About the the Subscriber Control Panel


The Subscriber Control Panel is a page that can bring the whole site together on one page.

It does require the your browser support Frames. I think that means WebTV users will not be able to use it, but most other browsers in use today do support frames.

The Subscriber Control Panel is totally customizable in look and content! The Theme and Options links at the top of the page allow you to see what you want, how you want. See the Player Information section below for more info.

Depending on the amount of screen space you have, you may want to eliminate some of the optional modules, or even add more Board Areas and modules to your Subscriber Control Panel.

                 General Layout of the Subscriber Control Panel
Here are some special notes on what is available in some of the sections:
  • Player Info This is a summary of your important options and information.
    There are 2 links that allow you to change the way your page looks. The Options link allows you change content of the page (How many Boards and which Modules to show), while the Theme link allows you to choose a color scheme from a list of themes, or you can create your own custom theme.
  • Your Active Games List This shows all of your active games with links that will open the games in the Game Boards Area. If you only chosen to show only one Game Board area, then the Game Number is the link to show the game, otherwise, there are links next to each game that allow you to open each game in a specific board.
  • Game Board(s) This has all of the information available from the normal Game Page at the site, but it is shown in a more compact mode. There are also a few goodies to help you manage your games easier. The Waiting Game link at the top-right will look for a game where it is your turn. The Auto-Refresh will only show when it is not your turn, and if you turn it on, the Game Board will refresh automatically every 5 minutes until it is your turn (or you turn it off). The 5 minute interval is not changable (you can't have it every 1 or every 10 minutes, or whatever).
