oldhamgirl: go to "Settings" in the left column and remove all three check marks under "Show banner ads"

20. februar 2007, 11:50:54

well not being as knowledgeable as you I dont know how to do that

20. februar 2007, 11:43:13

Emne: Re:

oldhamgirl: Why don't you turn them off on the Settings page then?

20. februar 2007, 11:42:35

well my son says it could be something to do with the ads running at the bottom which I have never had before

Emne: Re:

oldhamgirl: I can be hardly unhelpful when there is no help to offer.

As I have already said, BrainKing contains no ActiveX components, so whatever message you receive, it's not from us. Ergo, we are not the problem source, thus we cannot solve it.

20. februar 2007, 11:35:04

ok if you want to be picky I have used it since it came out and today is the first day I have had a problem. No need for you to be so unhelpful, its not a criticism of YOUR site

oldhamgirl: You could not use IE 7 for years since it was released in 2007.

20. februar 2007, 11:32:15

but I have been on this site for a few years now and always used the same browser, it has only started today

20. februar 2007, 11:31:21

Emne: Re: Active X

oldhamgirl: Why do you use such a buggy browser as MS Internet Explorer 7 is? Try Firefox instead. Furthermore, there are no ActiveX controls on BrainKing because I hate this technology.

20. februar 2007, 11:29:25

Emne: Active X

Ok let me try asking again.
Everytime I have a move on this site, and this has only started today, why am I getting a pop up saying "click to run an active X on this webpage". It is driving me nuts.

Emne: Re: NewGameList

Fencer: Will be the current layout available once the new one can be used? I have 800x600 and I like to have all the information without a horizontal scrolling.

19. februar 2007, 23:08:44

Emne: Re: Problems!

Fencer: How do you make the site run without scripts?

19. februar 2007, 22:34:17

Emne: Re: NewGameList

AbigailII: Me neither. And I can see everything.
But this will not be the only theme. I am sure we will have more to select from. Later.

19. februar 2007, 22:31:26

Emne: Re: NewGameList

Fencer: Less games without scrolling downwards.

As for the amount of pixels, I don't have my browser set to full screen - that's way too annoying.

..all fixed thanks Fencer,i must have had my roll's,site went off,then when i got back i thought it was my go again?

19. februar 2007, 22:28:34

Emne: Re: NewGameList

AbigailII: What do you mean "less games"? The amount of data is still the same, there is no reason to hide some games.
About a horizontal scrolling - it's not necessary if you use at least 1024x768 screen resolution. Which should not be a problem, nowadays. There is no point to restrict ourselves to 800x600 only.

Emne: NewGameList

I've looked at the new page. All the information is there, at about the same place. I guess lots of people like the castle theme, but I'm not at all big on fluff. I do notice that NewGameList shows less games of the "games where it is my turn" list (which for me is by far the most important information on the page). And it requires horizontal scrolling where the current interface doesn't. That despite the new page using a smaller font (border line small for my taste).

I'd say that for looks, NewGameList wins. For usability, the current page wins.

Emne: Re: dice poker...

Tulip: are you sure you havent already rolled the allowed number of times and its just time to click your selection on the board? i did that where i left a game after the last roll and came back to it to find no boxes - cause i had already rolled the allowed number...

19. februar 2007, 22:17:24

19. februar 2007, 22:14:14

Emne: Re: dice poker...

Tulip: If you mean checkboxes, there is no reason why your browser should not display it.

19. februar 2007, 22:09:46

Emne: Re: dice poker...

Tulip: Just kidding :)

Did you mean "little boxes"?

19. februar 2007, 21:21:45

Emne: IS a good answer!!!

Modifisert av TexasToest (19. februar 2007, 20:09:40)

Fencer: Thank you, Fencer. That WAS a good answer.

[edit] And, I like that idea. A place where we can shamelessly go see if someone else has the same stupid problem, right or wrong.

19. februar 2007, 20:02:45

Emne: Re: NOT a good answer!!!

Jason: Good idea. It could be called, "The board Fencer never reads."

19. februar 2007, 19:59:31

Jason

Emne: Re: NOT a good answer!!!

Fencer: why not just create another board for questions such as...... it is slow today or is it crashing alot today , a page just on its own then no one would be scared to ask thesetype of questions ,
it would be handy for people to see if its just brainking or there own pc ect

I just went away for a little while, and people jumped all over that problem. Very Impressive!

To answer BBW question, I'm using Mozilla Firefox. Also I scan my computer daily for spyware/adware/virus/etc. It runs on a timer like most people have, but I will run it manually and see if that solves the problem. Thanks for the input.

EDIT: I found that IE does not have the problem. I can makes moves on the games and delete messages without getting that download popup. Maybe its a problem with Firefox?

19. februar 2007, 19:57:33

Emne: Re: NOT a good answer!!!

Fencer: Thanks. But of course, nothing is ever really wrong.

19. februar 2007, 19:48:31

Emne: Re: NOT a good answer!!!

alanback: Wrong! But you are right.

19. februar 2007, 19:46:17

Emne: Re: NOT a good answer!!!

Fencer: So is it wrong to say something is wrong if you are wrong, but right to say something is wrong if you are right?

19. februar 2007, 19:40:55

I have been crashing a lot but seems to be ok now, glad someone else is I thought it was my computer

19. februar 2007, 19:22:07

19. februar 2007, 19:09:58

Emne: Anybody else crashing a lot?

It seems to be worse during my mornings, which probably means there is work being done on the site?

But I know what you mean.

Emne: Re: Problems!

Preachor: Show game is the name of the applet on the server that is used to open the game page -- have you tried allowing the download to proceed even once? It may work. Otherwise, try clearing your cache, something may be corrupted in there.
