is anybody elses waiting games out of order as compared to their settings? I have mine set for time left/ascending but it being sorted by game type, and has for a couple of days now

Vikings: Nope, my games are all in order.

Vikings: never mind, I figured it out, I must have inadvertantly clicked on "game" on my main page

Vikings: Always watch the green arrow.

Hello Philip and Other members of the site. Last Year I started my own webpageand added Brainking to it. As time has drifted by I have excelled in my abilities and am about to implement them. (My webpage can be found on my profile here) Anyways, I have 2 questions. 1) On the support us page you can view the logo's you've distributed for advertising your site. But where can I locate the image directory for it so I don't have to add the image to my own FTP space? Could you add that to the support us page please. 2) Recently I have encountered another turn based game site whch is less than a year old. One of the things they offer is a referal system. If someone goes to the site and registers from the link you place on your page they are added to your profiles referal area. If they become a paying member you get points for the referal. The points can be added up to purchase, renew, or whatever a membership there. Do you have any plans of implementing a simular sytem here? If so, I would like to get the script added to my page.

Leo The Lion: See "Brains" on the menu to your left. That's the referral process, however any new paying member would need to currently refer your ID number when buying membership, in order for you to get "Brains".

I'm sure Fencer will be more specific regarding the "links" etc.

Leo The Lion:
Here are the 3 URLs for the banners:

????????

Pythagoras: they work fine if you copy and paste them...same as mine on the Bg board yesterday

Pythagoras:

They work for me

Yes i'm about to prove the existence of aliens!!!!
Here is the evidence:
francescolr 24. December 2005 7621 MOVES played.

7621 moves at 1 day.
If we assume 6 hours for sleeping then we have:
7621 moves at 18 hours =
423 moves per 1 hour =
7 moves per minute =
1 move every 8 seconds for 18 hours without any break!!!!
This is not human

So francescolr: Whats speeds your spacecraft reaches.....?


(OFF Topic-but since the evidence of an alien is one of the most interesting things, i hope i'm allowed to post this)

Bry:

I know about the brains here and how they work. What I am interested in is the automatic referal that would give me credit from a user who registered here, after clicking the link on my site. Else wise, they could say they found the site just from surfing the net.

Arctic:

Thanks for the links. It is enough info for me to just touch up a tad. Gonna have 2 sections. A 2 level CSS Menu at the top and then a string of the banners for the sites I would recommend. BrainKing being one of them. Will probably do a layout for BK the same as the "other" site, but am going to keep the "referrals" at the top of the page.

Pythagoras: 7621 moves a day doesn't surprise/shock me as much as the fact that it was Christmas!

Pedro Martínez: also surprising that Christmas was almost 5 months ago :)

Pythagoras:
1 move every 8 seconds for 18 hrs...
Sounds like he either had help with game moves or was on meth LOL

Cant take your hand off the mouse either, so after 18 hrs U would think that his hand is the shape of his mouse LMAO

Pythagoras: If I remember correctly he played 23 hours. We should see that he had lot's of first moves. But is it really worth it?

Salkkuman:
*But is it really worth it?*

Yes

Baked Alaskan: *But is it really worth it?* sure. Spend 23 hours on BrainKing every day!

So, I am guessing that someone with one of these black rooks can get to the top of some leader board, or whatever, then leave the site and stay on top indefinitely if they choose to, without ever playing another game, for example?

Czuch Chuckers: If you are talking about ratings, then after 6 months without a completed game, they will be taken off the rating list.

BIG BAD WOLF: Exactly. If not it would be the case for all memberships. But consider Czuch, after, for example, 5 years leaving the site you can come back and find yourself still a rook.

Czuch Chuckers: it should be pointed out that the ratings would still be the same just hidden until a game is finished

The 2006 World 4-Way Chess Championships on-line are starting soon. Use google to find the web-site. $250 First Prize. No Entry Fee. Does BrainKing have plans to add 4-Way Chess to its games? Playing at a high tech site like this would definitely boost participation

4waychessman: BrainKing currently doesn't support 4 player games.

4-Way Chess is played with partner's, so each team would have one player who goes to the board and inputs the moves, and the partners could just go to the board an list their move in a special spot. wouldn't require 4 player support

Fencer: What about the referral idea, does it support that??

