BrainDen Forums are Back (sort of)
rookie1ja replied to rookie1ja's topic in Comments and Suggestions
Going through thousands of threads manually, creating titles for them and assigning them into proper section is, unfortunately, not manageable. That's why let me suggest to focus only on live threads (eg. solution not yet given, game still not finished etc.) - anybody can point out such topics including their title and proper section. I will then handle those threads. Thanks. -
Hi there, this is rookie1ja, admin of BrainDen Brain Teasers Forums. Note that the forums were not available since January 2012 up till now (April 27) due to severe physical disk damage. Since then I was trying to retrieve as much info as possible. Hosting provider, external data recovery firm and forum helpdesk were all trying to help, however, the process was long and only small steps were being made. After months of chasing, refusing insufficient data, insisting on giving it second/third and many other tries we have started to get more and more. To cut the long story short, external data recovery firm (and hosting provider) got more data out of the disk after I did not accept what they delivered the first time and forum helpdesk were real magicians to get that minimum to work somehow. Good News: The forum is more or less working. Bad News: Not all could have been rescued. You may notice several issues: 1. all forum titles are lost (fortunately posts in them should be OK) 2. all threads are in single forum section "New Logic/Math Puzzles" 3. all members who have not posted might be lost 4. all other members are probably existing but their email is lost and there might be issues with log in Old members that would like to continue with their old username, pls send me (admin@brainden.com) the following data and I will manually restore your old account. 1. username 2. password 3. email What to do next? 1. There are many more issues and you can report them along with your comments/suggestions in this thread. 2. If you could notify other former members, we could slowly start to rebuild the community. Thanks a lot for your patience and I hope we can make the site work again. -rookie1ja

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hopefully you got my mail wishing Happy Holidays as well. Enjoy the Den

A) Not yet, however, would be great to have one. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to study how to create one. B) I can change the username on individual basis after mutual agreement. However, I do not recommend it because especially older members are known by their usernames and its change might be misleading for other members who follow their posts from time to time.

I advise to stay on-topic. SMV, welcome to BD and enjoy the puzzles/riddles

Click on the dot/star to the left of the title and not the title itself if you want to be taken to the 1st post you have not read BTW, star means that you posted in the thread.

I watched every single post a few moments after it was posted Thanks Thalia and Molly Mae for your guidance.

Note that BD forum was upgraded to the latest version. 1. Log out - click on "Sign out" in the top right hand corner. I have just tried and it worked for me. Pls let me know any details in case you still experience the issue. 2. Spoilers - what exactly does not work? I can create and open the following spoiler. Pls could you try the same. 3. Upreping - I just uprepped MissKitten's post. Can you try to uprep the mine. 4. Drop down menu - it works for me, eg. when I click on my nick in the top right hand corner and go to my settings. 5. Change Theme - pls use the standard "IP.Board" theme (mobile devices have another theme). So 2 themes only. I assume deleting cookies/cache and refreshing the site should resolve all issues. Let me know if it does not help. Thanks.

Regarding search box, make sure that you search "Forums" and not "This Topic" or "This Forum". By default, when you are in a thread the search box is set up to search "This Topic" - you have to click on it and change it to "Forums". The only issues should be with short words (3 characters or less) or stop words. If you still experience issues with search pls start a new thread or send me the details via PM. Thanks.

Hi spicetrader, good question. 1. click on your king (eg. on E1 if you are white) 2. click on the 2nd square to the right (G1) or to the left (C1) Of course, only if you are allowed to castle. Enjoy BrainDen

I have already talked to the member downvoting in this thread. Let me know if you spot such behavior again. BTW, anybody can downvote, however, if you agree on some game rules then it's a matter of etiquette to respect the game rules (it's not breaking the forum rules). Enjoy the game
