Current misbehavior: searching the news produces results in multiple languages. A moment ago, this search: https://www.chess.com/news/search?keyword=carlsen returned 5 results in English and 20 in other languages (translations of some of these five in English). My profile setting https://www.chess.com/settings/profile specifies English as my language and the "Content Language" is set to "My Language Only." Desired result: the search results should be consistent with the language preferences. Future enhancement: the search panel should have controls for selecting the desired languages. For example, I can read English, Polish, and Russian, and there is no way to limit the results to exactly these three languages.

Hey, guys! One suggestion I wanted to throw out there was is there a way we can auto-save blog posts in progress instead of us having to click the button to do so? The reason I bring this up is earlier, I started a blog post. When I was about say 80% done, my connection lost for a while. Since I was not connected, I could not save the blog. So when I went on the computer a few hours later, I had to log back on to chess.com, and my whole blog was deleted! So I am wondering if there is a way to do this because it might be more convenient for those (like me ) who can have lag issues from time to time. Anyways, thanks for everything!

When playing vs the computer the computers pieces flash when it moves a piece. for example, the computer will move a bishop and then the other bishop flashes on its square

Did you make this intentional chess.com? So, when you go to members and the search bar has the last member you searched.Is this intentional?btw love chess.com beta Just a small thing i noticed...

I think there should be 15/10 arenas.

The home page has a very useful section that shows alerts about various activities. It also includes a cryptic icon, identified with the red arrow on the image below: The meaning of this icon is likely to be not obvious to many users. My first guess was that it would produce a pop-up of some kind, or maybe tear off a window with just the new activities. Turns out that clicking this control removes the entire section with alerts from the side bar. Oops. [Edited later: at first, I did not find any easier way of restoring the alerts. I have greyed out the overcomplicated way described below] [Edited later yet: as documented in post #8, the overcomplicated way is the only way to permanently restore the alerts to the home page, hence now it is in boldface...] Restoring the alerts back to the home page is not simple, and many users will struggle with finding it; one has to: Click the sprocket wheel thingy in the main menu (not the one shown above -- remember, it disappeared after clicking the booby-trap indicated with the red arrow) and go to settings. Click the Home in the menu on the left (this, BTW, needs some guesswork, since to control the Alerts, one clicks the "Alerts and Email" item in that menu). Click the thingy on the far right, across from the the "Show Alerts" label. Click Save Go back to the home page. Five clicks to restore valuable information that took one click to destroy. Not good... While I am not sure why anyone would ever want to remove these alerts, I can see why one might want to hide them temporarily. Here are some desirable (IMHO) changes that would improve the current design: Have a control to "roll up" the entire content of the alerts section, leaving just the gray bar where currently the "Comment" text is showing. Have a self-explanatory text (e.g. "10 alerts") displayed in the bar. Clicking on that bar should un-roll it to the original size. Add a control to show ALL alerts, without having a scroll bar in the alerts section of the layout. In the "classic" layout, it would be helpful to reduce the size of the icons, so that the alerts are spaced more closely. To really make it look classic, let it have pale yellow background -- maybe not as bright as V2, so as not to clash too much with the rest of the page. The control whether Alerts should be shown or not shown should be moved (or duplicated) on the https://www.chess.com/settings/alerts page, instead of being available only on the https://www.chess.com/settings/home-interface page.

On a club's home page, forum posts (the "Activity" pane) are ordered by post origin time. On the club's forum page, they are ordered by last comment time (a much more useful ordering). Actual: Home-page "Activity" pane listing is ordered by post origin time (and the originator's name is displayed). Expected: The home-page "Activity" pane ordering should be by last comment time (and the last commenter's name should be displayed).

Hi, i have noticed that there are some problems with the updating of the topics, and a similar problem in the "most recent" box. In the "most recent" box a lot of topics with a new message, dont appears. Look, this topic is an example (where i posted), but is the same for the majority of the topics in the forum;

This is something I've been planning to suggest for a very long time, but nver got around to doing it, so finally here it is: When a topic is started, the toolbar of the editor looks like this: For all subsequent posts, the toolbar is vastly reduced: Note that many useful capabilities are not present in the latter. It seems to me that having the same editor for both activities would be much more user-friendly.

When trying to navigate down the ratings on this page: https://www.chess.com/leaderboard/daily eventually the "More v" control disappears, and you get something like this (captured in Opera, basic account): or this (Safari, diamond account): So far, the deepest I managed to navigate is this (Safari, diamond account): which I captured as evidence that the place, where navigation stops, is completely unpredictable. In the past, I had the leaderboard stop at 350 pr 500 members when the control to load more data has disappeared. Others have reported breakage at 1500, and also as low as 200.

