He's been banned long enough for his offense, hasn't he?

Tuesday: LOL, I'll check the mailbox again in the morning.

You guys bring up a good point. I kinda liked the cloak mode, because people would question where I was going or who I was talking to, and I didn't feel it was their business. But if people are offended by it or don't like it because they can't see if I'm moving my games with them, then I can understand that. I'll remove mine.

Walter Montego: I agree with you Walter..i dont care what "monkey business" people have but its nice to know if someone is "shooting back" moves in a game with me, especially if i am ready to log off :)

Pedro Martínez: You know, that's not a bad idea. The thing is, I really don't care if I know what others are doing. I wish this cloak mode option would have never came into being in the first place. I do like the suggested feature of someone that's using the cloak mode being unable to see what us uncloaked people are doing. I would also like to be able to shut off where people are located on the discussion boards. I like being able to see where someone is while I'm viewing a game I have with them, but I'd just a soon not see it while viewing the discussion boards and it slows the loading of my pages too.
My feature request will be to get rid of this cloak mode.

Pedro Martínez: That's just childish.

I would like to let everybody know that I am putting everyone who uses the cloak mode on my enemies list. If you don't want me to see what you're doing, you won't see me at all.

Dolittle: as long as it isn't just my imagination! lol

tazman7474: I am having the same problems.
It started last night.

is anyone having problems with the battleboats plus? i try to select a shot and the board disappears. i get a message to choose another piece, when i click on it the board comes back. but without the shot i picked before!

Phew, I thought I had been in a coma, or something. :)

BuilderQ: Nice work around! I like it :)

BIG BAD WOLF: When the problems are fixed, I'll do a global time correction. Hopefully.

rabbitoid: From time to time, database servers do what they want, not what I want :-) Moreover, one network card is probably damaged.

is 1 January 1970, which is traditionally day 0 on all unix based systems. Fencer! you're caught! you're not using windows. good boy...

When the ponds are "turned back on", may I request that 24/48/72 ... hours are added to each pond rather then just letting ALL the ponds go to the next round at the same exact time.

This will help in a couple ways.

1) The server will not have 400+ ponds going to the next round at the same time.

2) Someone who has a lot of ponds will not have the same time-out time on almost all their ponds.

-12915 days 23 hours uh...interesting to have that much time left to move a game lol
j/k...I know it's a glitch

Marfitalu: thankyou Mar

would someone please explain what it means if under the time left where the days are, it has -12915 days 21 hours in red?? I have never seen that before. thanks

Good job Liquid

Only downside I found so far: I can't tell 'fake onlines' appart from the rest. What I call a fake online is someone that is on the main page, with autorefresh on, but hasn't moved from there for at least 15min. So they appear to be online when in fact they are somewhere else...
Last night I caught a usually 'fake onliner' in cloak mode... I couldn't tell if she was just with autorefresh on or if I should stick around a few minutes to wait for her to move (I payed off to stick around )

Maybe auto-refresh shouldn't count for your online status?

One of the biggest problems in the past on this site is people knowing too much about what others are doing. This is a huge step forward to combatting confidentiality issues.
Well done.

If you sort the "Who is online" list by "Action," I note that those players using cloak mode are scattered throughout the list. I guess they are still ordered according to their last action, even though that action is hidden. So, this is a workaround to find out what cloaked players are doing! :)

I like the cloak feature because it tells me who is online without having to know everything they are doing!

Yes.. first new feature I have ever hated..
Oh well! :-)

i don't like the cloak thing either, sometimes i like to know if people are playing me back etc , TUT lol

LMAO@Harley ;o)

Some of you need watching.

some of us have idiots running around watching our every move

Chessmaster1000: you can see what i'm doing i've nothing to hide

Chessmaster1000: LOL! Just in case you wanna see what I am doing, I'll turn this cloak thing off!

You know for a super-curious person like me, this is killing me.........

Chessmaster1000: What some are very eager to see!

Damn "cloak mode".......! What you people have to hide???????????

pauloaguia: Yea, that compare is slightly out-of-date (not much).

Also need to add that Playing & Creating Ponds is a member only feature also.

I know it says so on the FAQ, but shouldn't it also say here that cloak mode is a feature for paying members only?
Just so when people weight it out between paying or not they know exactly what they're (not) buying...

Luke Skywalker: Yes, but isn't it weird that it always says the same thing???
*viewing online players*

R2D2: Thanks. I found a workaround. I can always look up what I'm doing on this page: http://brainking.com/game/PlayerList

Marfitalu: provisional BKR is shown in italics

Luke Skywalker: I'm here to serve you. You are browsing main page

Luke Skywalker: I also want to know what I am doing.
??????????
Don't you..............?

Fencer:Fencer could,,,,,,,,,well that's a dumb way to ask it, because I now know there isn't anything you can't come up with, could you please put when we're on the potty, so people won't be IMing me when I am so unconcerned at that particular moment?

Luke Skywalker: A friend of mine wants to develop an AI robot to participate in discussion boards. Then it will tell you what you are doing :-)

I'm confused. I also want to know what I am doing.

Yeah OK, probably you are both right, but for the moment i feel dizzy.....
Too many information around.....

I'm currently finding it annoying also to see what a person is currently doing in the message.

BUT - I also found pictures of the players annoying at first.

I also found the "edited by" message annoying at first.

I also found the bold "reply to" annoying at first.

... but I learn to like the rest, so I'm sure it will only take a little while for me to get use to this also.

Chessmaster1000: Your brain can handle more than this.
