TexasToest: Yes, you can set up a tournament with a start date with a long time from now. Then when you MANUALLY look and see that it is filled up like you want, you can MANUALY edit the start date to now and start the tournament that way.

Can I set up a fellowship tournament that has a deadline to sign up a year out from the current date (updated occasionally, but not less than once a year); all games included; and as soon as there are [n] players signed up, the games begin? How would the system handle that?

Oh, and on topic - I had problems getting on BK a couple of days ago. I couldn't get on on a bet. The next day, all was well. That's my opinion, and I am unanimous in that.

hahaha.. Okay.. Okay.. you peeps are too much!!

Actually.. I am just now back on and cruising through just nicely..

That the pages are loading for me between 1 and a half to 2 seconds.

Pedro:

I've had intermittent problems but no more than a minute each time. I'll post after each one from now on, just in case someone can spot a pattern..

Pedro Martínez: Literally made me LMBOTIPMP!

lol, mines good too

My, my brother's and my cousin's connections are all good - that's 8 users now - 22428 comments to go.

webtv is just as slow as usual!

ScarletRose: Here good connection too

Strange - I got everything very fast.

ScarletRose: Its not just you, I am on broadband also and I am having trouble with it being so slow for some reason, yet other sites come right up!!

with this site being slow?? My games take forever loading up.. as well as most links.. I am on High Speed and don't recall this site being this slow.. don't think it is my server cause all my other sites come up quickly..

To you all. :-)

try this

alexlee: Thanks :o), but im not having any luck with any of those free ones, they either dont do Czech, or the ones that do... are nie on useless at it LOL

Luckily Flake,Maxinna and Venus have helped me usually ;o)

Stevie:

bumble: doesnt do Cesky ;op

Stevie: Not the dreaded translation sites!

One I know of is: http://babelfish.altavista.com/

I found a link to a translation site.. can anyone point me in the direction of it please? as I cant find it now LOL ( it wasnt in a post,, it was part of BK)

harley: ok ta, just wasnt sure if it was the site or me being incapable of finding how to access it hehe

Stevie: Yes it was for a while.

down last night?

heavenlyemma: Not sure I can do anything, as I gave him some sugar after he gave me some. I'm not sure if that would be deemed egging him on.

harley: Fine then I will get Jules to send them to Fencer and see what is done. But I don't believe anything will be done about this bloke.

heavenlyemma: Thats not true, Emma. If a complaint is made appropiately something will always be done. This is getting inappropriate though, its ok to ask about the best thing to do in certain circumstances, like Lamby did to start with, but details should be kept for PM's.
If someone is bothering you in games, ask them not to speak to you again and warn them you'll report them if they carry on. If they do, send the notes to a global mod and tell them you're not happy with this person. That really is the best way to go about it.

JMDLovesNirvana: I didn't see you apologise to ME or JULES for your sick comments in his games moves.

But I know I am not liked by the Globs so they wouldn't do SUGAR.

Happy now Harley?

Stevie: Just tell her to resign the stupid game. And what he said to Jules in game moves about me was a hell of alot sicker, maybe i'll get Jules to complain to Fencer, but what do I care.

Czuch Chuckers: Just a typo. But thanks so much for mentioning it.

reza: I know you like your english helped. The correct word would be says, not say....

Now we are going to start with the same stuff that you did with me in the flame pit Stevie and Lamby on here I see. What I said was jokes. I posted a public apology in The Flame Pit for all to see. Neither one of you know me and therefore you don't seem to be able to tell when I am joking or not. I told you I was, and I apologized for making anyone upset. I didn't intend to.

Lamby:
so may be worth showing a Glob or Fencer what he is saying.. as the same player has said very sick stuff to others in game also

BrainKing staff is small, so if you have a complaint against other users – please be patient with us while we try to look at all the facts. You have to remember that this is a game site, and we try to spend the majority of our time in improving the game site itself.

Lamby: And perhaps you can try to avoid reading what he say .....

heavenlyemma: If it's a match already in progress or you end up paired with that player in a tournament you really haven't the option not to play him... unless you resign, but it's unfair to have to resign in a game because of missconduct from your opponent.

Lamby: Don't play him. Sinple.

Fencer: I have a player on block as he is abusing & harassing me with foul language & insults in our game. Even though I have him on block I can still see his posts........is there any way I can hide what he is saying to me?

Merry Christmas

BIG BAD WOLF: Thats what I thought. Maybe it a feature request, but it seems to me it would be better to just not let the game times move for 24 hours instead of leting them go to zero and time out right after midnight in czech time. Just my 2 cents, as it wont effect me either way.

Czuch Chuckers: I believe for site holidays, the time out function is just turned off. So games still count down, and I believe go into negative time - and then once the site is off of it's site holiday, any game with below 0 will be timed out.

If I understand correctly, even games marked as "no days off" will also not time out during this time.

I guess I never noticed before, but hwen there is a site holiday, for example, shouldnt the times of games just stop going down, or even have 24 hours added to them, instead of just going down, possibly into negative time where they will time out soon after the holiday has finished?

It seems that if I make a move and then leave the site with a 1 day game, and the next day is a site holiday, and my opponent comes on and mover after I am gone, then I should be able to come back the day after the holiday and not have my game timed out. As it is now, I leave and my game times down to zero during the holiday and then times out soon after the holiday is over?

Do I understand this correcty? I am probably just confused on the facts of this one...

Eriisa: All games with the Fischer's clock are with a red dot.

Depends on the setting of the fischer game, I think. If its no days off, etc.... then auto-vacation won't work.

Eriisa: Okay thanks again!

The auto vacation doesnt apply to fischer games does it?

I just looked at the calendar on the Settings page. The holiday covers Sat, Sun & Mon.

Thanks!
Merry christmas all!

shortly after midnight I believe, but don't forget about auto vacation

Vikings: so that game will time out at midnight czech time if there is no move?

Czuch Chuckers: correct

Eriisa: oh... so doesnt it put more time on a game intead of going negative?

Czuch Chuckers: Today is a site holiday.

Czuch Chuckers: Tis the Season.. I think This will be the last time we can count on Christmas.. ;)
