you!.

<NightHawk> Please drop your religious feelings on the thoughts and prayers board. I thinks it's offensive to confront everyone with them on the general brainking board.

It is rather off topic, NightHawk.

Fwiffo: That's absurd. Discard your intolerance and read NightHawk's posting for its meaning; acknowledge the reverence of human liberty.
