The submit buttons and other pertinent buttons on the main page of Vote Chess sometimes appear there and sometimes disappear. And the analyze windows on IE browser is not working. You could not even maximize the window. In Chrome browser, the Random vote chess game has no submit and other pertinent buttons in it and the analyze window is messed up, too.

The new Chess.com setup is a nice one if and only if all the bugs in it is fixed.

BTW, my OS is Windows XP and the browser I use is IE8.

Thanks Erik for responding positively &  fixing these main problems :-

1.Giving the chess games a priority than the "notes" by keeping them above & in the center !

2.My vote chess option in the menu bar working in order as in the old format  showing the vote chess games in order of the urgency of voting !

The very important problem for our members who are participating very actively in our vote chess games through their mobiles :-They can't still add their comments which requires an attention urgently ,as such active members are the vital force in our vote chess games & we do not want to miss their contribution in our VC games !

One more problem regarding VC games still persisis & that is about the "Analysis board " !

The board & the keys to move the pieces should be on the same screen !

Here we have to scroll down for whole one screen for the keys & we  loose the sight of the board which becomes meaningless & too inconvenient to scroll again upward & downward with each movement of piece when we check our sequence of moves in a particular plan !

Hope that the effecient staff will get these problems fixed very soon ! All the best !!!:-)

i had a little problem in the tactics trainer. the option to stop when it is solved was already in, i solved the first one and it did not count. after that i choose the option to automaticly pass to the next one and everything was ok, but i solved 4, instead of the 3 that i can do each day

On the online chess page I would rather see how long I, or my opponent has to move, instead of the time since the last move.

Also, there seems to be a bug, as it says I have two pages of current games, but they both look exactly the same.

when they set-up the new format it gave you ten free demo they don't count against your stats

I like the new look! you guys rock! best chess website!

First time when i joined, i found it hard to use, many links on top menu, now they are arranged way better, and look is smooth and pleasant.

Thank you!

How can you tell how many games or how many time outs a new opponent has???

always something i like to know as well...

not sure how to get to the daily puzzle game yet either.

it's improving though, the current games have moved back to the main screen where they were...

You can get to it through the forums: http://www.chess.com/forum/category/daily-puzzles

The link on the main page doesn't seem to work yet.

EDIT: It's back under Learn. 

On a completely positive note, now that I've spent some time with the new board sound effects, I'm really starting to like them.

1. As others have probably pointed out already, the daily puzzle is harder to get to than before. In the old design you only had to click on the puzzle and you got there instantly. Now it directs you to the forum board where you have to click two more times to get to the puzzle.

2. The posts in a topic are divided with quite a thin and grey line. With certain themes that have grey backgrounds these lines are almost invisible and makes the topic boards seem chaotic and unorganized to me. The color or size of these lines should be changeable in these themes. With blank white themes like the standard chess.com one it's just fine.

I haven't had time to check everything out yet, but I'll let you know when an improvement comes to mind.

How to look at the number of team matches and vote chess games in progress for a group?

Edit: And where are the links for Team Match and Vote Chess Leaderboards in the top menu bar?

The newly restored link to the Daily Puzzle on the Learn menu (thank you) links incorrectly, and takes you to the top level Forums page.

okay got it. but it should be in group's home page also, not only in public profile.

Taking the liberty to post another member's comment who has voiced the same opinion as mine.

Great service :)

sorry if I indicate something already been mentioned, I can't check every post in a short time... anyway here is my list:

• EMPTY GROUP PAGE (please add list of forums like in previous chess.com version and something else cause group page now is very empty, we need to use space more effective)
• WEBSITE FROM IPHONE IS CUTTING BOARD FOR TWO ROWS (also it cuts all comments, so there is no possibility to see full chess board (there is no a and b row) as well in online chess)
• PLEASE PUT MESSAGES ALERT AT THE TOP IN ALERTS (...and then should go Group Activity, Tournament Games, Vote Chess Games, Team Match Games and only then Chess Games (they are friendly why we should put them above Team Match Games???)
• LINK FIRST NEW COMMENT DOESN'T WORK (example: http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=108335&ncc=1#first_new_comment)
• FINISHED GAMES AT PLAYER PAGE INCLUDES LIVE & ONLINE GAMES ALLTOGETHER (they really need to be separated like in previous version of chess.com)

I have a suggestion. When a friend of mine writes an article I get a note. When I click on the note then the screen shows the lists of all articles and blogs. I think it would be an improvement that when you click on the note that  you can choose the option to open the article or blog or comment directly instead of showing me the list  of articles. It makes it easier to read all the comments and articles of the people I follow. (if my english is confusion please sent me a pm and I will explain). 

What i most like about the new design is that you can see all the ratings in one view.
