https://brainking.com/ro/Board?bc=1 Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future. ro https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200219 The automatic suspension of the timeout process doesn't work in all cases - I lost game Backgammon (Aganju vs. Border C Rule) on time while BK was down. I guess it's because of the specific setting for that game. Tue, 03 Mar 2026 18:28:34 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200218 In about 15 minutes, a hardware diagnostic will take place, which will last approximately 30–60 minutes. During this time, BrainKing will not be available. Tue, 03 Mar 2026 09:42:42 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200217 Hello, In fact, longer outages are something we need to get used to. As I wrote, BrainKing is gradually deteriorating, and recently there have also been issues with the hardware it runs on. I will, of course, try to keep the site alive until the end of this year, but I cannot guarantee it. You have to be prepared for the possibility that any day could be the last. If there are any significant developments, I will inform you on the page linked from the latest news. https://filip.rachunek.com/en/BrainKing Mon, 02 Mar 2026 17:09:05 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200216 beach: Tyne: Perhaps Fencer might answer here and let us know? His post on January First was about keeping BrainKing in this form until December 2026 Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:11:34 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200215 Walter Montego:  it been happening since Friday.  The site was up on Saturday for about 2 hours, same yesterday.  It just came  up about 8 am (est) today  It has been down a really long time now when it goes down.  I thought sadly that it wad dies for good over the weekend.  We shall see,  Mon, 02 Mar 2026 15:17:51 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200214 Walter Montego: I thought the owner said he's not maintaining it since it's ending Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:16:57 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200213 I am wondering what is happening to the site with these recent downtimes happening. Does anyone know what's causing the problems? Are the problems fixed, or will this recur in a few hours? Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:08:06 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200199 Hrqls: As it often said in similar situations; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Tue, 27 Jan 2026 18:59:36 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200198 Walter Montego: when it is working .. do not touch it anymore! :-) Tue, 27 Jan 2026 17:50:21 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200197 Hrqls: Except for the hard refresh ctrl-F5, I did those other things to no effect a coulpe of days ago. Though I have BrainKing on this browser (Waterfox), I just now loaded it onto the other browser(Firefox) and BrainKing seems to be working fine on it now. You got me what's going on with it. I might speculate that the help I received away from here somehow reset some of this. My other browser was accidentally completely blanked and refreshed yesterday, and I have the feeling this might have done something as you suggest in your post. When it gets later in the day, I will call to let him know about this development. In the meantime I will keep things as they are. Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:00:41 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200196 Walter Montego: you could try clearing your history or your cache or your cookies i assume the images taken from your cache where something went wrong so if you clear it than the site will reload them you can also try to press ctrl-F5 to do a hard refresh of the page Tue, 27 Jan 2026 14:39:56 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200194 Aganju: You might be right about the DNS. It seems it is something wrong with the browser and only when I use it to go to BrainKing. As a work around, I am using a different browser just for BrainKing. It seems to be working fine, so my problem is solved in an indirect way. Why BrainKing no longer will load correctly on the other browser is being studied. I was told it has something to do with page rendering. The mystery is why is it only affecting BrainKing, and not the other sites. I do not know very much about computers or the workings of the internet. Thank you for the help. If it is found out why this happened, I'll report it back here to let you know about it Tue, 27 Jan 2026 06:35:30 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200193 Walter Montego: sounds like a potential DNS issue - the images & icons come from a different address. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your network, or try using another network, just for a minute. Tue, 27 Jan 2026 03:41:33 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200192 rod03801: It seems that is how it is with my opponents which leads me to believe something has changed on my computer. I have no idea about what that might be. Other sites I visit work just fine. Tue, 27 Jan 2026 02:44:08 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200191 Walter Montego: Everything looks normal on my end. Tue, 27 Jan 2026 01:37:30 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200189 The game boards do not load on a game page. The little colored dots by people's names no longer show. Instead a square with small rectangles appears where the little colored dot usually is. Same thing with link symbols on this page next to people's names in the posts. Is this BrainKing's problem, or something wrong on my end of it? I appreciate any help on this. This site is unusable for me to play games. If you need more information from me to help diagnose or fix the problem, just ask or post here. The message system still appears fo work, though there's no little colored dots or link connections any more. Maybe I can take a screen shot to show what it looks like? This started two days ago. Mon, 26 Jan 2026 22:51:28 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200177 MadMonkey: thanks Ian !! I will also change the text on top of this board to link to that board and have a better description .... bit busy atm and very low in energy ... so not much inspiration .. but soon will :-) btw brettspielnetz can be used in english and nederlands as well.It has translations for german and english and dutch (just like brainking).You can chose which language you want to use when you register (free) Wed, 21 Jan 2026 16:30:54 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200172 I have just updated brainkings OTHER GAMES SITE Board Feel free to post anything relating to other games sites you know of, discuss and see what come up I am sure we can find some good ones Wed, 21 Jan 2026 14:32:18 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200163 Please don't stop creating tournaments! We still have a year to have fun and hope for a solution. Thank you so much. Fri, 09 Jan 2026 15:12:59 CET https://brainking.com/ro/print/Board?bc=1&ngi=1200150 I recently started playing again at www.zooescape.com. It is a turn based site. Absolutely no bells and whistles. Just backgammon. The do host monthly tournaments, which are okay. And they have a pretty good ladder program. But not much else. Sun, 04 Jan 2026 02:48:16 CET
