Links (& emails) recognition !

The forum now recognizes links and emails. No tags or whatever, just enter the link & it will appear correctly... (for connected players, not from the home page)


Thibault de Vassal    (2006-08-22 18:15:39)
Private messages

I don't think a kind of webmail could be really useful... Emails could be displayed (player's choice) for connected players only. What do you think ?

Connected players

What is the "Connected players" list in the messages for and why does my name stay on it as others are changing, and the list of others in the tourney I am in do not show up in the list?


Jaimie Wilson    (2006-10-29 15:00:53)
Connected players

It is simply a list of players connected to F.I.C.G.S. at that particular moment in time, Isn't it? :))


Thibault de Vassal    (2006-10-30 08:56:55)
Connected players

That's right... Nothing more :)

Major update : challenges

Hello to all.

Now it is possible to challenge connected players for bullet / lightning / blitz games (advanced chess tournaments - note : please verify time controls, ie. blitz games are played in 2 hours + 2 hours / 40 moves) with White or Black.

Many improvements to come (when I find some time), to display ratings and so on... All feedback welcome.

Major update (may 2008)

Hello to all, a new update including :

- Regular tournaments with prizes (see thread "Free tournaments with prizes")

- Norms, titles and prizes are now announced by email.

- Players with Epoints are shown in the connected players list (My messages).

- Affiliate links : For each new player referred by your link (see My account) posted on the world wide web, 1 Epoint will be added to your account.

- Search games function improved : You can now search games by opening and by rating (White & Black)


All feedback welcome :)

Challenges

Hi Don, I'll work on it in a few weeks only :/ BTW players use the "challenge connected players" [All] option sometimes...

Invite your friends - tool

A new tool that may help to find many new players :)

You may now add your contacts as friends and invite them to join us at FICGS in a single click. See at the bottom of "My messages" page, above the connected players list.

Many features will be added soon to this tool !

Connected players :

hi - is it possible to have an icon next to the names of my opponents that are currently online? or a separate list of my opponents that are connected? - cheers


Scott Nichols    (2010-10-15 19:45:31)
Connected players :

WHILE we are at it, as if you don't have enough to do Thib, I would like an array of happy faces, (emoticons), we could choose from, something more fun than-:) :( :-0 etc. :)


Thibault de Vassal    (2010-10-20 12:43:13)
Connected players :

Hello Brian!

This issue was discussed a few months ago, a problem is that players may use this information to play only when their opponents are not connected.

Scott, you mean smilies in the forum?


Scott Nichols    (2010-10-20 19:44:48)
Connected players :

No Thib, something we could add to the chat to liven it up, :)


Don Groves    (2010-10-20 21:11:06)
Connected players :

Why would anyone want to play only when opponents are not connected? What advantage is there to that?


Don Groves    (2010-10-20 21:23:57)
Connected players :

Also, it is very easy to search the list of connected players to see if a particular player is online.


Thibault de Vassal    (2010-10-20 21:36:31)
Connected players :

The aim is either not to receive a reply too early, or to push the opponent towards the flag (I saw that already) during rapid games...


Don Groves    (2010-10-21 07:52:52)
Connected players :

During rapid games, won't each player be online all the time unless a connection problem?


Thibault de Vassal    (2010-10-21 10:31:12)
Connected players :

Sorry, I meant rapid "tournaments", not blitz games.


Don Groves    (2010-10-21 19:43:07)
Connected players :

Ah. For what it's worth, it's still very easy to scan or search the list of connected players if one wants to play that way.


Brian Williams    (2010-10-21 23:00:41)
Connected players :

sorry guys - I thought it would help to keep a closer eye on the games where my opponents were online ... and know when they disconnected - will search the list of connected players to see who is/isn't online ... cheers


Thibault de Vassal    (2010-10-29 13:56:36)
Freestyle Fun

Well, the connected players issue is for round 1 only, the third round should start at time. When it didn't happen, it was because I had connection problems, as far as I can remember... (but my connection works fine these days)

How to amend rating?

Thibault,
Your not listed in the 'Connected players' on the 'My messages' page. I can't find you in the name search on the 'My messages' page and I don't know you 'id' or how I would find that.
Perhaps you could send me a message that I could reply to?

About the players

ok i get it, and only we can play with connected players?, and other questions is possible to play correspondence chess?, regards.


Thibault de Vassal    (2013-11-13 23:31:38)
About the players

Well, you can play bullet/lightning games with connected players but you may use the waiting lists (standard tournaments) to play correspondence games.

The Help section may help as well.
