Since no-one has any more time or ingenuity than me, here are some images to go with the TROPHY ideas.

Name	IMAGE	MESSAGE
Agatha Christie Trophy		It’s a mystery to me why you didn’t win!
Alternate View 1		You didn’t WIN – but you didn’t DRAW either!
Alternate View 2		The next best result to a win!
Alternate View 3		That would have been a win – with a few different moves.
Alternate View 4		You won it all – except the result.
Competitor		Silver Medal Position
Enthusiasm		You lost the game – but not your enthusiasm
Eric Morecambe Trophy		All the right moves, but not necessarily in the right order!
Exaggeration		You came THAT close to winning!
Excitement		You’re not losing a chess game, you’re gaining a reputation.
Experiments 1		How many roads must a man walk down before he admits he is lost?
Experiments 2		To succeed – you must first fail.
Fortune 1		One of had to lose – and this time it was you!
Fortune 2		Sometime you get the bear; sometimes the bear gets you!
Fortune 3		You win some – you lose some.
Fortune 4		Some you win, some you lose.
Going For It		No pain, no game!
Heroic Failure		You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'. - Homer Simpson
Insurance		There are worse things in life than losing a game of chess. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Joke 1		You’re better at losing than I am.
Joke 2		You’re better than me … at losing.
Joke 3		I was all set to lose – but you beat me to it.
Joke 4		You snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Optimism 1		Don’t tell me you lost again!
Optimism 2		You lost the game but – it could have been worse!
Optimism 3		Losing isn’t everything!
Philosophy 1		It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Shakepeare Trophy		Some great plays in there!
Staring		There is a fine line between playing chess and just sitting staring at the board like an idiot.
Still Trying		"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." (EINSTEIN)

SURVEY SUGGESTION

What do you consider the most annoying aspect of the forums?

• The same boring, unimaginative, repetitive topics continually recur.
  
• SEARCH facilities are so poor that it’s next-to-impossible to find anything.
  
• There is no facility to reference individual posts.
  
• Too many contributors post inane comments such as “LOL”, “First!” or “me 2”.
  
• Some members are so opinionated in their expressed views – almost to the point of fanaticism.
  

I'd say SEARCH facilities! But it would be neat to be able to reference a specific post in some thread.

SURVEY SUGGESTION

Which type of photo/image/avatar are you using to represent you on chess.com?

• portrait photo of myself
  
• line drawing/artistic version of myself
• picture of a more attractive person that I pass off as myself (Gumpty)
• family/friends group photo
  
• famous person
  
• recognisable object
  
• abstract image
  
• no image

Arty you forgot to include :''I use a picture of somebody far more attractive than myself and pretend that its me'' :-)

The link works fine. Needless to say, the URL is treated unkindly by the formatting - unlike the mouse and this one ...

The new trophies are being rolled out (on page 5).

There's still no direct way to view the game trophies, except at the point of awarding one, (apart from using the Billium248 Method ...

 unless you've given a trophy to every single opponent for every single game in your archive, just go to one in which you DIDN'T give a trophy and click on the "give a trophy" just long enuf to see all the options without actually giving the trophy.)

Any chance of seeing the statistics on the frequency of use of the GAME - and the FUN trophies? How about varying the order of showing the available trophies? Use: random order, or frequency of use, or ...

I'd like to find a specific trophy .. .how do I do that? I tried paging and missed it.

---

I would NOT like this.  I have gotten used to what page my favorite trophies to give are on so that I can go to it more quickly.  If the order was random or changing, I would have to search for it each time.

---

I agree 150% UNLESS you provide a way to search for a specific trophy -- in that case, random might be ok because it would showcase the various trophies. IMHO

SURVEY SUGGESTION

How many chess.com GROUPS do you belong to?

More than 20

10 .. 20

6 .. 9

2 .. 5

None

Regarding surveys, the only option currently available is a discrete, multiple-choice variable (radio buttons). Could support for numbers be added? This would be much more natural for surveys such as: How many chess.com groups do you belong to?

SURVEY SUGGESTION:

How often do you participate in a chess.com survey?

Every time one appears

Occasionally

Never