Overview: When I open chess.com tv on the iOS app it opened the twitch tv for “Imvoja”. Environment: iOS 11.0.2'. On iPad Air 2. Chess.com app v 3.6.31. Steps to Reproduce: open chess.com app and tap on the triple lines in the top left then tap on “live” It will then open this This is not a live stream video.

Browser: Opera 47.0.2631.71, developer tools toggled on System: Mac OS X 10.12.6 64-bit Reproducible on a non-premium account, plain V3 (no beta). Baseline network activity summary after turning on the Opera's built-in ad blocker, and clearing the browsing data other than the passwords and cookies: 59 requests, 757kB transferred, DOM content loaded in 1.78 sec, finished loading the page in 2.28 seconds. So far so good. Now unblock the ads, reload the page. While the page reloads reasonably quickly, it keeps downloading something without any visible effect. about 2 minutes later, the cooling fan comes on and my macbook is getting hot. There seems to be no way to stop the incoming data (the relevant control in Opera flickers between X and reload symbol). After about 4 minutes, the network summary indicates having handled some 6,300 requests, and about 32 MB downloaded. After another 4 minuters, the request count is about 12,300, with 46.4 MB transferred; the largest pieces of data are https://www.hbd-cm.com/vid/These_sisters_convinced_the_Bali_govt_to_ban_plastic_bags.mp4 (twice!), https://www.hbd-cm.com/vid/Meet_The_Creator_Of_Coconut_Jerky_Startup.mp4, and some other video crud that was not even visible in my window. Somewhat disturbingly, opera indicates having blocked content from insecure sources. Looking at the console log, it mostly complains about http requests that should've been served via https, but since there are about 1300 errors reported, it is not clear whether that's all that is to it... Seriously, guys, this kind of uncontrollable bandwidth hijacking is not acceptable...

A week ago, I've banned an individual from a club. Today, I got another request from the same person to join that club. I believe that in V2, once a person was banned, it would be impossible for that person to re-apply. Has this policy changed, or is it a bug?

I recently wasn't able to accept a draw on an android phone. I clicked on it and it disappeared. I still have two old offers that are stuck on my notifications that I rejected. They won't disappear, even though the game is over.

I've been wanting to know whether this is a good idea or not for online doubles or tag pair live chess, because this could be Good in working together with interpretation of moves online from a random chess partner. This can help you develop a greater sense of problem solving in unexpected situation, I believe this is another step forward for chess.com . Even though there's four player chess, I say tagged pairs will work best. You can create more online tournaments with GMs, FMs and IMs... hereby this will give us an idea of how some chess players work out of situations...

Hi, I noticed my rating is incorrect. I'm using Firefox on Beta version. My rating is supposed to be 1235

The 'Top Menu' option does not work when going to live chess. In the Forum click on 'Top Menu' Go to Live chess The menu goes to the left The option 'Top Menu' is gone Click on 'Expand' Go back to Forum The menu is still on the left

Hi Guys, When we report bugs on the Beta version, we don't get any sort of confirmation or ticket number to say it's gone through and will be attended to. I've reported a few bugs and I'm unsure on the status of them, if they have been looked at or if they've even been logged at all, I'm sure it has. From a user perspective though, it would be nice to see our bugs reported and the status of them. Best regards, Silent Knight.

To reproduce the difference in behaviors, set the privacy preferences to the followng: V2 setting: <Only my friends> can share messages with me V3 setting: Send and Receive Messages <Only my friends> With the above settings, in V2, trying to send a message to someone who accepts all messages, like I do, will produce this (completely incorrect) alert: Oops?! We noticed the following errors in your form:This user only accepts messages from friend...: In V3, the message goes through. Note that the setting implies that messages can be sent only to friends. Several problems: V2 message is highly misleading and causes unnecessary aggravation to the sender. While I understand that no bug fixing is being done in V2, replacing the outright lie with accurate information should be a quick and safe fix. V3 behavior is inconsistent with what the setting text promises. Bundling setting/receiving to be controlled with the same switch makes no sense. People should be able to send messages to staff and moderators without 'friending' them. I think the V3 behavior is actually correct, and all it needs is to change the text in the https://www.chess.com/settings/privacy screen to something like "Receive Messages From <Only my friends>. I see no reason why one would want to restrict their own ability to send messages, even this is what V2 has been doing. If this is done, then replacing the misleading message in V2 with something like "you set privacy setting so that you can send messages only to your friends. This is a bug in V2; please use V3 to communicate with that person." should be considered. It should take about a minute to fix it...
