nodnarbo: no,the IE8 is handling the problem WAY better then the IE7 did

anastasia: I have 4 differ3ent browsers on my computer for different reasons. None of them interfer with the others. I mainly use safari for this site only. You don't have to switch, just use it for the sites you want

anastasia: IE8 is a beta version, that might be causing problems, hard to be sure though...

anastasia: Of course you can have more than one browser. I still have IE on my computer because some sites don't work great with firefox. You can use two browsers at once, so it really doesn't have to affect your surfing habits at all.

I like my browser tho....don't wanna chnage it because of trouble with one site

TheCrazyPuppy: not sure but I REALLY like it....I just got ANOTHER error message from ONLY this site...wish I could copy and paste it but it dissapears as soon as the IE8 reloads the page....the basic message is that there was an error on the site page and it must close,BUT IE8 is able to not completely close it,but reload it for me.I am not having this trouble with any other site....could it be something with the ads that pawns get?

anastasia: using firefox at home with no problems at all .. using IE at work .. and also having no problems ... but i visit less pages on this site at work and make less moves from work

maybe pawns get some extra's which paying members dont get (ads or something like that) .. maybe those extra's cause trouble ?

anastasia:  I quit using IE long ago.  Safari is very fast once you get it loaded.  It's faster than Firefox but I think Firefox has better protection safeguards.  Anyway you slice it, IE is no where near as good as a few other browsers (like Firefox). 

anastasia: I have trouble off and on with the site, but especially when I use IE. A friend suggested I download safari..it's a free download and a great browser...and the site works great for me with it. I think you can just go to safari.com and it will walk ya thru..hope that helps!
Also, on the computers board, there's alot of discussion on different browsers to use. Good luck!

Hi guys...just needed to know is anyone having trouble with this site lately?? I don't mean all the lag and stuff,I mean things like getting error messages from IE,stuff like that....I have tried EVERYTHING I could think of because I thought I had a virus or summin....I put in IE8 today and EVERYTIME I come to this site,I get some kind of an error message from microsoft windows...having to shut this site down from the computer....I have my pages tabbed and it shuts ONLY this one down.Before IE8 the puter would just freeze and shut down all my tabs,IE 8 is only shutting this one,which is apparently effected by something...anyone else (pawns mainly) having troubles??

The topic is, what is the topic?

rod03801: What is the topic we should be getting back to? I've totally forgetten since it strayed so far off the straight and narrow.

the most recent thread is really getting off topic. Let's get back please!

Tuesday:Neither am I.  In fact, I am completely indifferent.

Tuesday, Apparently I missed something...Can I step in here and say something without offending? On your profile it says you are from the Unites States. Just for clarification, the Unites States is NOT a democracy. It is a Republic nation.

Fencer:Some people think democracy is anarchy with privileges and no responsibilities.

Fencer: Doing the same on brainrook.com as well

That 'Update Scanner' for Firefox is great for picking up thing like that

MadMonkey: You are right, it's just happened to me too.
Seems to be a database problem on Hostican servers.
Well, just wait and keep trying.

Fencer: hmmmm just tried again, and it just sits there doing nothing, after a couple of retries i get:

serendipity error: unable to connect to database - exiting.

again ........ most odd

MadMonkey: Works for me.

Just in case its important

serendipity error: unable to connect to database - exiting.

Tuesday: Democracy? Impossible. Who does not know how to behave, will be banned and censored. That's the rule.

Hrqls: All domains (including brainking.nl) should be already redirected here. Please try it.

Tuesday: A full democracy?? Mmmmmm Is there such a thing these days?

Fencer: how about the translated domains like brainking.nl .. will they stop working as well ? do we have tp use web.brainking.nl or still brainking.nl ?

pauloaguia: Just to add, the old BrainKing.com domain IP address will stop working in 6 hours because the servers will be physically removed.

Rose: When the servers changed, the old server was redirecting to web.brainking.com which has probably been created in advance for DNS servers to be properly updated by the time of the change.
If you still haven't closed your browser since or have one of those session saving features that reopens all your tabs when you open the browser, than it's likely you never got redirected back to the standard address. Just type brainking.com at the URL text box and you're all set.

But it will work either way, as long as Fencer doesn't deactivate the web.brainking.com address

Bernice: This is a technical issue. Nobody expects you to understand.

Rose: ah yes Rose.....it couldn't be BK fault now could it....your server isn't properly configured LOL...

I think all DNS servers should be already updated. Otherwise, they are not properly configured.
In other words, all BrainKing domains should be mapped to the new server location.

Rose: It is explained on the .INFO site - http://brainking.info/

your DNS still points to old server, and the old server points back to web.brainking.com

Rose: http://brainking.info/

rod03801: Glad its not just me

I just noticed that when I get a message telling me that a tournament game has ended, there is no link to the tournament in the message, nor is the tournament chart in the message. I looked back in old messages and they are gone from those messages now as well.

web.brainking......................musta gone OK then

Rose:Thanks!

Is there a separate board for feature requests?

Bernice: LOL...well...even if he didnt say "good game" i think i would...

Andersp: *cover eyes* and stop peeking then LOL

This user has me on his enemylist but i can see what he is doing here


Backgammon (rod03801 vs. Andersp)

but not if i click "online opponents"

doesnt make sense :)

and i couldnt send "good game"

Can pawns send smilies just by putting in the numbers with the * ?  

Artful Dodger:

Dream on...


Anywho, I just spoke with Reza, he sends his regards to you Fencer!

Czuch: Wishful thinking.
