sorry to hear about your cancer and hope you can fight it. Thoughts and prayers go out to you

I was so glad when you returned to GT, an old friend that I had really missed. I would hate for you to leave again. You have many good friends here who will also miss you and you have the additional support of so many. I am glad you are not alone at this time but please think about staying and don't let one person ruin it for you. God bless you and you are in my prayers always.

GOD be with you to help you out and help your friend. I’m sure you will fight this battle with cancer and we all will be here if you need us.

I agree with everyone else. If there's one bad apple here, I haven't met them yet. But suppose we all might find one wherever we go these days. Sorry about your cancer buddy. If you need supportive people, and we are here.

Wish u could ❤️❤️

Glad to see that you have a helper.
I hope you survive this cancer.
I have twice survived cancer and expect to soon survive a third cancer incident.
Sorry to see you go.

Please don't let one person deprive you of any joy you get from playing games on here. These games are for you, first and foremost. They're here to give you whatever you need from them, even just a distraction from the difficult challenges we face in life. You are under no obligation to talk to anyone on here. Or to respond to them. You can come and just play the games.
And if anyone is giving you a hard time, you can block them from sending you messages. I know that the admins that run the site are committed to a safe and comfortable playing environment for everyone.

Hi BillsPlace
I don't know you - we must play different games, but I am so sad to read this. I am sad about your cancer diagnosis and I really hope if what I understand correctly from your message that they have caught it early and hopefully can recover well. I am even more sad if you decide to leave Goldtoken for other reasons. I have no idea of what has happened. Just know that there are a lot of good people here and that I personally hope, if GT is in any way a good distraction , or whatever, you might stay.
I wish you, a stranger to me, all the best whatever you decide. You must put yourself first and I wish you well. I hope the best for you. If leaving GT is right for you go forwards with the support of many of us here.

I've been a member here a very long time.
I just wanted to let everyone know I won't be back I've got cancer and I'm with someone that's helping me through this.
She's helping me out a lot I could not do this without her prostate cancer took my dad he was 80 when he passed away a know because that caught this early ill be fine but because of a lot of doubtful friends I decided to leave Gold token and not return.
I've enjoyed my time here but one friend decided to not to believe in me God bless you all and thanks for the many hours we played games together I won't be back

Thank you jroyster - I have implemented some of these for the same reason - removing moving icons. But good to have the reminder.

I'm with you. I was able to limit some by selecting/unselecting these in my graphic options:

Display player icons next to their name
Select this option if you wish to see graphical name icons next to player names.

Hide name icons taller than text.
Select this option if you do not want to see name icons that are taller than regular text.

Hide name icons from the game sheet.
Select this option if you do not want to see name icons on the game sheet, but still want to see them elsewhere.

Many thanks Mecir - really appreciated. I am sure lots of people will like them but my eyes don't!

Disabled these for now, will look into making them configurable.

Same.

Please, make this go away.

My token for 20,000 games played has now arrived!

Hi all, As with this discussion board goldies are now appearing on games - I am finding this visually very disrupting and making games to be almost unplayable as it is hurting my eyes/brain. Is there a way to de-select this new option? I would mind a lot less if they weren't moving but the constant movement is very trying.

Wow indeed! That's awesome.
Thanks for sharing

You've inspired me to look at my totals...

Holy Moly! I've been at this for a while! I'm just shy of 20,000 wins!

• Platinum: 8
• Onyx: 370
• Gold: 19993
• Silver: 1940
• Wood: 17459

I know there are many with more wins and totals than I, but still- Wow!

I don't normally notice when I reach a new total - a token appears to tell me I've hit a new milestone on tournaments or games played. But for some reason I;ve noticed that I've reached 20,000 games played but I've not received a token. Is it simply that the trigger for a token is only periodically reviewed by the system so I just need to be patient? Or am i looking at the wrong figure on my game sheet? Not an earth shattering a problem but I am curious now I have noticed! Thanks for any insight

On the info page Golden Memorial Tokens It says:

Sandra loved her cats, reading books and playing games at GoldToken. She died 21 August 2024. She will be missed.

