I agree for normal "short" downtimes, Stevie. But 30 hours isn't pushing their luck. I didn't mean suspend the time NOW, I meant they should be given 24 hours from the time the site comes back up, though.

I'm confused anyways. I wish the ponds had a time stamp saying exactly when you made yer bid.. LOL...

In MY ponds, it does look as though time DID stop. I have a 2 day per move pond that started at 8pm on whatever day it started, however, it NOW comes up at 5pm the next time, instead of 8pm, when of course each round should be starting at that same time of day.

But looking at this other's person's ponds, it is confusing me for some reason! LOL

Stevie: Not a problem for me since I'm only in 4+ day ponds, but i could see where some would have a problem with (for example) a 1 day pond where they did not have any chance to make a move.

I can remember awhile back when there were site problems, ponds were stopped - kind of surprised they were also not help up for an extra day this time also.

rod03801: ponds should be left as they are.. its been the same from the start... that suspended time doesnt cover them.. and they have an "auto move " feature anyways :o) so waht if someone else falls off the bottom, they obviously pushed their luck in the previous round ;op

Should ponds have continued in the downtime????? I know someone who fell in 3 ponds this morning, when the site wasn't even up. Can't time on those be stopped for a short time when the site goes down???? (Or at least stopped DURING the downtime???)


Did the time stop in the Fischer clock games??? I understand when it wouldn't for a brief downtime, but 30 hours is a lot of time! (I haven't checked mine yet..)

657: I spent a good 24 hours trying to get on before I finally found that page! It would be nice if it was updated more regularly, even if to say nothing is different. I actually did a search for brainking, and found a website with a few members from here discussing the problems. It was nice to see.

for using the Brainking info to report the status of the problem, it saved me from hours of frustration

Czuch Chuckers: It's in our time zone, GMT+01:00.

Fencer: Why does the time stamp when you reported it fixed say 1:31 Jan 2nd, but the next post is not until 16 something on Jan 3rd?

pauloaguia: Thanks. One step is gone! The next is to tell me where are the server news?

Way to go, Fencer! 30 long hours!

Pythagoras: Read server news ;)

Brainking is back, is back!

I have many games on red showing a negative time, that will end with a time out, if the time will be
back again. Since i can't play them right now and since there are many games with NO days off, can i safely play them tomorrow(at around 12-14 hours from now) without be in danger of losing them?
I mean until when the "time is suspended" will be ON?

emmett: About 30 hours 20 minutes.

emmett: go to www.brainking.info/

emmett: http://brainking.info/

I was hoping for an explanation as to why I could not access BrainKing for so long. I believe it was over 24 hours. Did I miss something? I'm sorry if this question is redundant. Anyway, thanks to whoever does answer.

Fixed.

emmett: You're welcome :O) The best way to learn is just to click on all the links and see whats there!

harley: Thanks harley. I reported it. I like to learn new things on this site. You just added to my understanding of this site.

This is the best place to report faults..

http://brainking.com/en/BugTracker

And you can keep track of when its fixed.

Marmite: Also, when playing a series of games, for instance a ten game match, I can no longer see the record of wins and losses with the highlighted player names indicating who won which matches. :(

wellywales: Just happened to me, a game was finished i wnet to view it and it said the game had been deleted.

All the archive games have disappeared

Yeah, they are still gone and after i finished game it was gone still from the tournament and the game was not avalable by clicking show game -button.

Hmmmm... now the links to the games still running are gone.. lol... (The "dashes" that take you to the game)

rod03801: Fixed.

Fencer, I noticed in tournament charts, games already completed, have disappeared from the charts.
Here is an example:

I'm sure it must have something to do with the archiving done today.

Eriisa: A decent translator!!! Sorry it was a late post! hahaha

InterTran

It had something to do with the NoScript extension. OK now!

Not for me from today.....?!?!

Pythagoras: It works without www too.

I've discovered why, hopefully fast!
The link of the green circle that indicates online players, is http://brainking.com/images/online.gif and if you insert it on Mozilla Firefox it doesn't display it. BECAUSE it needs www after http://
So when i insert http://www.brainking.com/images/online.gif everything is OK.
I don't know why as yesterday everything have been OK but now they are not!

Damn, in IE explorer it shows the small green circle but at Firefox it doesn't! Yesterday everything was perfect but now it isn't....... I have to search for a solution and an explanation

Pythagoras: It exists.

I can't see the small green circle near the players that indicates that are online, as the http://brainking.com/images/online.gif says it doesn't exist!

What this mean.....?

PS:Clicking the above link doesn't work for a reason i'm too lazy to exaplain. Just insert it by copying it to the address bar.

rod03801: If you don't want me to answer such phone calls, I can do it.

rod03801: yes.. that is a great idea! LOL

Hey Fencer, I think you should post your telephone number for us to call you in the middle of the night when Brainking goes down! LOL

Thanks! I knew I'd have to go in and manually start the games, but I'm looking to this to be a way to have games starting as members want them.

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.
