Hrqls:You ever wonder if Fencer does that on purpose sometimes just to make us appreciate him?

pauloaguia: mine seem to be fixed as well ..

(but it was funny to see that when i had 2 games with one opponent one of the games always ended up ok .. while the other ended up with a negative time ;))

rabbitoid: Anyway seems to be fixed. My negative times have been coming back to normal on all the games I moved today... The only ones remaining are the ones that still haven't moved today and those that should have normally timed out.

Walter Montego: I bet on a date1 - date2 where date1 is sometimes uninitialized. Takers, anyone?

Fencer: I shall be patient then and await developements. It's such a strange thing to have happen. I can only imagine the grief it's caused and the difficulty in finding out what's causing it. It might something as simple as a colon where a semi-colon should be. : ;

I assume the back ups are ready. If it's going to take a real testing out before you're ready, let me and others know. I'll not make any moves for the day of the test and this will cause less problems for the games I have going if the backups have to be used. Especially darkness type games.

Walter Montego: I cannot risk and start the time until I am absolutely sure everything is fixed. This is the worst kind of a problem and it takes some time.

I'm wondering how the fix for the bug with the negative days in coming along. I'm glad it doen't time out the game being negative, but it also means that games that should legitimately time out are getting to slide by. Some of my games will say -12919 days left on them. When I or my opponent moves the time left counter will sometimes go to the proper amount like 2 days, 23 hours and other times will read the -12919 days left.

Nothingness: Ponds are not counted for the number of started games.

i dont have any room left for games. i was in pnonds that shouldve ended by nwo and now i cant fit into the ponds i had signed up for. will we be able to enter mroe games than our memberships allow?

Marfitalu: I think I saw something at features requests, want to try that one?

Marfitalu: what is the board?

Marfitalu: Oh I understand that. Just I think a privacy option is a differnt kind of option, why should pay members be able to see non-pay membbers, if non-pay members can't see pay members? Or do you think that's ok? I really like this site and tell friends about it, but if this is how privacy stuff is handled, I don't know...

<I don't understand why it isn't given to everyone on the gamesite????

>that would make it even, don't you think?

if people wanted to hide what they was doing they could easily do it without the cloak thing , all you need to do is open more than one web browser and it will only count the last click ,not the other pages you are looking at ,
people should not feel pressured to take there cloak off by the few that are moaning . wether they like the cloak or not its upto the individual .

I agree with Walter, the new cloak thing is a bad idea because it only allows a chosen few their privacy and pawns have no choice whatssoever. Also, it makes the cloaked person look like they're trying to hide something.

will it get sent back to normal? or will a pond that say is on a 1 day time limit continue on with its current time limit o fsay 5 days. or will you immediately set it back to normal?

Anyway, I'll let the time suspended, at least for a day or two. Because the negative time left values can happen again.

Fencer: I got ponds!!!!! THANKS

Fencer: Liquid

I don't want to be a false prophet ... but if nothing goes wrong, the recent site problems have been fixed.

JamesHird: thank you
any others that are reputable?

wayney: I like xe.com
Univeral Currency Convertor

what is the best currency conversion site in peoples opinion. most trusted?

Fencer: Very much looking forward to that; you have a crowd of junkies out in the World!

tonyh: When everything is fixed. Later today, hopefully.

Please, when may we have our Ponds back?

Tuesday: I guess you figured it out..no pay pal is another option. I never used MB..pay pal was just real easy for me.

Tuesday: I sent money to Eriisa through pay pal once. She got the money right away!
And you betcha there is nothing like a Texas Party- especially when it's such great Texas Women!! Yeehaw!!!!!

Tuesday: Oh and I would have jumped at that- I would have loved an excuse to head up to the Dallas area and take Eriisa out to lunch!!!
Texas Toest is up that way too- we could have had a party!!!!

He's been banned long enough for his offense, hasn't he?

Tuesday: LOL, I'll check the mailbox again in the morning.

You guys bring up a good point. I kinda liked the cloak mode, because people would question where I was going or who I was talking to, and I didn't feel it was their business. But if people are offended by it or don't like it because they can't see if I'm moving my games with them, then I can understand that. I'll remove mine.

Walter Montego: I agree with you Walter..i dont care what "monkey business" people have but its nice to know if someone is "shooting back" moves in a game with me, especially if i am ready to log off :)

Pedro Martínez: You know, that's not a bad idea. The thing is, I really don't care if I know what others are doing. I wish this cloak mode option would have never came into being in the first place. I do like the suggested feature of someone that's using the cloak mode being unable to see what us uncloaked people are doing. I would also like to be able to shut off where people are located on the discussion boards. I like being able to see where someone is while I'm viewing a game I have with them, but I'd just a soon not see it while viewing the discussion boards and it slows the loading of my pages too.
My feature request will be to get rid of this cloak mode.

tazman7474:

Pedro Martínez: That's just childish.

I would like to let everybody know that I am putting everyone who uses the cloak mode on my enemies list. If you don't want me to see what you're doing, you won't see me at all.

Dolittle: as long as it isn't just my imagination! lol

tazman7474: I am having the same problems.
It started last night.

is anyone having problems with the battleboats plus? i try to select a shot and the board disappears. i get a message to choose another piece, when i click on it the board comes back. but without the shot i picked before!

Phew, I thought I had been in a coma, or something. :)

BuilderQ: Nice work around! I like it :)

BIG BAD WOLF: When the problems are fixed, I'll do a global time correction. Hopefully.

rabbitoid: From time to time, database servers do what they want, not what I want :-) Moreover, one network card is probably damaged.

is 1 January 1970, which is traditionally day 0 on all unix based systems. Fencer! you're caught! you're not using windows. good boy...

When the ponds are "turned back on", may I request that 24/48/72 ... hours are added to each pond rather then just letting ALL the ponds go to the next round at the same exact time.

This will help in a couple ways.

1) The server will not have 400+ ponds going to the next round at the same time.

2) Someone who has a lot of ponds will not have the same time-out time on almost all their ponds.
