MadMonkey: My pleasure. Although I have no idea how it is related to BrainKing Design.

jadarite: GameSpy is not a game site, it just publishes game reviews. Yahoo is probably maintained by a much bigger team than BrainKing. By the way, who told you that I want to compete with other sites? That's not my intention at all. I have my own rules and I change them only if I want to, not because someone claims that "other sites have it!".
There is no real time chat feature on BrainKing because it's not necessary to add it. When I change my mind, I will implement it. But now I don't think it would be worth the effort.

jadarite: A weakness? Allowing everybody to post embedded elements of any kind and anywhere would be a real weakness. Please show me a game site which allows its users to do it.

jadarite: If you are here only because of using the embed tag, then you should really go to another site.

pauloaguia: Well, the former purpose of the simple style was to create an equivalent to the main Castle style without any graphics, which is the reason why it has inherited some style attributes. But it can be changed, of course.
Or people could try to switch back to the Castle one.

AbigailII: I hope you don't expect me to allow a JavaScript injection.

BIG BAD WOLF: Yes, that would be possible.

BIG BAD WOLF: The site will be always slower for some users, especially for those who start more than 1000 games at once, no matter if they like it or not. And this issue does not belong to the design board.

BIG BAD WOLF: To calculate the BKR change takes several milliseconds and the majority of other information on the game pages is pre-cached in the BK allocated memory, so there are almost no database queries at all. As I have said, the lookups are very optimized and usually eat only a fraction of the whole request-response time.

BIG BAD WOLF: Have you tried to calculate how many kilobytes you would save if the listed parts of the game pages were removed?
Not much, I can assure you. The biggest amount of transferred data is contained in the game board code itself and since it's the most important part of the page, it must stay there. If you experience a slower loading of the page, it is usually caused by other things which have nothing to do with BrainKing's visual layer.

AbigailII: Yes, that could be done. I know there are some small sections which were not optimized for the new design yet.

BIG BAD WOLF: Good one. But maybe you should rename the extension to .css, ccs is a typo.

pauloaguia: It is done.

Gordon Shumway: Yes, I know. The strategy is still being formulated. But I don't think there would be many changes to the CSS structure in the future.

AbigailII: It is done.

Gordon Shumway: Yes, I do. When a style is finished and works with no problems on all major web browsers (Firefox, IE 7, Opera), I will add it to the BrainKing repository and everyone will be able to set it on the Settings page.

AbigailII: I don't keep this statistics and I don't it's worth analyzing the server access log files.

rabbitoid: Users who have been active in last 14 days.

Castle: 3572
Simple: 553
No fonts: 334

rabbitoid: I will generate it when I am back.

Gordon Shumway: Good work.

AbigailII: Right, I agree.

TarantinoFan: Please file it as a priority 5 bug.
Otherwise I will forget about it.

AbigailII: Use the new option "External style URL" on the Settings page.

TarantinoFan: Not anymore.

pauloaguia: We are flexible.

BIG BAD WOLF: Like this?
