Any problems please post here.
Woot!

IE7, player doesn't launch when opening any game. just dead white space. message box is there tho.
Hmm OK same problem CK66 has - I'm working on it, just building an XP IE7 image.
On my test PC it works when I turn off the Chat Bar - note there are two chat settings, you need this one: This option allows you to disable the chat bar
This chat feature is amazing, tom!
And, lo, the chat function gave death to the forum thread conversation...
I think the only thing I find sometimes inconvenient is when I am taking a turn, working on the right side of the board, and the list of new players online pops up and I end up chatting with some stranger instead of transferring my armies...
what if the notifcations that are always popping up were limited to people we have marked as friends?
i agree with Gimli
Sorry, can't be done - you can choose to turn off that feature entirely but that's about it (it's on the settings page).
no worries, I am getting better at remembering when i log in. how did you work around the previous issue? i thought it was causing major site lag or something...
Bought a bigger server!
Out of curiosity...mind sharing what kind of hardware you're running?
Always curious what the backend of this site runs on.
4 x 2.53 GHz Hyperthreaded Cores
8 MB L3 Cache
1333 MHz FSB
8 GB 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
500 GB Serial ATA Storage in RAID 1
Curious, when chat is 'minimized' (i.e. closed down so all you can see is the talk bubble), does the talk bubble change to indicate that someone sent you a message?
