Can someone please tell me how the 'link' button works.. right hand side of msg box. What does it do ? Having clicked on it, I'm not sure if I'm replying in a different way or what ?? :-D

Rose: You can disable the function (like Walter mentioned)

You can also open a link in a new window other ways depending on what browser you are using. For example, in Firefox, you can hold down SHIFT and click on a link to open it in a new windows. In IE, I believe you hold down CTRL and click on a link to open it in a new window.

Rose: Isn't that a browser setting?

Rose: I said how to do it in the previous link.

daily I will click a link in here to open a new window and now I cant do that anymore. Anyway I can get that default back?

BIG BAD WOLF: I use AOL's browswer. I've already given up on using those firewalls and things like Proxomotron with it.

People have seen me using the computer with a bunch of windows and wonder how I keep track. I have no problem and it's easier than reloading every page. I just need to be able to access them quickly and not hit the "close window" buttons on accident. Whatever change was made today on the pages is something I didn't like and didn't see any utility for. What exactly does it do? Is there a question and answer page for the changes? Does the Java page for this site have some instructions on it or a question and answer page?

After the change I went to the change link on the new right click. It sent me to the Java page where I found I could disable it. I also checked the drop down games box. I haven't noticed any change. What does that do?

Walter Montego: Yea, I already had to stop for a second because I needed to open something in a new window (not a new tab which my middle mouse/wheel button does), but then I remembered in Firefox, if you hold down SHIFT and click, it will open in a new window. (CTRL and click will open in new tab). In Internet Explore, I think CTRL opens something in a new window.

BIG BAD WOLF: I disable this new "feature". I like to be able to open links in new windows and all the other things that I had before the change.

BIG BAD WOLF: And as soon as I type that, I try it again and it is working now. Strange.

But cool - now with the URL of Board?bgrp=0, I can easly browse all discussion boards (already expanded)

Pedro Martínez: Yea, I did that. Checked out the site with Internet Explorer and that feature worked.

Have the site open in the newest Firefox, and nothing - it's like my right button does not work on BrainKing.

Using the right button on other open tabs gives me the normal (Back, Reload, save...) But for some reason just brings up nothing while I'm using firefox.

Pedro Martínez: you can also find it in settings on the JavaScript tab

BIG BAD WOLF: You have to click the '+', tick the 'show context menu' and click 'save and finish'.

BIG BAD WOLF: Oh, nevermind - I know why it is not working - in Firefox I have my mouse buttons set to do different things. (Middle to open in new window.)

May go reset the right button to do this - could help me to have a quick way to view all discussion boards, already expanded.

Groucho: Hum - not working for me. I may need to logout and log back in for it to take effect. (will go and try)

Crissie: you're right. :) You can add things too. Like a favorite fs or db ;)

Groucho: shows up clicking in text box too

BIG BAD WOLF: try right clicking on any part of the screen (but not in a text box)

Pedro Martínez: Show context menu (activated by a right-click)

Right click where?

All: For those who haven't noticed it yet: Check out the context menu - look for the small + just below the Statistics link.

pauloaguia: Well I believe that is what it is suppose to do, but it is quite possible Fencer has not had a chance to program that part of it yet.

BIG BAD WOLF: That doesn't happen. At least not now

pauloaguia: Because a pawn is only allowed to be in 1 stair at a time, so if someones membership drops, they may be removed from some stairs to get them to the 1 stair limit.

BIG BAD WOLF: Fencer: Thanks...I just wondered since that happened to me.

BIG BAD WOLF: What has baing a rook got to do with that? Retirement is for everyone, isn't it?

Pbarb2: BBW is right.

Pbarb2: I'm almost positive that if you win it will still count and you will move up a step (or down a step if you lose) - just that it will not be shown to everyone else since you are on retirement.

Plus again almost positive that you can be on retirement forever (well as long as you stay a rook)

Fencer: I put myself on retirement in one of your stairs. I thought I was finished with my games. It didn't say I had another to play. Here comes this 2nd game with this guy. If I win this game will I get credit for it even though I am on retirement? I won the 1st one out of the 2 we are to play.
Another question.. How long can we be on retirement? I know I can't start back for 7 days. I just didn't want to start anymore before going on vacation. Thank you
BARB

lynchpfc: Settings / Chess.

Brown checkers on black points? Isn't this a fundamental no-no? How do I change my display colors?

Rose: control freak. :0) okay, i'll do that. :0)

ΜīήďSрŷ: It might very well be but this isn't the board to discuss it on. By all means continue the conversation on General Chat. I think many people would be interested!

Rose: fine. just thought it would
be interesting for you guys.
later!

MindSpy

Pedro Martínez: don't know what you're talking about, but you're right. :0)

ΜīήďSрŷ: Please take the topic to another board. This is for brain king features etc.
Thank you!

alanback: wrong.

Hrqls: wrong.

Walter Montego: wrong.

alanback: Although the whole conversation is off-topic, this comment deserves .

ΜīήďSрŷ: The most beautiful person in the world is yourself. When you realize that, you will realize that everyone is beautiful.

ΜīήďSрŷ: beauty comes from the inside ;)


(i somewhere read that in the last amount of years more than half of the miss universe competition was won by someone from india .. if that means anything :))

is there anyone here that can tell me who are the most beautiful people in the world are.
this seems like the smarter board. :0)

Christine: There is a 'missing people' discussion board where you may get more info..

Rose: But even then, I don't think he played. I think he just dropped in after being gone for a couple of months.

whatdidyousay: Not since Nov '05

Christine: He left BK for a while, but he has dropped back in from time to time.

Christine: He was only made of clay . . .

Does anybody know what happened to ClayNashvilleTN?

Groucho: well myn msntv2 has javascript. the older machines have zilch.it works for me mook

Funny, I didn't see the icons when folks started talking about them, but I see them now.

Fencer: Ok, Some things don't. We get most of it which is good. Thank you
