< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 344 OF 446 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-06-23    petemcd85: <stone free or die: <pete> - quick question, but does a forum activation require admin intervention?> No you are correct it does not need admin intervention. Thanks <Z> <lostemperor: Hi chessgames. I renewed my premium membership for three years. Can you put my forum back up?> <lostemperor> click on the link "edit your preference" on your profile page and check the "activate your chessforum" check box, then click the "update your profile" button Jan-06-23    SChesshevsky: Just to let you know. The issue I mentioned yesterday related to Bing and Yahoo search engines has seemed to be resolved. When entering "chessgames", this site comes up as first choice again. Jan-06-23    MissScarlett: Does reactivating a forum revive the old one or start afresh? Jan-06-23    stone free or die: <MissScarlett: Does reactivating a forum revive the old one or start afresh?> I'm pretty sure (i.e. virtually certain) it revives the old one. Pretty logical business-wise -- much more incentive for re-upping. Jan-06-23    stone free or die: RE: Correcting scores and updating computer annotations V Mamoshin vs V Kolker, 1972 (kibitz #9) Jan-06-23    petemcd85: <stone free or die: RE: Correcting scores and updating computer annotations> It seems that we will need to delete and reanalyze the game when a game score changes. We will create a front-end feature to do this manually and eventually automate it. Jan-07-23    LoveThatJoker: <petemcd85> If all that is needed to delete this version and re-upload a corrected version is a new PGN of this Mamoshin game, then I am sure users <Messiah> or <MissScarlett> can do so! LTJ Jan-07-23    LoveThatJoker: <MissScarlett> has provided the solution. I have written it on your forum, <petemcd85>! Please help. LTJ Jan-07-23    MissScarlett: Who/what do you consider to be the mainstream right? Is funding it acceptable? Jan-07-23    Check It Out: <CG> I've noticed over the past months that <al wazir>'s use of figurine notation results in a lot of weird characters (lots of A with a diacritic, the tradmark symbol, etc), especially when viewed on a mobile. It makes his analysis unreadable. Oddly, other figurine user's analysis looks correct. Are you aware of this issue? Jan-07-23    Check It Out: <nok> Only spends <$money$> on products and companys he has personally vetted for "proper" political and economic conduct. For example, his computer and cell phone, his rent/mortgage, his banking needs, his food, etc. all come from left-leaning companies he approves of, with owners and board members who have acceptable political and ecomonic beliefs. He would not spend a dime on a company like <Chessgames> because the owner has righwing beliefs. However, he will still visit and use the website platform multiple times a day, every day, because he likes the product. We should all follow his example if we are to be good citizens of the world. /s Jan-07-23    stone free or die: <CIO> got a link to an example? Jan-07-23    Stonehenge: Come on CG, delete this photo: Emil Richter Jan-07-23    stone free or die: It should be a cakewalk, but I guess you have to say <"Pretty please with a crown on top!">. Pretty emotional though, we're all in tiers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee3... Jan-07-23    Check It Out: <move was ♘xâ™™> Jan-07-23    Check It Out: This is a copy paste with my cell from this post: Arencibia Rodriguez vs M Gongora Reyes, 1998 (kibitz #4) However, when I do a copy/paste from my desktop the same section looks like this: <move was ♘x♙> So, it looks like a mobile issue. Jan-07-23    stone free or die: <CIO> yes, it's some missing font characters that are part of unicode which your mobile OS doesn't handle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess... These are two bytes encoded characters - and will show up normally as black blocks if your browser doesn't have the fonts set loaded. I can't help but mention that it's a bit curious how <al w> switches back and forth from the unicode glyphs to the normal english piece names in his post. Arencibia Rodriguez vs M Gongora Reyes, 1998 (kibitz #4) . Jan-07-23    nok: <Who/what do you consider to be the mainstream right?> One which doesn't publicly support genocide, for starters. chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #35784) Jan-08-23    diceman: <nok: <Who/what do you consider to be the mainstream right?> One which doesn't publicly support genocide, for starters.> nok hates <genocide>. That's why he calls it <help>. Jan-08-23    nok: <CIO: he will still visit and use the website platform multiple times a day, every day, because he likes the product.> Not true. I dislike the product and have criticized it on technical, historical and other matters. But I like (part of) the community.
