Im I the only one that actually likes the new layout ? Its just the change chess.com needed . More like a social networking site . I love it ! Btw DONT CHANGE IT BACK !!

I like it too, but there still isn't a way to a) rate comments and b) sort comments by user ratings.

Adding these two simple features would greatly improve the Puzzle of the Day comment section.

Currently the comments are ordered by the time they were posted and the result is pages of mostly spam each day on the puzzle of the day page. Users should be able to thumb up or thumb down comments and then have the option to order the comments by their thumb ratings rather than by the time that they were posted. This could greatly increase the quality of the comment section, especially on the Puzzle of the Day page.

from phone it's impossible even to observe whole table - it shows only c, d, e, f, g and h rows... no a & b 

YES . Top rated comment like on youtube would make this site soooo much better . I like the fact that the "note" feature is more emphasized :) 

I really like it!

I do too Cody!

Can't say I like it at all! Where, for instance do we see which friends are online? Why do we first have to go to the 'details' page before we can use the + - buttons in the analyse function. and most of the fonts are far too small, meaning that if we increase their size then other items disappear off the edge of the page.  And so on...

I also like it, thanks for the update!

I love it: All the fresh bugs are great and especially thanks for sharing my list of friends without asking. Maybe privacy abuses are the way to get rich...look at Facebutt = $100billion IP!

However, the best improvement is the update credit card page: My membership expires today and I need to update the credit card, but that page doesn't work for me in Firefox or Chrome. I guess I lose all my tournament games at midnight tonight.

So yes, I love the new look. It's grand.

You're not alone! I think the updates are awesome!

Basic members are restricted from joining tournaments not from playing in them.

If you are in multiple tournaments you are not removed when you become a basic member. 

A few observations:

• Why do we now have to go into the 'details' box before we can use the forward and back buttons in analysing our games.
• Why, when we go into 'explore', can't we then get back to the game we're exploring?
• Why should all our friends be displayed for everyone else to be able to sticlybeak at?
• Many of the fonts are too small, and when I increase the size then other things just disappear off the page.
• Why can't we see more than a single line when we're writing notes, and where is the spellcheck funtion?
• Why do some buttons, headings  etc. show in such a pale shade of grey that anyone with restricted vision can't read them? The whole site seems to have been constructed with an almost complete disregard for short-sighted people. Modern it may be, but user-frendly it isn't!
• Incidentally, when I pasted these remarks from another page, the 'list' dots disappeared!

i like it too

Is there a back arrow that takes you to the previous screen without having to exit and go back in? When I am following something in the forum and want to retrace my steps, I don't know how to get back to the previous screen...thx!!!
