Why am I not on the list with nearly 1500 posts?

It is a huge conspiracy to keep you out so others will have a chance to win....

Honestly, I don't know why you are missing, I cut and pasted from the membership role sorted by number of post. Then I alphabetized the list to make it easy to see if your name was on the list. Surely we will add you. B)

Actually, this is very interesting question. Do you know that if you sort members by post, your name does not show up in the 1500 list? If you search for the user name under members for the user named keylime, your name does not show up. Members whose name begins with the letter "K" (capital or not), your name does not show up.

I can only find you as a member if I use administrative tools (which other users do not have access too). This is strange. I wonder if you have choosen some option to hide yourself, or if this related to your identity as part of the FD team. I may remove your FD team designation shortly to see if that makes you appear.

Not all these names are the same as BBO knicknames. Second, names that are too long (like enormouschicken) seems to cause problems if you include it in an include list for tournaments.




enormouschicken????? really?????

Ben,

I checked my settings and all; can't seem how I'd be blocking anything strange. It's a conspiracy man...! :P lolol

Hi,

I would say Saturday, ...

Espesially if one plans to run a long
tournament.

With kind regards

I tried to register several times.
The message I get is “ Sorry,this is a private tournament.It is not open to the public.Please contact the tourney host for details.”
I contacted the host.She replied that I should be able to register.I can't
Can someone help?

That is funny, since your name is on the list (last name). I suspect this means an illegal name still exist in the list somewhere. I believe if the list has an illegal name (too long I think), it doesn't work and nobody can sign up, or at least nobody listed after that name.

Jilly can you check the list twice to find out who is naughty? Once zasanya can register then the list must be ok... this is a good test case.

It is difficult to find a compromise between America, Europe, Asia and Australia for a starting time.

I make a "test proposal" to discuss...

Saturday, 5 pm New York Time

2 pm Los Angeles
20.00 Rio
22.00 London
23.00 Paris, Warsaw
01.00 Moscow
9 am. Sunday in Sydney
6 am. Singapore :P
