eboard is crazy

[5hundy]

Does anyone else use eboard to connect to FICS? As soon as I log in it starts randomly jumping from game to game on the server about ever 3 seconds. Is that normal?! :confused: (I'm using v0.9.5 on Breezy btw)

Having the same problem here.. using 1.1.1 on Intrepid. Can someone give me a hint on how to fix this?

Here's the same message I gave to mr.nope's post on same problem:

"OK, I remember this happening to me a couple of years ago, it is a simple fix if I can just remember! I really haven't played much since then so all this is memory and I am 69 years old.

I believe if you previously had used BabasChess with Windows before using Eboard, it would change a varience(I'm not sure this is the right word) on FICS web site. Changing that varience back would fix the problem.

If you can't figure it out from this info, post back and we'll dig further."
