Please let me correct my last post. I think that we should use the little hand holding the pawn, rather than the user name, as the link to "Current Games" (or, better yet, as a customizable link to be set by the user).
Here's an alternative option that I would like. On each current game screen, in the lower-right corner, there's a left and right arrow, with the words "Ready Games" in between. It would be great if you could make the "Ready Games" field a link to the "Current Games" screen. That would solve my problem!
Last humble suggestion (for now): I'll betcha that most Online Chess players, like me, use those left- and right- arrows all the time, to move between ready games. Please, can you put those arrows (perhaps with that "Ready Games" link described above) higher on the page? I (and others, I assume) use those arrows way, way more than I use the Twitter or Facebook links, so at least it should be above them. Currently, I need to scroll down to reach those arrows.
Thanks so much for listening. I realize that these are very minor points in the big scheme of things. I also realize that every user has his/her personal preferences, and chess.com obviously can't cater to every one of them. But I figure that user feedback is helpful, and I offer these suggestions in the spirit of making chess.com the best site it can be.
It's taken me a little while to get used to it, but I like the new design! Many thanks for all of your efforts, chess.com folks.
I have one relatively simple request that would mean a lot to me (and maybe to some others). I mostly play Online Chess. When I'm on the site, I use the "Current Games" screen as my home base -- I always come back to it after making a move in a particular game.
I would love to have a link or button that takes me directly to that page. The most elegant solution would be in the upper-right hand corner of the screen, in the little box that shows my screen name, subscription level, and the "X" for signing off. Currently, when I click on my name, it takes me to the Edit Profile page. This seems like a poor design choice to me. I feel the need to edit my profile maybe once a month. I feel the need to return to the "Current Games" screen maybe 10 times a day!
Ideally, the user would be able to customize the landing page when clicking on his/her screen name. Perhaps you could give 3 or 4 options (e.g., Edit Profile page; Current Games page; Games Archive page), and have a drop-down box that remains set until the user re-sets it.
I completely understand if my suggested solution is more complicated to implement than I give it credit for. If so, can you just add a button or link at some convenient place that goes to the Current Games screen?
If I'm the only user who cares about this, then (channeling Emily Latella), "never mind." But if others also hunger for a one-click return to the Current Games screen, please help us suffering minions!
