 | | FSR: <sfod> So I would submit (e.g.) John Edward Pike as the player's name? |
|
Mar-18-26
| | FSR: <Messiah> got booted? I would take him over <The Integrity> any day of the week. <The Integrity> is an obnoxious Nazi who hacked the site and pollutes the Politics page with his awful offal. And he's not a premium member, so you don't even get $39 a year to put up with his incessant crap. But obviously some people like Nazis. |
|
| Mar-18-26 | | stone free or die: <FSR> the exact name doesn't matter if you include the
<ChessgamesWhiteID> and/or
<ChessgamesBlackID> PGN tags with the <pid>. (Sorry, but I advocated for the functionality, but not the verbosity of the tagging) |
|
Mar-18-26
| | FSR: <sfod> So the tag would be, say, [ChessgamesWhiteID "226839"] ? |
|
| Mar-18-26 | | stone free or die: In this case, yes.
Specifying the <CG> <pid> overrides the submitted PGN name and the uploader will add the game there, using the <CG> name. I got <Daniel> to add this functionality, I believe because I had two players with the exact same name active at roughly the same time. I think <JQF> was the only other person to utilize this till now (not sure though, I'm not as active in bio stuff as I once was). |
|
| Mar-18-26 | | stone free or die: The question occurs to me if the <FIDE id> is utilized for player identification? I know for certain that <Daniel> had the <CG> id as top dog, but I don't know if he established a hierarchy - <CG>, <FIDE>, <player name> for identification. Of course the uploader shouldn't use nonsense <id>'s, as I saw in a post that someone submitted a game with <FIDE> id = -1. Obviously, the uploader should simply ignore the id tag(s) in such case(s). . |

A good compromise might be to just upload Waldhausen Gordon's 11 games. |

 | | Check It Out: New behavior, possibly related to whatever CG was doing this morning to the site, after you click on the the engine analysis link, when you click on the "review analysis using Olga" link it no longer functions. |

 | | Susan Freeman: <CIO> There was some malware. It's being adressed Thank you for bringing this to CG's attention. |

 | | Willber G: With these weird things happening maybe it's time to revisit this: <Aug-07-22 George Wallace: Now about sock accounts, well, they might be necessary now that tyranny and censorship is back in power here at <CG>.I have a contractor from Bangladesh who screwed up a job I put him on. He wants to get more gigs from me, but he's in the dog house. I wouldn't even have to pay him anything, not a dime, for him to use a VPN and create 1000 accounts over the next year, every day, a few here and there. All I have to do is make it an addon to the next job and he'll do it for free. Different IP addresses every time (down to the Class C IP), different locations, different emails - very easy. Just sayin', it will take me ZERO time to adjust if I have to, or if I want to.> |

| | Susan Freeman: < Willber G: With these weird things happening maybe it's time to revisit this:> Intersting. Thank you for reminding me. |
|
| Mar-25-26 | | stone free or die: I'm curious - if <CG> bans a premium account user are their subscription fees returned? Perhaps on a pro-rated basis?
(Lifetime memberships would be based on actuary tables presumably!) Elsewhere on the site, there was a claim that the fee was forfeited, but somehow I doubt that. Not a pressing question - but I was wondering. |

| | OhioChessFan: Teacher, teacher, while you were gone, Johnny was shooting spitballs. |
|
| Mar-25-26 | | stone free or die: Gotta new name for <OCF> - the spitball kid. Stealthy lad. |
|
Mar-25-26
| | Willber G: <OhioChessFan: Teacher, teacher, while you were gone, Johnny was shooting spitballs.> Teacher, teacher, while you were gone, Georgey was threatening to burn the school down. |

 | | Stonehenge: I keep getting a lot of 403 Forbidden messages since yesterday. I can visit a few pages and then it starts all over again. Getting 403 Forbidden on every page. |

| | Stonehenge: From AI:
<When this error happens, resolves, and then reappears ("a few minutes and then again"), it is usually a sign of a temporary security block or a conflict between your browser data and the server's requirements.> |
|
| Mar-27-26 | | stone free or die: I got those 403 too. (And I thought I was special!) |
|
| Mar-27-26 | | stone free or die: FWIW - the 403's tended to come when looking for a particular post. The homepage seemed to load OK. (The 403's went away for me, but I just got one trying to make this post!) |

 | | stevemcd87: Re <403 forbidden>, We've made an update that should resolve this issue. Let us know if it persists. Sorry for the inconvenience |
|

| | Stonehenge: It seems to work now. But player pages don't seem to update anymore when I visit them (number of games, rating). And please delete the photo here, that's not Shiyanovsky but Zaitsev. Vladislav Shiyanovsky Only a few days ago I changed the photo of some Yugoslav player. We had a photo of Razuvaev there. Whoever is responsible should be fired. |
