rod03801: Maybe an option to see the game DB's only in my language like there is one for fellowships? But then again, I use the portuguese version of the site but would still like to see the english DB's (and maybe a couple more). So maybe an option for favourite languages or something?
And there is no visual hint that those flags are clickable. Everyone that has been here long enough will try to click them to access the DB, but newcomers might not get that idea... the link should be on the numbers, or a small message like "board (click flags)". It's just not very intuitive the way it is now, in my opinion.
Nothing is really wrong with it.. And what paulo said is true.. but I unfortunately don't speak any of those languages, and will never click to see what's on those discussion boards anyways. I wish I could though! lol..
Fencer: Well, probably what rod means is that "With more and more languages being added to the site, it won't look nice to display (4/12/3/8/4/9/2) or similar numbers :-)"

Fencer, it seems like that is starting to happen on the game boards now? I notice I am told how many new messages the Czech discussion boards have, when I am playing that game..(at the top of the game board) ..
For example, when playing Backgammon, at the top, it tells me that the Czech Backgammon discussion board has 215 new messages..
Fencer: Is there any chance to get an option to show the "sub" boards listed under the main board - kind of how it was for about 12 hours the other day? I kind of liked that setup, but of course make it an option for the people who do not like that setup.
Hrqls: thanks for helping me understand this..... I certainly can loose without the aid of timing out..... is there a good reason not to "tick" the automatic vacation day box... I did "tick" it, and now hopefully a vacation day may appear in my life somewhere in the future, but this seventy hours a week for the past, oh my, twenty years does take a toll
I've got all languages ticked on my settings page so I can see F/s boards that are in other languages as some of the ones I need to read are still in Czech.
Yet, it's not showing that there is a new message on these boards.
streetrodder: when you set a fixed vacation day (in your settings page) then no game will time out on that day (i think it behaves like a weekend day)
if you have automatic vacation turned on .. then you dont have to set a fixed vacation day .. but in case a game would time out on a certain day .. that game will get 24 hours added to its time .. while 1 vacation day is substracted from your remaining total .. if another game would time out on that day as well .. then it will cost no extra vacation day
i think with fixed vacation days all games will have a day added when their period goves beyond that day ... with automatic vacation days only the games that would time out exactly on that day will get 24 hours extra on that day
so when you are sure you will time out on that day you can best use a fixed vacation day as it will help in your other games as well
only use the automatic vacation days for unsuspected problems

do I understand this correctly, that if you have vacation days listed, that they will be used automactically rather than loosing games by timing out.... simply if you are going to loose by timing out will a vacation day be used as long as they are available.... and can I assume that using one vacation day will stop the time outs of all games for that day.... just a new guy askin probably old questions
Hrqls: lol how about 'youre welcome' then? Still spelt correctly but with out the proper punctuation marks.....I miss out the marks quite often when Im typing on here aswell
If anybody gets unwelcome messages from another member, the first thing to do is place them on your blocked users list. If they continue to contact you through another name, or on public boards, game notes etc - contact a global moderator.
Lamby: lol ... i always type 'your welcome'... but not because its a mistake ... just because i dont like to use ' or other 'special' characters except the dot :)
(and simple smileys)

I also have gotten a message from someone that I have never spoken to...it isnt offensive or anything , but I don't want to have anything to do with said person.
Jules: I have been getting the same treatment to. I'd be willing to bet it's the same person. Perhaps we can contact Fencer and have him check the message logs and then remove said person from the site for violating the membership agreement?
Cranky Franky: Because they want to. That's why I feel that if someone is blocking you they should in return be blocked from PM'ing. It would then stop a silly practice which can be time consuming. I have to check my inbox to see if something has come up that needs my attention.
Another word loads of people keep spelling wrong is "You're welcome" short for "You are welcome" instead they spell it "Your welcome" which would mean "My welcome"
It's a real pet hate of mine!
Hi. I was away for a while but am back again at this site I enjoy so much. I have been trying to pay for a knight, but the site, probably wisely, is reluctant to accept American money.
Anyway, I am struck by the decline in vigor of the posts on the message sites, a result - well intentioned, I'm sure - of what seems over-vigorous cencorship.
Frankly, many of the posts that I have read for a few weeks are nicy-nice mush, tedious and almost unreadable.
What's wrong with some honest flaming - after all, it is a game art-form in its own right - and it seems odd that it is forbidden on a game site?
Well, I expect an opinion - hopefully unedited - from Mr. Danoschek, whom I confess I have sometime collaborated with in this most interesting sport.
Best to you all.
hehe i have the same thing when i am typing a text in dutch .. i often type too fast and type down an english word which starts with the same letters ... even when it has a totally different meaning :)
Yea... that's me. I was just posting something on another site, reading through it before I hit "post", and there is was again - "multiply" instead of "multiple" :-)

No, everyone has their own "blind spots" for certain words that we have, out of habit, never corrected ourselves. In my case, it is the word "every" which I am constantly spelling as "very" and "position" which I nearly always spell as "postion".
With you, I have seem "multiply" occur in many, many posts.
