BrainKing.info - the BrainKing game site knowledge base

There are people who like to change their BrainKing user name every week, some of them even more often. Well, it is not against the rules and if they feel compelled to do it, it is only their business. The only "problem" emerges when such a name chameleon suddenly forgets what name he changed to for the last time, which leads to "Help, I cannot log in BrainKing, it says invalid user name or password!" screaming and panicking. My mailbox confirms this theory because I receive this kind of message almost every 2 weeks.

The solution is very easy and it might be suitable for people who do not change their user name as well. Since today, it is possible to enter either user name or email address (which is registered with your BrainKing account) to the login form. And if you use your correct password, BrainKing should log you in. No matter how many times you modify your user name - just remember your email and you are safe forever.

The "User Name" label at the login form will be probably renamed to "user name or email address" soon. Until then, it is a hidden (but useful) feature.

Yes, I know that BrainKing game site has its own blog and it would be nice to post some news occasionally. Very well, here we are back again. There is no big bang or breakthrough to announce today, just a couple of upcoming events:

• Easter Action It seems that certain actions are more popular than other ones and although I say to myself every year "OK, this is for the last time, who wants it anymore?", I have already received a really big amount of requests to make a special membership purchase action this year as well. So be it. And why to wait for Easter? You can expect the Easter Egg bonus code system to be activated in a few days. It will be properly described in Server News on time, as usual.


• BrainKing logo Fine, let's face the truth - the current BrainKing logo is a crap. I remember that I had designed it 8 years ago as a result of "let's model something what looks like a brain and like a king" sort of thought but, from my contemporary point of view, the image of a chess king sitting on a chequered human brain is (disgusting and) too complicated to be easily drawn on t-shirts, mugs, flashdisks, or even easy to remember. Furthermore, BrainKing is not focused on Chess only (although it actually had been 8 years ago), ergo the logo itself it kind of confusing, making many people think that BrianKing is nothing but a Chess site. Spooky, eh?
  The point is, we have started to design a new BrainKing logo and our former intention was to release it as a part of upcoming BrainKing 3.0. However, according to many changes of structure, logic and functionality of the new site, the release date is "a bit" postponed, so we will probably change the logo in a few weeks, maybe sooner. If nothing goes wrong, this event would be closely related to a re-release of BrainKing Store (currently inactive), featuring new t-shirts, mugs, mousepads and tens of other goods.

There will be also a few additions to the current BrainKing in a near future, mostly because it is our good concern to reflect demands of the market (phew, what a terrible sentence). More details later.