Marfitalu: I've noticed a typo in this posting. :)

Marfitalu: What typo?

Fencer: "irregularry"

If a game has zero left left on the opponents clock why doesnt it time out? Is it because we keep playing back and forth even though is shows him with -0 time? http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=1628155

Rose: I believe the time out script only runs every 5-10 mintues or something like that, so as long as it is not on his turn when the time-out script runs, he can get away with it.

Marfitalu: That probably has something to do with the fact that رضا's name is written in a "right-to-left" language

pauloaguia: I'm sure that in the Farsi version of the site that "bug" won't be noticeable ;)
If you want to make a neat test, try writing a few characters using the latin alphabet, then paste some arabic ones and the another latins chars. Then move your cursor around and you'll see it gets all mixed up as well...

pauloaguia:

Right. It's a mix of different alphabets. I am not sure if it can be fixed at all.

I didnt take this to feature request because I didnt think it was a feature but a general request for the site.

When you havent been on in a few days and you have hundreds of RED numbers next to FB's and F/s"s it is just too much to read....can we have a drop down list of all FB's and F/s"s and click on each of them that we dont want to read and delete the whole thing...
For instance the PIT...is the same ole same ole every day withe the same ole same ole people saying the same ole same ole things HAHAHAHHA....
the Gen Chat is getting that way as well...bot of these with hundreds of messages and not one really worth reading....dont jump on me, but to read it all takes time and some of us(??) do have a life outside BK...it takes a while to load if there are hundreds of messages (when you are on dial up)...Fencer Please consider this SITE REQUEST?

Fencer: Oh come on Fencer. Don't underestimate yourself. You can do anything. If my name is mixing things up, I'll turn it back to English for now. But remember, I'm always رضا not Reza.

In a fellowship, I noticed that people are using bigger sizes of letters and different colours. How do we do it?

Reza: Look on the General Chat board, BBW did a post explaining how it can be done.

Jules: Thanks.

BerniceC: Just go to the discussion board once, dont read anything, and the red numbers will be gone!

Czuch Chuckers: Works for me

OK here are some HTML code that works on Brainking:

<b>BOLD</b>
<i>Italics</i>
<u>Underline</u>
<strike>Strike out</strike>

A₈₂ Makes A₈₂
20¹⁰ Makes 20¹⁰

<center> Center text</center>
[Edited to see if the center element creates the problem discussed above. That's why the text isn't at the center, because i removed the center entity.]

<li>First statement
<li>Second statement
Produces:

First statement

Second statement


<ol>
<li>First statement
<li>Second statement
<li>Third statement
Produces:

1. First statement
   
2. Second statement
   
3. Third statement
   (Not usefull since we can simply enter the numbers ourselves)
   
   
   <font size="6">Sets font size = 6</font>
   <font size="+4">Increases font size by 4</font>
   <font size="-2">Decreases font size by 2</font>
   
   
   <font color="Red">Set fond color to Red</font>
   <font color="Blue">Set fond color to Blue</font>
   <font color="#ad1af7">Set fond color to #ad12f7</font>
   After # we can set 6 hexademical digits. Each digit is 0-9 or a,b,c,d,e,f. So valid colors are for example: #f1d11a , #111af0 ,#dde229 , #111111
   
   <font color="#228b22" size="5">Set fond color to #228b22 AND set font size to 5</font>
   
   <pre>
   write text with as many spaces and with
   the format you want !!!!!!
   [Edited since pre causes some problems on the appearance of the page. So the text doesn't appear free-formatted as it should be if i actually use pre entity]

BerniceC: also you can change the amount of messages per page, drop it down to about 20 or so and there will be less to load

Czuch Chuckers:

Can someone please explain to me what is going on with the page.. It looks like the info on each page i open has been moved down a wee bit.. Huh? Why?

Radiant Aunt: Yes, i have to scroll from left to right to read the posts, i think it might have something to do with where Pythagoras was explaining about the HTML thingy and its just taken up alot of sapce in his message box, if that makes sense, i think, but not sure.

WatfordFC: Its ok for me , but im on a wide screen so maybe thats why its ok for me

WatfordFC: I believe you are correct there.. I would guess it is the center text tag or the size of font which has it out of whack!

Jason: lol ive got a 17", oh gawd that doesnt souind right does it lmao
