I GET PITURS WITHGAME CHALLENGES BUT WON'T  ACCEPT CHALLENGES. WHY?

Why indeed?  If I understand your topic, I gather you are willfully choosing not to accept challenges.  If this is a 'Support' query, I urge you to post in the Support forum.

Perhaps you'd care to restate your query in a more clear fashion and please, avoid using all CAPS (which is seen as 'shouting' and may also be seen as violating the site's terms of use).

I'm glad you could understand it, but I'm still trying to figure out what a "pitur" is.

I  get pictures of friends with the word challenge. I'm assussuming they want to play; but when I try it gets refused many of thr requests.Why ask? sftac sorry about caps.

If some of their requests (challenges) do work, perhaps you are slow to respond and they've changed their mind between the time they issued their challenge and you attempted to accept it.

This is sounding like a 'Support' query, and so I believe it would be better to try posting this topic in this site's Support forum.

I think that I understand what you are saying and do correct me if I am wrong.

When you are on  My Online Chess page there is a section called: "My Friends Online" and you see your friends pictures when they are currently at the Chess.com site or online.

Some of your friends show the word "Challenge" below their names and their pictures right? And some don't.

If challenge is shown then they normally would accept a challenge I think.

If you challenge and they do not respond they might have recently change their setting and do not accept a challenge.

My suggestion is to click on the friend's name once on their member page go to the Actions section on the right hand side of the page, select send a message and type and send your message asking why your challenge was not accepted.

They are not challenging you. There is a shortcut displayed in case you want to challenge them.

I'm guessing that you see something similar to this, in your Friends window:

Chesskia, YOU must have a setting where YOU refuse to accept challenges. After we finished our "Let's PLay" game that was a challenge from you to me some time ago (remember, you said something about the endgame being "hard"), I tried to challenge you back a day or so later, but I got a meesage saying that YOU don't ACCEPT challenges.

Have you checked you account settings of late? (think that's where the "accept challenges" setting is)

To get to your chess settings: go to my Home on the top bar at the right of the page and when you put your mouse on my Home a drop menu will appear then click on the last item called Account and when you get to the My Account page select Manage your Online Chess Settings under the Online Chess Settings title, you are now on a page titled Settings Online Chess, scroll down to the last item on the page where it says  Unavailable and verify that the box  STOP! I'm NOT available for challenges or tournaments! is unckecked as shown here.

Let us know if this corrects your problem.
