KGS updated...

Post by wineandgolover »

the clicks are back, baby!

Be careful though, your settings will be reset. So for example, I didn't get byo yomi beeps in my first game.

Thanks for fixing, wms!

I noticed a bug. Name ordering by rank won't be saved on exit. Every room has to be switched independently. Was this feature changed from "global" setting?

Another possible bug, in lecture style presentation when you have a list of games, the player names are no longer populated into the chat area when a game is selected. I was hoping the update would make the names and move times actually display in the player name fields, but it still just shows this for the first game.

Tsk. Be more generous of spirit. It's only been thirty-one months since version 3.5.11 was released, according to the public change log. Now we're at 3.5.20, although the seven minor versions in between don't appear to have been released.

All these players who like to say how much they want progress and bugs fixed and improvements and change - I wonder how many of them would contribute to a Kickstarter to pay for enough of wms' time to do all these things?

And I wonder how much money would it be worth to wms to do this full time?

A kickstarter for a well maintained Go server/program. I would donate for sure.

KGS Plus


Doesn't KGS Plus use the same program free uses do? I haven't considered KGS Plus because I didn't want to pay for something that did not appear to be continually updated. Not to mention the bad press I've read about admin abuse.

I am. :) My time is well spent on OGS, where the Admins are user-friendly, the developers work on constant progress and everything for free. :mrgreen:

Excuse my ignorance, what what exactly do you mean by clicks?
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Some people were unable to hear any sound when they played a stone.

Ah, yes. Forgot about that. I always have my speakers muted unless I am watching a video.

I like strength ordering on KGS - this has changed (and 'no chat' - but this was always 'chat' default; so I always change)
WMS has done (for me, at least) a great server - just little bits are not what I like, but I can accept it is trouble to change.
Always there-ish; universal-ish rank; happy play.
I know noone, so strength order is good. I have managed to log on to this thing to say this; so it is worthwhile for me to have a sticky ordering for KGS rooms (and; as I am here; I like no chats as it takes me ages to correct the words if I try to chat....)
Thanks, egb
