when you send money thru paypal for a memberhip how long does it take til your new membership is activated?

Hello Fencer,
I mean the bug that it is impossible to play with 2 players on the same e-mail address and use the automatic login

Hey, no prices will be changed! $18 and $28 memberships will stay the same. Don't worry about that :-)

again?...DOH!!!!!......well my winters are always warm at least....haha

sorry eddie, you are only gettin a bag of coal this year haha

im a member brain rook... i think its worth it due to this site is this good now and its only begginin..a few minor things i requested where done..button add on and problem with game which got fixed the next day...all of which other sites dont always fix or notice right away...took iyt almost a week once to renew my membership there its gonna expire soon and i wont reup over there...this site seems to be on top of everything...i was thinkin that a player named molly here could buy me that 1,000 dollar membership...what ya think molly?...but seriously..it takes time for all the programmin that is required in these sites...once this site has had more time and a few more members this could be become the best,,,and ya think if i keep talkin up this site i could get a free 1,000 dollar membership? hee hee...

I was thinking of joining till I saw that,it may be a trend and the other prices may go up accordingly.For that kind of money,I shouldn't have to log on,just pick my games and let someone else move for me..LOL

that new membership price whatare they buyin the whole brainking website? haha wow...ill stick with my 28 bucks a year...whew.,...

It is in rapid development! Since both Brain Rooks requested it recently [because they are the only ones who will be able to create teams], it's on my TODO list at the top.

Fencer, whats your plans with the teams option on the main page? For anyone interested in joining a future line4 team, take a look on the line4 board.

dot13: Yes, I'll do something like that to make it compatible with NTL.
sandie: Do you click on the button of 1) or 2) section on Define Opponent page? If you click on Search button and write nothing or something that cannot be found, it will go back to this page. I'll add some better description.

thanks for your help but can't get passed the define character page just keeps gong back to that page when i click continue

Thank you Fencer for deleting this for me. I think it may be the format
that NTL doesn't like as I
know of a few players who also can not play this particular game. Could it perhaps be made smaller for NTL players to see if this would make a difference?
Thanks Fencer.

Uil: What bug remains?
dot13: Okay.

Please could you delete the above game as I cannot
access it. Thanks Fencer.

my wife changed her e-mail in her business e-mail, now it is working. But i think the bug remains

Once u have chosen your prefered game, u should see the following 3 pages (In order) ~ Define your opponent ~ Select game parameters ~ New game successfully created. Which is the last page that you see & are u receiving an error message after this.?

no don't get a new page telling me the game has been placed in the waiting room,am i doing something wrong

Oops, my fault. I will add better description and FAQ entry for this subject. Basically, the Waiting Games page contains only the invitations you can accept. That's why there are no invitations you have created.

yes, i log out before. Maybe it is the permanent internet connection we have

I found that out the hard way.. i added games and wondered why they didnt show up in the waiting room.. then I found them at the bottom of my game sheet screen

When u have chosen your game options & clicked send does a new page appear telling u that the game has been placed into the waiting room.? - If it does then click Main Page to see if its listed. Do u know that any games that u place in the Waiting room will not be visible to u when viewing the WR page.? :)

yes i have some slots free only playing 10 games
at the moment,still can't post a game to the waiting room.thanks for you help ian

If u have at least 1 game slot free then u shouldn't have any problems.! - If u still have difficulties then let me know & i will try to see if it works 4 me.! :)

do u make sure you log out before she logs in? that might be it.. not sure just a thought

When my wife is login in on her name and password she comes into mine game page. I think we have a bug here

thanks, i tell her

Thanks fencer

Thankyou Fencer ... that makes sense :)

yes, i wasnt sure and couldnt find it i didnt think to look on your faqs it sends ya a msg for each win or loss while goin thru the 5 games thats why i wondered i still havent finished a 5 game match yet thats why i asked...thanxx es

And there is a line about it at FAQ page.

Eddie: Only the whole match result is counted for your statistics and BKR. Maybe I should improve the messages to make it more clear, otherwise it could be confusing, what do you think?

BOMBER: Because in your game with Silkwood you [or the opponent] did not perform the first move. Both players must do at least one move to make the game rated. For more about ratings, please see FAQ page.

Uil: Yes, it is allowed :-)

Niki: If the player finishes only 4 games, the rating does not show his/her "real" rating because the formula is based on too few numbers. The rating should be more exact after finishing 20 games or more.

why can't i post games in the waiting room.im on ntldtv

when playin a 5 game match....after you win a game it sends you a msg but you dont get a win added on...once ya win the 5 game match or lose do any of those individal wins or loses count? or do you only get one win or one loss for the whole lot of 5 games?...

Ive played 4 line4, but im still not rated...Why is that?

Mu wife also wants to play on BrainKing but we share one e-mail address. Is that allowed?

I know I've queried it before .. and yes, I have read how the ratings work .. but I'm still confused !! How can someone only have played 4 games, against a low rated player, yet still have a really high BKR ?
I'm not jealous .. honest .. just don't get it ?? :0)

Thank you for the help Niki!

If you go to your settings page, down at the bottom there is a box to check to say if you want email notification or not. That should stop the emails :)

Is it possible (and if so, how ?) to turn off the email notification when it's my turn to move in a game ? I find all those emails very annoying.

For everybody who requested this feature: Now it is possible to turn the game message archive [displayed under game boards] off. It could be useful for users who suffer of too long game pages when the conversation "very live" ;-)

thanks

Uil..from the FAQ:

What is BKR and how is it calculated?
BKR means "BrainKing Rating" and is calculated by US Chess Federation formula for each kind of a game separately according to your game results. The player who finishes at least 4 rated games of one kind (everybody who defines a new game can specify whether the game will be "rated" - the result will be calculated for BKR - or not), earns "provisional BKR" displayed by italic font (e.g. 1870). After finishing 25 rated games of one kind the provisional BKR changes to "established BKR" and is displayed by normal font (e.g. 1853). If you complete more games, your BKR is more accurate because is based on more results.

After how many games do you get rated? Uil

Fixed.

ellieoop: You are welcome :-)

tiredguy: Thanks! I'll download that :-)
