It would be great if chess.com posted to an admin topic in Beta when a release of fixes and feature extensions was made, itemizing key aspects. This would provide feedback to beta users and also increase the likelihood that beta users would test them as well as take advantage of feature extensions.
As an example I just discovered that the Analysis Report settings have been much improved:
Not sure when this occurred. Nice upgrade though.

In live chess, there are often little sidebars with upcoming tournaments in the sidebar, like this:
But when I click on it, it takes me to the <1199 rated 1|0 bullet tournament, which I am ineligible for.
Shouldn't it take to either the 1200-1499 rated tournament, or the open version?

In case when on live chess piece is picked, if mouse slips over board upon side menu, hover on function will pop up and cover the board, so player have no idea where to put piece. Very annoying and it costed me few games in bullet (sometimes I forget where my piece was ).
This is just taken now from live game - side menu popup covered half of board.I'm thinking about limiting mouse movements if piece is picked up to board only, it should not be possible to move pointer outside, right ?.

Initial display of Score does not present the vertical scroll bar so it is impossible to see beyond move 31. This makes it impossible to scroll down and see the horizontal scroll bar and scroll to the end.Displaying Themes and returning to Score does present the vertical scroll bar.

Hey, just wanted to ask the team that can there be any improvements in the format for the games of international chess tournaments? I mean like, if a tournaments such as, lets say the Gashimov Memorial 2019 is going on or the Grenke Chess Classics 2019... The games of the tournament can be accessed through the binoculars (events) part on the live chess browsers. But can there be any improvement in that like how the ches*24 members did, where we can also view the results, pairings of previous rounds and after rounds(if it is round robin), standings etc cause honestly not only me but many prefer ch*ss24 for live tournament coverage purposes. Chess.com is way better in every aspect than c*ess24 but except in this one. I hope you guys take my suggestion into consideration

So, for my browser (Google Chrome) I experience an interesting graphics issue with the progress graphs offered on the home page. To replicate it:
1) Click on Home and go to the ratings section.
2) Select the tab "Blitz". (the top one for me)
3) For a brief moment, you should see streaks across the graph window as the graph loads.
This doesn't seem to work for any other tab, can you take a look?

Not sure if it's a glitch or not? Whenever I play 4 Player Chess, either FFA (Free For All) or Team matches and I click on another user's name during the game, and subsequently go to their profile (which opens up a second screen) the sound stops working in the match.
This requires me to refresh the page where the game is taking place (and sound returns), which isn't a huge inconvenience, but it is rather annoying to have to do. From time to time, I will either add someone as a friend or want to send them a trophy, and this results in me having to temporarily disconnect from the game, in order to refresh my browser (Firefox 66.0.3 64-bit).
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

When setting up a position on the analysis board, if the position is such that one side is in check, moving that side's pieces will result in the illegal move sound and the king flashing red. It seems misplaced as it's not analyzing moves but rather setting up a position.

The color for the evaluation in most cases is white b/g with black text for "favors white" and black b/g with white text for "favors black". This includes evaluations like "-M1", but does not seem to include "0-1".
Not that anyone will be confused by which side "0-1" favors, but to be consistent, maybe it should be black?

So I noticed that in the beta version that the reset button has been removed in live chess.
(I am just talking about live chess not analysis mode)
Is there anyway it can be put back in. For me it is nice to be able to finish a game of chess and go back through the game and make different moves. The problem with this is that making new moves removes all the moves you made after the new moves. The reset button made it easy to go back to the original game moves, but now I have to refresh to get the original game back.

The other day I was on an offshore work trip, there was no internet connection. I thought to myself, it sure would have been nice to be able to do some tactics offline. For example every time you load the tactics, it should save like a 100 tactics. So In case you don't have internet, you'll still be able to do tactics..
What do you guys think?

I was on the Opening explorer, and played out 1. d4 Nc6 2. Nf3, the Nimzoswitch Defense Declined. after continuing with 2... e5 Bb5 (The Ruy Lopez), I hovered my mouse over the next move, and it still showed Nimzoswitch Defense Declined. Here is a diagram on what I mean by this:
Not sure if this is a problem just for this, or for all of it.

After I play a game, sometimes I like to go back and review my moves, make comments about what I was thinking at the time and how it turned out, etc.
I click Save periodically as I make these comments.
However, I've discovered that if I go back to one of these games after closing the browser window or switching computers, that the annotations/comments disappear.
Is this intended behavior? If so, what's the purpose of the Save button?

I got some really weird results for an analysis. The arrows make absolutely no sense and the symbols are sometimes out of place. It seems like they're delayed, but the delay wasn't consistent either. Also for non-best moves it didn't show the best move. Refreshing fixed it though.
