Let me inform you about the latest changes I have made in BrainDen:
1. forum index - categories reduced from 4 to 3 (2 were merged into "Old Brain Teasers" and several subforums were formed in new "Puzzles and Riddles" forum - that should reduce distraction on forum index page, my favorites don't take much space)
2. forum icons on forum index page were edited to read "BD" instead of default "IPB"
3. I have just released Chinese version of non-forum pages (notice flags in top right hand corner) - check http://brainden.com/chinese/index.htm
4. I plan to release Russian version in March 2009 - many thanks to Prime for proofreading and translation
5. my Google gadgets (3 out of 4) are already in Chinese as well - you can add them and then check http://www.google.com/ig?hl=zh-cn
6. hidden forums for Mafia games - 1 forum visible for selected goodies only and 1 forum visible for selected baddies only
7. new Homework Help forum

I hope you like it. There are still many things to improve. I review all Comments and Suggestions and I am sure you still have a few good new ideas. Just start a new thread in this forum.

Thanks.

all awesome fixes, especially #1 and #6 As for #2, it doesn't seem to work for me, but it's not a big deal


edit ~ nvm I see now! It's IPB if it's unread, but once read it switches to BD. Cool

further changes:
1. email notifications are working again - sendmail version got unexpectedly stuck and after long discussions with hosting provider it was replaced for the latest sendmail version and it should not happen again (though nothing is impossible - like gmail outage for several hours today)
2. using new Feedburner javascript for RSS feed - note that this change should make the latest riddle show faster with smaller delays
- latest riddle submitted to the forum is visible on BrainDen.com - Brain Teasers, BrainDen.com - Logic Puzzles and the last 15 puzzles on BrainDen.com - New Riddles
- latest riddle is also visible in "Puzzles and Riddles" Google gadget
- RSS feed (15 latest puzzles) added in canvas view of "Brain Teasers" Google gadget ... once you add it, click on "Maximize" in its top right hand corner and you should see the gadget on whole page including 15 latest puzzles
3. I have also redirected the New Puzzles RSS feed to http://feeds2.feedbu...ncom-NewPuzzles (Feedburner operated by Google offers good statistics on subscribers)

Sounds excellent! I tried everything I could think of, to get this PC from locking-up and forcing me to cut-off the power completely, to be able to resume progress with anything. I can not rid myself of firefox, that may be the cause of this problem. I think it's a virus of a sort.
Does anyone have a solution to this calamity???
It usually happens when the user does not use for 5 minutes, or less.

This is minor, but how about a "reply all" function on PMs? It would make hosting games with teams easier for sure.

Oh also, how about name recognition in the "carbon copy" box for PMs?

YEAH! That would be fantastic.

And congrats on the 1000 Rookie!
