It's a lot more convenient using bookmarks. I keep them in a folder on the bookmarks toolbar. Then I can right click the folder and select [open all bookmarks] The browser opens them all in tabs while I go get something to eat. Then I can just flip through them, closing each tab as I please. But all the URLs had changed after the vote games were restored, so I had to go through all 34 of my bookmarks and edit the URLs. I want to take this opportunity to thank myself for all the hard work.Tongue out

In this game, I just made a comment and the comment has disappeared, I suspect that the same thing has happend to others, any ideas?

Sometimes that happens to me. I have noticed that if I take a long time to compose my comment (for example - if it includes analysis) the message often disappears. So I usually ctrl-c the comment before I submit it just to play it safe.

Vote Chess League Head Quarters and Vote Chess League Tournaments are having to redo all of our links as well.  I'm not even playing in most of those games.

As wormrose says, the disappearing comments is a longstanding phenomenon, and control-c a good safety measure.

OK! We gonna play a Vote Chess Match, if the Staff will 'allow it happen', like a miracle!

 Bad Planning mean bad results and some real Confuses after Grand Operation 'Upgrade'...

Let Pray! Come to my prayers Group, by the way! End of Advertisement, and start to play Vote or Vote Play, whatever come first on mind...

Actually, I'm pretty sure no matter how many comments I make I can't see them, however I think other people on my team can as when I posted a few things for the postiotion and encouraged people to vote for a move, a few votes went that way, so I'm not sure yet.

I've been submitting comments all day without any problem.  Just navigate away from the page, then enter from the Vote Chess page, and try submitting your comments again.

Great NEWS! It is a GM Draw! I Push the 'Click here to go to the game' numerous time.............................................................................................................................

and nothing happen again, as my recent 16 Games  a few Hours before, and before... and before.... 

I think, that the World Recession affect us  and Site more than we can even dream about!

Would you like to gently Accept my Draw Offer, before my first Winning Move 1.g2-g4!?

If you didn't ctrl-c, click back in the browser, and the comment will be there for cutting (you will not be able to resubmit, however, you must load the page again)

Wormrose, I too like to use bookmark management and tabs to handle overhead here at chess.com. It surprises me that more people don't make use of these sort of features!

I mentioned this one earlier... just a trivial oversight, the link points to the message itself and not the position!
