A feature like facebook's "wall-to-wall" on the notes pane would make it much easier to follow a thread.
I've also noticed that sometimes the pop-up boards pop under the "Time per move" drop-box on the My Online Chess pages.
Feature Requests and Wishlist Thoughts #2
Sort:
I'd think it would be cool to see the daily puzzle keep track of the people who solve the puzzle without any erroneous attempts so that they could be listed as having successfully solved the puzzle in that puzzle's forum topic. I think it might cut down on the ubiquitous "Easy" and "Got it on the first try" comments that clutter the thread every day.
It would also be cool to keep track of peoples times but it's not really possible to do so fairly without pulling the puzzle off the main page.
How about offering a free membership to the 1st service member that joins each week/(or other time frame)? It would be a great way to support the troops and be great word of mouth advertising.
Is there a way to indicate whether or not conditional moves/lines have been entered for a game on the main game page? If not, I'd like to suggest this idea - when moving back and forth between many games, it's easy to forget which games I've entered conditionals for.
Maybee this have been mentioned but here it goes...
Would it be possible to add a feature so we can sort our list of friends in to categoriez? That would be helpful once the friends start to pile up on you :-)
On the game board sometimes I send a message. But my opponent doesn't reply everytime and my message stay there until the game over...I think if we can delete our message it would be nice.
I have noticed that when you create a new game, you have the option of having the game start at a specific opening position. I was hoping that you could include an option which allows you to create an unrated endgame. You can create codes for certain positions, or you can allow us to create the endgame position ourselves. I am very bad at endgames and I think a feature like this would help me improve.
Another little one:
On the Player Rankings page for tournaments players are sorted first by points, then their tiebreak score. I've noticed that early in a tournament, however, some players who've already lost games get ranked above players who've yet to finish one. I think that "games remaining" needs to be added as the tertiary sort item in the rankings to correct this.
I havent had chance to check all posts so apologies if this has been suggested previously. I would like an option to chage your default view when you go into your online chess page. At the moment it shows only 10 games and you have to keep selecting the all games option to have it show all the rest. I for one would like the option for it to show all the games I currently have at that time without having to keep selecting that option every time I go back to that page.
^^ agreed. I think i recall Erik saying that improvements to the game view are underway so maybe this could be part of it. Also nice would be to be able to toggle the "columns" view eg click on the column titled "opponent" and be able to list them in order of those online/offline now.. same with columns for most/least moves taken and most/least time left. Cheers
When we hover the mouse over the games, a window displays. But it doesn't show for alerts. Also, it would be nice if we could make moves from there.
Somestimes I can see people with a red online logo with LIVE under it. What does this mean??

That means that they are playing "live" chess (real-time usually blitz) as opposed to hanging out in the forums or playing turn-based chess.
in the list of the players it would be good to put into the list of sort by the sort of average time per move

On my personal tournaments page.
Under "Completed Tournaments"
It would be nice if it said what place I finished and not just who won.
I really enjoy the "My Stats" section. The graph that shows improvement over time has been motivational and I thought it might be interesting to have this visual and chronological reminder applied to different aspects of your statistics.
For example, having a graph that showed your "average opponent" rating grow over time would be a good way of indicating how I was improving my rating. For some people who play a wide variety of ratings this may not be helpful or interesting, but perhaps some people would find it useful.
Also the pie chart that shows visually your percentages of wins, loses, and draws is nice, but searching for people you have played previously can be hard. If you do not know the person's full display name the chart will respond that it has insufficient data to find your percentages against them. Perhaps it could function similar to a search engine where a list of possible names appeared that could be chose from would simplify this.
I believe I read you mentioning a way of selecting games from our archives and highlighting them as interesting games without having to post them in a blog or forum, is this still in the works or did I misread?

In our profile page we have the opportunity to set out ACF rating. It's kinda difficult for those of us who dont live in the USofA.
There'd probably be a lot more ratings shown if we were able to set our OTB Rating or National Rating.
Whaddayathink?
Erik , when will the Opening Explorer come out?

Forum and Blog posting: two improvements could be made.
If we cut and paste something, say a link, to a post it deletes anything that was already in that line -- that is, it replaces the whole line rather than takes its place at the end of it. Not difficult to correct if you're expecting it to happen, but it needn't happen.
Second, if I make an error in a post and go back to correct it, any special fonts in that blog will be rendered as plain text. I know that applies to italics and bold face type, but not to altered text colours. Can that be fixed, please?
Two things:
1) It would be really helpful that in the analysis board we can analyze our games when they are finished. That would be really helpfull.
2) How about an option in the "My Home" menu called "My analyzed games". and there we can post our analyzed games directly from the games archive so us can view it whenever we want. (It would be like our game database but with our comments and analysis). You can even define how many games can an user store in his analyzed games by their membership status.
