Bookmark at BrainKing Links
You might have noticed a small "brainy" button at the bottom-left of every article at this site. Its purpose is very simple - to make the process of bookmarking any page as quick and easy as possible. When it is clicked, you are instantly redirected to the Links section of your BrainKing Profile page (if you are already logged in BrainKing, otherwise you are asked to log in first), and the Page URL and Page name fields are automatically pre-filled. Submitting the new link form will store the new bookmark to your Profile and send you back to the original page, where the Bookmark at BrainKing Links button has been used.
Simple, huh? However, until this service is supported at other blog systems, the button is shown only here. On the other hand, it is very easy to integrate it to any page. If you want to test it, and give this "Bookmark at BrainKing Links" option to visitors of your own page(s), just add the following line to the chosen position of the HTML code of the page:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://BrainKing.info/bklink.js"></script>
That's all! The script automatically finds the page URL and title, so it's not necessary to set it manually for every page. However, sometimes it cannot work as expected - for example, when the page contains more sections with different titles and permanent links, which is not possible to detect and handle by the script. In this case, it is possible to insert a direct hyperlink code of this pattern:
<a href="http://BrainKing.com/en/ProfileLinks?url=*PageURL*&title=*PageTitle*"><img src="http://BrainKing.info/uploads/bksmall.png" title="Bookmark at BrainKing Links" border="0"></a>
As I have said, the BrainKing Bookmarks system will contain many more features when enough links are stored at the database. Hopefully, the bookmark buttons and other small improvements could help it a little.

Brainking starts to be annoying. It's not a playing site anymore.
It has lots of unnecessary features, e.g.
- a blog
- wall
- public friends
- links
- etc etc.
it does NOT have necessary features, like
- detect winners/losers of tournament rounds early
- being able to switch sides when looking a game
- bug fixes, like switching white/black in the "... is in check" - message in japanese chess,
- having a (working) autopass system
- etc etc

Yes. And the most annoying thing is to read such comments from someone who does not dare to show his name and posts as "anonymous". Actually, the main purpose of these "unnecessary features" is to drive all "anonymous complainers" out of the site, to make it better for everyone else.
Furthermore, none of the listed "necessary" features is really necessary.

Hmmmm, that's a subject to argue too.
BrainKing already contains MANY useful game site features, why not to enhance it by something different for a change? That's what I am doing now. It is just a beginning.

If you'd like bklink.js to not use a global variable (and be less clumsy looking as a script)
you can create and call a function in a single statement like so:
1. Create an anonymous function.
___ function(){...}
2. Enclose it in brackets to make it a referenceable object.
___ (function(){...})
3. Add a final pair of parentheses to call it.
___ (function(){...})()
(function() {
var esc = window.encodeURIComponent ? encodeURIComponent : escape;
document.write('<a href="http://BrainKing.com/en/ProfileLinks?url='
+ document.location.href + '&title=' + esc(document.title)
+ '"><img src="http://brainking.info/uploads/bksmall.png" title="Bookmark at BrainKing Links" border="0"></a>');
})();
Or why not just do the whole thing in one statement?
document.write('<a href="http://BrainKing.com/en/ProfileLinks?url='
+ document.location.href + '&title='
+ (window.encodeURIComponent ? encodeURIComponent : escape) (document.title)
+ '"><img src="http://brainking.info/uploads/bksmall.png" title="Bookmark at BrainKing Links" border="0"></a>');

Because I like to make things complicated. 
And now seriously, what the problem of defining one global variable which is very unlikely to collide with any other possible JavaScript code at the page where it is used? Furthermore, if I decided to improve the script in the future, it would not be the best approach to put everything to one document.write call.
But maybe I am wrong, I am not a JavaScript guru, of course.

"Thank you, playBunny, I like the simplicity of the last option and it would certainly do for now. That all-in-one function definition plus call is new to me and I'll use that if I should make a more complicated public script in future. Thanks for showing me."

Sure, as soon as I know what exactly to write there. 
The filled entries are already outdated, so the whole Help must be rewritten.
