  stevemcd87: <Remember that issue with duplicate games caused by the <Nbd2> (and maybe <Nbd7>) quirk? I believe you sorted it, but such games still regularly crop up as duplicates. Is there any way to trawl the DB for them? A mass deletion could then solve the problem.>

<MissS> Sorry for the delay
Please provide the PGN and the Duplicate Game when you experience the issue again.
I believe the bug is when the PGN includes <Nbd2> but the Duplicate Game includes <Ne2> or <Nge2>.
Once we confirm that is the case, We'll work on a script to find the games with the issue and update them accordingly.

  MissScarlett: What news, if any? Is she still working in the field of chess? Is she aware there's a part-time, modestly-remunerated role at <cg> for the taking?

  Susan Freeman: <MissS> No news. No comment. Just a thumbs up. Very concise. I am not aware of a part-time opening.
Are you reaching into your own back pocket for this? lol

Are you sure it wasn't a middle finger?

  Stonehenge: Another DDoS attack?

Site is very slow at times today.

Any correlation with recent events on <Rogoff>?

  stevemcd87: < Stonehenge: Another DDoS attack? >

Yes, started yesterday. We've been trying to stay on top of it but they are persistent.

<stone free or die: Any correlation with recent events on <Rogoff>?>

Anything specific? I'm not on there much

Nov-07-23  stone free or die: <<s87> Anything specific? I'm not on there much>

Just <bippy>'s being back.

Nov-08-23  Messiah: I ask you once again: please remove <perfy> from my ignore-list.

  Susan Freeman: <Messiah><I ask you once again: please remove <perfy> from my ignore-list.> It is being discussed. ( CG is trying to elevate above the kidergarten level. )
Nov-09-23  stone free or die: Daniel never intended the ignore-list to be administered by administrators.

Also - I got a "posting too much" message after this:

Kenneth Rogoff (kibitz #34913)

Look at my posting history from this afternoon. I'm handling a lot of threads yes, but it's mostly quick posts to wrap up or thank contributors.

In other words - I think your algorithm needs tweaking.

Nov-09-23  stone free or die: If you need an example design study, I suggest looking at machine-gun multi-posting on a single forum.

Not to name names, but as a reference point:

Kenneth Rogoff (kibitz #34901)

Five posts on a single page - basic ad nauseam content-less trolling.

Normally I wouldn't complain too much (after all, that's what the ignore-list is for), but since being targeted I hope the algorithm is reviewed, both for fairness and efficiency.

Regards.

  Check It Out: <sfod> is referring to <The Integrity>, another <Big Pawn/George Wallace> sock puppet. I thought he was banned from CG.
Nov-10-23  stone free or die: Did someone change the <Advanced Search> function recently?

I always used to search for <Bang> and find this player in the returned list:

Bang

He(?) no longer appears. Could that be changed back?

  Stonehenge: The game is now here:

Keene vs E Bang, 1965

If a player has zero games, you cannot search for that player. I think that should change too.

  Stonehenge: Another example is Argue.

  Susan Freeman: The mandatory ignore is being lifted tomorrow. On a fitting day, I might add.
Nov-11-23  stone free or die: <Stonehenge> thanks for that - it just hadn't occurred to me that Bang got identified.

I liked it a little better when I was squatting on an ambiguous player's page.

It's an imperfect world we live in (though <stonehenge> makes it a little less imperfect everyday it seems!).

Nov-11-23  stone free or die: Another annoyance:

I posted (or tried to) these two posts:

Anderssen - Morphy (1858) (kibitz #30)

Anderssen - Morphy (1858) (kibitz #31)

The 2nd got flagged as "flooding the forum".

I know you mean well, but...

Nov-12-23  Messiah: <Susan Freeman: The mandatory ignore is being lifted tomorrow. On a fitting day, I might add.>

Eagerly waiting for it! But now I am ordering some Burger King, to be less stressed.

  FISHEGGS: It would be nice to have the option of using
descriptive notation (at least for personal use)as well as algebraic epecially for puzzles,game of the day, guess the blunder, etc. Just a click on a box of some sort and you would be changed over to one or the other etc. Thanks
Nov-12-23  stone free or die: <l2ufisheggs> That's an interesting request, partly because it's an unexpected one.

I tried to find such a converter on the web without much success (it might be out there, if one digs more - I did find a non-working one due to Java being out of date).

Then I thought, let me try SCID (my graphical and db interface). It handles a variety of algebraic styles, so why not give it a try?

I did.

Trouble is, <1.P-K4 P-K4> was enough to crash SCID.