Oh looks like she was very active on the site. I just saw I had game history with her though not since 2017. It's always sad when a player passes. At least someone on GT was notified. Otherwise I guess nobody would ever really know.

Her name ... Sandra
sending you a message with the "UP Front" interview she did with me.

I am running a club in the winter Olympics. The 2024 Winter Olympics kittyrambo Memorial Club and wondered if anyone knew kittyrambo please ?
I like to try and post a piece about the player the club is named after at the top of the welcome page.
Sadly I did not know kittyrambo she was not in any of my clubs and I can't remember ever playing her.
Please message me if you can help me.
Thanks

You'll find the answer on this info page Picture Uploading Instructions

to add it to a discussion board post - the instructions are at the bottom of the page.

How may I attach a photo to a Discussion Board message? Like a scan to illustrate my point.
Can anyone tell me?

Thank you

Tomas is looking into this issue.

I'm still not being matched up on the fast ladder! Is there an admin that can look into this? I'm a paid member.

It is rather tedious to view all your profile tokens and compare them to the one's being offered for a new event.

I thought I noticed movement as well.

Here are the last 3 that you got...

23 September 2024
Token Day of the Programmer Honoring Tomas 2024 added by eliphont551
20 October 2024
Token Happy Halloween! added by eliphont551
31 October 2024
Token Spooky Halloween! added by eliphont551

I agree. The tokens move around. You can look at a profile and say, "that token is 3 over & 4 down". But you go back and it's moved.

I wonder which of my 273 tokens I got lastly. I have no idea as they're clearly not in any chronological order. I wonder how possible to have them listed thusly.

click on the ladders page, up top it says 'go to fast ladders'

How do we get to the fast ladders page? I didn't know we had fast ladders.

I think this is a bug affecting all Fast Ladders. If you navigate to the Fast Ladders page and then find the Fast Connect 6 Ladder you should see that you are on there and are either matched or waiting to be matched on Rung 1.
If you aren't visible by going that route to the ladder then its a new/different bug.

I just joined yesterday and instead of matching me with someone on the first rung it's linking me to my regular C6 ladder game.

Yep, we'll be adding this.

As a suggestion, would it be possible, in the Game Graphics option, to be able to change the pictures (as when an arrow is fired) to just have black boxes or a (black or red) cross to show which squares are inaccessible to Amazons?

Once a few moves have been played in the game, with the pictures, and the Amazons themselves, it all looks very messy & hard to see what is actually happening.

Well it kicked in after I feared timing out of my games.. But all is well. Thank you Jools.

The time should reset when it reaches zero, unless the game is a "no days off" tournie

All my games seem to have 1day time out on them. HELP need vacation days logged in.

I'm no expert, but it looks like you offered a draw AFTER you won. Green is all home. So, I dunno.

Hello, I offered a draw in Game #14138248. It shows that I did, but it's still sitting in "my turn", and I can't move any pieces. And the clock is ticking.

game number14450947 will not let me choose

i have trouble with those games like this too but still play

I made that mistake when I first started playing it too. Don't quit playing it's a fun game you'll really enjoy as you get used to it.

#14362910
That route is already claimed by your opponent. The double tracks are only for 4+ player games:
"Additionally, in 2-player and 3-player games, once one route is claimed, the other one is no longer available - claiming both routes is only possible in games with 4+ players."
(The last sentence in Claiming Routes)

game #14362910 (ALL ABOARD)

I am playing blue. My opponent is playing green.
For several turns now I have tried to claim the route from Boston to Caribou, but it simply isn't letting me claim it!? I have the 2 orange wagons needed to finish this part of the route, so why can't I claim it? I'm ready to just quit! I can't understand why it won't let me finish up the last segment of my route!!????

Never mind on this response, I was reading the numbers as “win/draw/loss” rather than the reality of “win/lose/draw”. LOL
