Luke Skywalker: I don't want to have it mathematically correct. There are many people who don't know what a torus is but everyone knows a sphere.

Fencer: of course you are free to call it anything you like, but I thought you would want to be mathematically correct.

Luke Skywalker: No, I like sphere.

should be called torus froglet

plaintiger: This is a side effect of one recent bugfix and affects only older messages.

i just got a message saying "the game is a draw" for game #1216857, part of a hyper backgammon match in which my opponent won both games.

first, the messages announcing results should refer to matches as "matches" rather than "games" (there's a difference), and second, why is this thing saying the game *or* the match is a draw? a drawn game is not possible in hyper backgammon, and the match was not a draw, but a rout.

thanks...

Tuesday: Both of us no.

Harley!!

May the bad girl have one??

Hey Fencer can you answer my simple question i asked in the Pahtum discussion board ......?
Curious as always......

The www.brainking.info site could contain the site down message, for people who might think to check that site. I often go there when the site is down to check. (Though nothing has been put there in eons!) :-)

Marfitalu: Fixed.

Fencer: OK, thank you

Princess Alison: Working now.

Fencer: I went to click on the link for your wife's art site, but it takes u to the log in page of Brainking

You are right madPhilip I didn't thought of that......

Pythagoras: In case of a hardware upgrade there is no server to put such page to.

Since i didn't noticed the warning about the hardware upgrade, i was trying to connect but i couldn't. Since this happens from time to time (BKR recalculations,upgrades etc) and when i try to connect no page appears, and since i usually don't read the announcements, when this happens i don't know the reason and start to think possible causes like if my internet connection is the reason if it's only me etc.

I think that if something like that occurs that would make the site being down for a while, you should have a page that would say site is temporarily unavailable for 2 hours etc.......


Also what is this small dot in the top of the cursor, while i'm writing here....?

thanks , glad i checked on that ;)

Jason: No.

is game time suspended for ponds too ?

harley: That indeed does it. I didn't know that was possible. I must've hit both at the same time and didn't realize it. Thanks

Walter Montego: No, they haven't changed. If you have a scroll mouse, try holding down 'Ctrl' and scroll up or down, that will change the size of the text.

Have they changed, or'd something happen to my computer?

thank you both, that helped:)

Fencer: LOL....I'll keep that in mind!

Fencer:

Kipling: "You guys are on the ball" sounds funny when I translate it to Czech exactly, word by word.

Fencer: WTG!
That was quick. You guys are on the ball, and I thank you.

Fencer: LOL...I should have read this!

wellywales: There seems to be a wrong constraint in the database structure. It will be fixed soon.

Fencer!, Thanks for the server news, but when I click on "Remove", it does not

ellieoop: on the setings page, sort games by time left ascending, that should get you what you want

Howdy ellieoop, The column titles "Game Event Opponent Your color Move Time left" are links. Whichever you click is how the list will be sorted.

The green light indicates a time control with fixed (ie. Sat/Sun) weekends and no other vacation days allowed. More info here.

my game sheet was in order of games with shortest time left on the top, and now they're all mixed up, and i can't remember how to fix them in settings. also one game has 26 days and a green light, what does that mean?
thx. in advance, ellie:)

Fencer: OK, thank you for leting me/us know

Stevie:

Princess Alison: Liquid was upgrading the application server and forgot one config file. Nothing serious.

Stevie: probably when all of us over here log on, huh? : (

happens alot for me :o(

Princess Alison: it hasn't been much of a problem this side of the pond...a minute or two today that I know of, but aside from that, up and running just fine

alanback: Its the first time it has happened to me tonight, even though the web site keeps crashing left right and centre of late

Princess Alison: 404 is what you get when your browser can't find the web page. Happens all the time to me on this site.

Fencer: what is Error 404, we all go booted off here a minute ago, and that was what kept coming up.

rabbitoid: Actually its mostly Fencer who chooses, with input from others like sometimes people say 'hey it would be good if Mr/Mrs X was interviewed' and I'll give that name to Fencer, then he has the final decision.

rabbitoid: I believe it's nominations, though harley may make the final selection. On the other hand a quick search found this.

harley: one question I wanted to ask, but you: how do you pick your victims?

hotmommy22: Have a click on the Interviews link at the top of this board. That'll show the what. The 'why' varies. First, of course, the royalty, then some early members and global moderators. Now the search has moved out into the general poulation...

hotmommy22: Interviews to learn more about different users.

Past interviews: http://brainking.com/en/Interviews

harley: Interview about what and why. Just curious.
