I hope it all goes well for you :) and hoping you have fixed the "having to play each game twice" bug.....god that is annoying

Good luck to you and Liquid:)

he will do just fine and stay awake in the process!!!!

No God there but a Bumble Bee.....take out the stinger and they (or, he) is just fine!

The local time is 8:30 a.m. The process is planned on 9:00 but the exact time depends on several factors - my way through Prague to Liquid's and waking him up :-)

thanks, looking forward to it.
good luck Fencer.

About 30 - 60 mins. Then the conversion will start and the site will be down for several hours. Any possible problems will be posted on BrainKing.info [if they occur].

how long to go now before the changeover Fencer?

Tick ... tick ... tick ... tick ...

hehehe....you wish sir :)

But you can call me bumble. :o)

There Is a God!!!!!

For the past 48 hours alll my backgammon boards have been royally mucked up.....Something is wrong somewher and it aint't just my webtv. I can go other places but I sure can't seem to play my games here. Playing with a full board would be nice!!!!

5 games have now timed out because the boards are mucked up!!!!

What time, East coast USA, is this site planning on being down for the switchover? And for approximatly how long? Thanks :)

Fencer: Just heard www.chessworld.com advertised on the radio here so i went and looked. Seems to be all sorts of chess merchandise & sites (Pogo & IYT) links on there.
Is there anyway BrainKing can get on there or would you have to pay ? :-)

You are most welcome IMupChuckKingC! :)

Duh... I should know better, but hadn't tried that yet :)
Anywho, it worked! Thanks for the help.

I'm webtv and everything is fine for me too..

I'm on webtv.. and everything is fine..
Turn your unit off for a min. then log back on..
It maybe your memory in your unit!
Just a suggestion.. :)

Looks like a webTV problem then as Explorer & Netscape are working fine. Must be something here effecting just webTV, unless anyone else has a problem. Take note of any timed-out games, and PM Fencer.
BK 2.0 is still down to be released Saturday morning, BUT nothing there should be effecting anything here as they are totaly seperate sites at present.

fencers I think

who's saturday morning ????

Ill have to look to see what time differences

Im webtv too!

so the change over is saturday morning right?

To MM and others.....I am using a webtv and I haven't changed any of my settings since I first registered on this site. Webtv users are very limited compared to PC users. I've had one game time out because I couldn't play and more may follow if things don't get straightened around. LOL... I'd love to see the complete board, in order to know where to play. If I am to win or lose, I'd like to see that too. I can't play with this type of a board disadvantage

Are you both using PC's ?

All of my backgammon games are like that too, totally unplayable.

awwww SOD what you done now LOL - it must be your system settings somehow :-(
How long has it been doing it ?

it must be the MONSTER.....BK2.....

All my boards are bigger and some board areas are missing. I can't see where my opponent may be lying in waiting! I can't play my games because of this flaw.

If you have a scrool wheel on your mouse, the text can change also if you hold down the "CTRL" key while you move the mouse wheel. (This happens to me often)

want a fun pratical joke to play at work, take the ball out of the mouse in the next cube. makes for hours of fun!!!

Great, I found it, thanks.

Oh! On my computer it's on the bar above the 'home' and 'search' symbols - the bar contains, from the left, 'file', 'edit', 'view', 'favourites', 'tools' and 'help'.

Top of the computer above the BrainKing part? Has it got a picture? This computer's in japanese and there's nothing that looks like "view" written.

Go to 'view' at the top of your screen and select 'text size'.

All my letters and boards have got bigger. Is that from someone playing with this computer? If so, how do I undo it?

Yes, site is kinda wobbly this morning here too! (NJ-USA)

don't know, but I couldn't get on.

what broke for last couple of hours?

Mine is a bit faster but not like normal :o((

Ive had "not respond to request" too today, but thats on the feature request board! LOL

Site is faster now than it was earlier

I'm getting the white screens, and the "did not respond to request" stuff...

nope, not right now, was a couple of hours ago though

anyone else getting slow browsing of site?

ROFL @ cole.

now theres a contridiction in terms!! LMAO
it is only used when it serves the purpose of our fearfull leader who obviously is too busy fishing to fix a boat.At least the promises are down to a week now rather than a month.

Fencer...will there be music...I like music...
something blusey....or easy Jazz...huh...what...
runs from Fencer who has had last nerve shredded and is fingering a very sharp knife...Nevermind...
:}

Is there any type of rules like in Chess where if both players make the same move for more then 3 times in a row, the game can be considered a draw?

I have to agree with my husband that this is a graat site! They have had their problems in the past and seem to have fixed them to a point. Can't wait to see what happens with BK 2.0 series. I'm sure there will be some bugs that will need to be taken care of, just like any new program. The only thing that bothers me is the nitpicking that goes on in this site. I've said this before when the problem with MM and Stevie came up, I think there is enough fighting going on in this world without people fighting on a game site. This is suppose to be fun for everyone. Of course there are people that don't get along with each other. If you don't get along with them, put them on your enemies list. That is what it is there for. The fighting, arguing, disagreeing, etc. needs to stop. Why can't everyone get along anymore? I'm sure (at least I hope) things will calm down. Let's just play and enjoy ourselves. This should be a past time for people to enjoy and relax and talk to people they have met on this site that they call friends. My husband and I have met quite a few people that we are happy to call friends from this site. Hopefully you feel the same way. Fencer, keep up the good work!
