Today's Changes and Update on Premium Memberships
adamplumb
hi all, I made a small update today that should fix one of our more long-standing bugs, which is that people will not get the word chart at the end of the game, or they only get it sometimes. Let me know if you are still not seeing the word chart after games. FYI, you may need to do a refresh in the lobby and/or in the game in order to connect to the game or lobby.
<p>
One other small change is that now, instead of having two 5x5x4 rooms, I've changed one of the rooms to be a 5x5x5, meaning there the board is 5x5 and the minimum word length is five letters as opposed to four.
<p>
Here is a quick update on where things are with premium memberships. I'm the kind of guy that generally will come up with an idea and then immediately rush in and try to implement it, and that almost happened with the premium memberships idea. However, I realize that going forward with premium memberships is a big deal and affects more than just myself. So I've decided that what I'm going to do is continue to think about it and maybe spend some time making donating more streamlined and more visible instead. I'm not saying the idea is dead, but it is on hold for now. I appreciate everyone's encouragement and the ideas they provided regarding this issue.

I'd probably be willing to pay a low yearly fee to play this game, but regardless, good work so far. I do think even the free players would appreciate the ability to private message other players. If you could add one thing right, I think that would be it.

Little donation made
I really appreciate this site Adam, many many thanks.

I'd be happy to donate, but I haven't been able to get into a room today. Is this a temporary glitch? I rebooted my machine but that didn't change anything.

You need to hit the refresh button in the lobby and possibly also in the game room. If that doesn't work, you will need to manually clear your cache, which can be done in the Tools -> Internet Options section of IE.

You are doing a great job! Love that we have this game after the downfall of Tangleword, who would complain about this game.

I went ahead and donated. I really appreciate your efforts. Thank you.

P.S. Now can I have about 1500 pts as a bonus??? LOL

Thanks Adam for all you do. A suggestion: If you could provide a PO Box or address you feel comfortable posting for snail mail donations, it might help some that will not transact online. I found the address but not sure if you wanted it posted here.

Thanks.

I agree, I won't give my Credit Card account via the Internet but would gladly donate via a money order or check. Provide and address to make it happen.

I would certainly pay for a premium membership if I could have some reasonable expectation of being able to play. I joined this site right after Tangle bit the dust and was able to play successfully (technically, anyway) for a long time. However, I can no longer get through even one grid without the game (and chat) freezing up on me.

I've tried playing on a PC (XP, Windows 7), an HP mini and a MacBook (OS/9 & 10) to no avail. I really miss the game and folks I've played with in the past.

Thinking it might be a browser issue, I've tried IE, Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome with no luck.

I posted my dilemma on the forum, but have not received any replies. Maybe this is a better venue for a response?

Thanks,
welki

Thank you for bringing back the 5x5x5!! I was waiting cause after everyone wanted the second 5x5x4 no one ever used it. ~ sleepwalks

Thanks for bringing back the 5x5x5 room. It has always been my favorite.

Oh, Adam!!!!!!!!!!!
What about a 1 minute 4 letter room????????????

Adam,
What the hell happened? It is July 8 and I can't get into the game? Is it my browser? I was
playing earlier today and nothing was amiss. Please advice.

Mooska

thank you for the site and all your hard work
