Vint.ee portal update on Wednesday, 04.03.2009

Hello, Tonight (04.03) at 20:00 the vint.ee portal will be updated. Due to the updates, the portal may be disrupted from 20:00 (approximately two hours). More details about the updates will be provided when the new functionality has been successfully integrated into the production environment! Best wishes, Vint.ee Team

* Remember me checkbox at the login window - if you use your own computer and don't want to constantly log in to Vint, you can check the box when logging in. NB! It is definitely not recommended to do this behind shared computers (public internet points, schools, etc.). * New chess design - anyone who wants to can now play chess in Vint with a different design. We are waiting for feedback from chess players on what they think of this design! Also read on the same topic Chess forum. * Improvements to invitation windows in board games. From now on, the settings selected by the opponent are visible in a different color (no longer in a gray selection box like before). The talk about invitation windows in the forum. * More accurate timekeeping. You no longer have to worry about a slow internet connection - the time of a move is measured from the moment the opponent's move is visible on the board until you make a move on the board (click on the game board with the mouse). Chess players have certainly been waiting for this functionality - their views on the chess forum. * Interesting board games- from now on, in the vint.ee environment, it is possible to learn various board games based on the games played by others. There is also the opportunity to discuss a specific game by commenting. The main purpose of this functionality is to bring out interesting situations (tasks) from the game room - so that thoughts do not remain in the game room's chat window, but so that other users can read / comment on them later. See for example: Interesting checker games * Beautiful URLs in the Vint.ee environment[b] - If you have noticed, from now on the pages in our environment there will be more beautiful URLs ("http://www.vint.ee?page=5" instead of "http://www.vint.ee/lauamangud/"). This will make it more convenient and better for you to forward our links to others :) * [b]Tournament updates - as you can see, we took a step closer to organizing tournaments with participation fees. Now we just need to create a bank link solution, with which users can load credit from their own internet bank. It is also now possible to configure tournament time controls - there is an opportunity to experiment: you could organize a checkers tournament with a time control of 1 min 5 sec, for example. Discussion on these topics could be continued Vint.ee Online turniiride forumis.
