reza: 14760 registred users and Fencer complains because some havent changed their password. If he is so busy he can use his valuable time to better things than posting arrogant messages...thats my point.

Andersp: True! But sometimes they (we) really are!

Fencer: wonder how long i can keep my job if i start calling the customers "ignorant"

It's interesting how many users had ignored the request to change their password which was posted to Server News two months ago. Now they are sending me "HELP ME!" e-mails and don't understand why their old passwords don't work anymore.
Isn't it typical? Until nothing goes wrong, they don't bother to read any instructions.

Bernice, it helps to turn the t-shirt inside out when washing too, then its not rubbing against the drum and other clothes in the wash.

Bernice: Have you used a detergent which is suited for painted things? Like, uh uh uh, Ariel Color or something like that.

BerniceC: I'm in Southern California. Which has to be one of the printed T-shirt capitols of the world. There's lots of different brands of non-printed T-shirts to choose from too. IMported from everywhere. The port of Los Angeles and the port of Long Beach are some of the busiest in the world. No telling how many sweat shops ship their stuff through here, plus there's plenty of domestic manufacturers around here too.

BerniceC: Don't confuse the quality of your T-shirt with the quality of the screen printing and inks used for it. A lot of screen printed things don't give the proper care for washing them. Also, if there's puff ink on it, it has to be heated after made to set it. These sparkels you mention might also have had to have been glued on. Then there's you soap or detergent and if you add other things to the wash and other clothes too. IS the shirt in good shape, but the printing getting bad? Or are both getting bad? 12 washes ain't too many, but you made it sound as if you'd worn it a hundred times.

Walter Montego: the quality of the shirt isn't a problem...the original print is as good as it was....It is the fancy sparkle overlay that is peeling away....why use it to detract from my otherwise perfect t-shirt:)

Walter Montego: UMMMMMMM?????? where do you live:)

in Australia....good quality lasts past a dozen washes or so...

BerniceC: Seems to me all clothes wear out over time. Better made ones last longer, but they all wear out from use eventually. If you wear that T-shirt as much as you say, then it sounds like you've had some good use out of it. Working out in clothes not made for that use will wear them out real fast. Plus you have to launder them more times. I'm sure the repeated washings, soap, and detergent have taken their toll on your T-shirt.

Walter Montego: hehehe great suggestion to support BK....I spend enough money promoting BK with out buying the bloody shares ROFLMBO....
I worry how to send money to Fencer to pay for my membership and spend literally hundreds in prizes for his members LOLOL....I would like a T-shirt that dont break down :)

OOPS....:( that sounds a bit harsh and I didn't mean it to :(

BerniceC: Buy another one and wear them both?

I was so very lucky to get/aquire a BK shirt sponsored By Bwildman a long time ago :)
I love the shirt and wear it everywhere, to the Gym, walking on our strand and to casual social functions that do not require formal gear....

sad thing is...I have found that the "sparkly" over print is coming off slowly with every wash :(...I do not wash in hot water, so it isnt that...it just seems to peel...is there a way to prevent this???... I LOVE MY SHIRT:(

ok thank you very much!!

GeGe: Those are former members with expired membership. Although they are listed in the fellowships, they cannot do anything there.

Hello i was just wondering in some of the fellowships there are brain pawns?? Why won't it let me be in a fellow ship?

Jason: ..if you click on a flag beside a nic you get to the country's page ;)

Eriisa: Would you go back in my history and give my Maths teacher a good slap?
Thanks.

Filip, I went back in my history and found the link.

Its http://brainking.com/game/Board?bgrp=10

Hope this helps.

If we make the effort to be more aware of the social/polictical differences in many countries.we would have many more flags.

Bry: If you want to go that way, I'm sure that the majority of the votes would fall on the star spangled banner

Pedro Martínez: but "english" means St George and the flag (being English of course). The union jack represents England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (i think?).

It's weird that when football is concerned, England (the english) are represented by the red cross, but generally the language is represented by the union jack? Does anyone know exactly why?

Bry: It's common in the Czech Republic that English versions of Czech sites are represented by the Union Jack.

bumble: (off topic maybe....) but how many others think the Union Jack for "english language" should be replaced by the red cross?

pauloaguia: it only takes about 5 nanoseconds to figure out the change,people will get it.hey maybe I'll suggest a french forum..I'd like that.

nobleheart: I'd say they're probably getting stuck with the portuguese foruns... I mean, that's what I (correctly) see when I change the language to portuguese.

BIG BAD WOLF: thank you mr.wolfy for the tip.

BIG BAD WOLF: I removed mine.

This discussion is getting way off topic. This discussion should be moved to another board - like General Chat or Members only?

Dánsko = Denmark for us Americans.

could we get a breakdown of paying members for the usa v uk members ,without having to go through all the member list .. just purely for interest

Jason: go to the player list and there's a drop-down box for countries.

Go to the players list, and the sort/list is by country option is there

http://brainking.com/en/PlayerList?a=ap

ok wheres the flags page ?

Then take into account the size of the UK compared to the size of America...!

That's just the players with the Union Flag, Clay. Now add the English, the Scots, the Welsh and the Northern Irish.

Bry: Nice bit of jingoism there - click the Union Jack and everything's okay. (strains of Rule Britannia wafts around brainking)

Yeah ...get to work slacker ;o)

It should show all languages boards when nothing is set. I'll have a look at the code.

BIG BAD WOLF: it happened to me. I just clicked the Union Jack and everything appeared as normal and has been since.

I'm guessing for some reason, when the recent switch to the different languages, some users did not have a "prefered" language set or something - so no discussion boards would show up in the list. Once they change it, and change it back to what they want - the problem is fixed.

It might be better to fix it when I'm able to reproduce this situation.

I have seen that behavior myself. Perhaps this should be a "server news" announcement if others are equally as puzzled.

Thanks, that worked.

Summertop (or anyone else)

If you go to the "Discussion boards" link and no boards show up, do this to fix:

1) On the Discussion Boards page, change the language to something different.

2) After that, you can change it back to what you had originally.

3) The boards should then show up! (A small bug I've seen for a few people now.)

He was banned at one time for his behavior. Is it starting again? The big question then is...Why is he now a mod of a board?

Speaking of boards, I tried to go check to verify that he was indeed a mod. I think they are broken. If you don't have it added to your Favourites, you can't get to it. Can someone else check to see if it works?

nobleheart: I think most all of us must have him on hide! I do and he's the only one I have had to do that too as well.

nobleheart: I would imagine that [edited] thinks that you could be "Bernice" who was at one time aka LongJohn, using my name to stir trouble....

EdTrice: thanks,but I wont bother,unless he cant show some self-control.what gets me is that I have never dealt with/talked to him before.
If I were to lash out at a stranger unprovoked,I'll be afraid they would think I needed help.anyway,I hope ignoring this guy will be the best way to deal with it for now.
