    History/Geography Trivia

    I don't care. Sure, we could can this thread and the Who Am I thread and start up a new one just called Trivia, so we can include sports and entertainment. That might keep it going longer. I'd like to keep it real though, The Question Thread seemed to get kind of silly.

    neither, there is no option to automatically clear cookies, at shutdown or any other time. You have to log out.' I would tend to agree with lala123, although there is probably a little more to it. Like I said, I have other VBB forums that do not seem to show the problem with anywhere near the...

    Checking and logging user name in database tables...

    can we assume that you have the ability or the know-how to store information into a database on a basic level? Have you established that your html form is POSTing to the script properly? This can be established using the echo command on the variable. I don't have an answer for you, but if...

    If a nuclear World War III were to break out tommorow, what would you do?

    I have a close friend who is very self reliant, with a good practical knowledge of science and mechanics. You could drop him in the middle of the wilderness and he would adapt. If I thought there was half a chance of survival, I'd try to stick with him.

    extracting from a string

    Garren if you are still interested in a direct export of pgn into mySQL, the following software has been recommended to me by knowledgable people as doing a good job of that. I haven't used it myself yet, but I'll probably check it out, as I am doing a similar thing as you for my own chess...

    X10 Chess games

    At the moment(after White's 8th move) I see that ichwar(black) has a slight lead in development and also some initiative (has me somewhat on the defensive at the moment) I(white) however have better pawn control of the central squares, which is more of a long term advantage. It's pretty even I...

    History/Geography Trivia

    neither. The Who Am I thread is specifically about people and questions are phrased in a certain way, but I suppose most of the questions could just as easily have been asked here. I'd rather keep this thread and ignore or delete the Who Am I thread.

    Who Am I?

    It was indeed Albert Einstein. As an aside, I can recommend an excellent little book by Alan Lightman, called Einstein's Dreams. It is a series of short chapters, each one representing a dream that Einstein might have had. A basic understanding of his theories will help the reader to...

    Definitely worth keeping in mind. But let ichwar and I play a little bit more with what we have, before we call in the techies. :)

    X10 Chess tournament

    1. it's maximum of 15 moves shown in the jpeg. there's only so much space. ichwar and I can scroll because we have the actual program :) 2. Cool well count me in. I'd like to see us come up with something too. One possibility in the short term is that in addition to a URL that shows a...

    X10 Chess tournament

    There in lies the rub. in my opinion it's too much work for the players. AT least with the program we are using, you can see the text of about 15 moves, so people can recreate the game on their own sets if they really want to. Maybe we can provide a new URL every 15 moves or so. It's good...

    I like that idea of leaving it at the start of the thread, I have place a copy of the img in my first post in this thread, ichwar can do the same in his post, I'll work out the photobucket details with ichwar. Soon I expect I will remove the extraneous images from other posts in this thread...

Anyways, I experience a lot of video curruption, both in the viewing area and on the tab bar. I've had this before. Anyways it looks like I'll be sticking with...

    X10 Chess tournament

    The software ichwar and I are using is single file executable, very small, that requires no installation. I have looked into ideas like the ones you described in the rest of your post, without success, maybe someone else will have better luck. In the meantime this sort of thing where we update...
