Whenever I open one of my games, everything loads except for the pieces. I just get an empty board to look at. This was also the case when I tried to open my games last night, about 7 hours ago. Any ideas on what may be causing this?

Everything else on the site seems to be workin fine. I can even see a little preview of the games when I hold my cursor over the "My move" link. My sneaking suspicion is that it has something to do with the update done around 8ish hours ago. Is there something new I need to download? I am currently using dial-up through AOL, but I have used it many times before so it's not like the browser doesn't support it.

i have no idea, try just waiting a while before trying that game again.  sometimes if i just come back to a game when it does that to me then it loads fine. but that might just be our interweb.
