I sent a bug report on this, but got to thinking maybe I'm just overlooking something. Before, I could do things such as "set focus" by right-clicking on the move. I could also add text by jut typing it in. Now I can do neither. In order to make it work, I've been doing posting the game in a blog in v2,/setting the focus, etc./saving it as a preview/ switching back to v3/ going into edit-mode to copy/ deleting the blog post/ pasting the game were I originally wanted it/ changing the "style" to a v3 style (I can't do all this in the forum since there is no preview option there - but even if there was, as there should be, it would be a time-consuming work-around, just less time-consuming). Am I missing some other way to "set focus" or add text other than putting it in the original pgn?

I have found out that while there is a pawn, queen, knight, bishop and rook trophy there is not a king one could we please add it in or show me where it is in case i missed it. Could we also have a material odds trophy. thx

Lots of people report abuse (especially women) on chess.com because they put their real face as their real face as their avatar and get all sorts of comments. Today, I came across an member who had put their picture as something...... well not appropriate for some people and can cause them to face abuse and comments. That is the woman's fault. She put a real bad picture so don't you think V3 should have a thing where the avatars cant go so far? They can often insult people. I can tell the members name to whichever staff replys. Just a suggestion

Live Matches, like you've seen for the PRO Chess League, will be coming to all clubs in the near future. This will give us two types of club matches. Live, and Daily. One of the questions we have about this is whether we should have separate Top Player Leaderboards for each format, or whether a club's Top Players should include all Match points, regardless of whether they were earned in Daily or Live Matches. Thoughts?

Hi I really like the stats provided in the Top players list. But is it possible to implement an option to sort the "top players" by period of time. Sometimes it would be fun to give some members thropy etc if they have been active for a month etc etc.

It is showing only one club on my homepage and that is a club I am not in. When I click on clubs it doesn't show that club. Probably some sort of bug which needs fixing. Thanks

Please let us know which icon you would prefer for the Chess.com app. Take this survey here: Chess.com App Icon

When I click Completed Vote Chess Games of a group,its showing- "Missing Page"

Just try to underline in your comment! I mean, when posting a New Topic, we have a wide array of options at our disposal. Why aren't all those options allowed at comments, as well? It's really boring to have to: Open up new window Go to my blogs Post new topic window Go back to previous window Cut content Paste in new window Underline it Select it Cut it again Back to previous window Paste it, now properly underlined When I could simply: Select content Click U

It would be nice if you could join a recently-started tournament. There's not much point to letting you join with only 1-2 rounds to go, but if you've only missed the first 1-2 rounds, it would be nice to be able to join with zero points from the early rounds. Your chances of catching the leaders would be low, but finishing 5/5 in a seven round tournament might still put you in the medals.

I wasn't sure where to put it because I don't think it is a problem with V3. I reported abuse about a member who is being extremely rude. It has been 4 days since I sent the first message, 1 day since I sent the second message and I sent another one today. This is really serious and I don't believe in blocking because I just don't feel right doing it. But now chess.com staff decides not to reply. I have been checking my email daily but I still have not gotten the reply. What is this delay?! I agree I may have given a few harsh replies but I am trying my absolute best to reply to this member in a nice way. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I think when someone reports abuse or a bug, the answer should be sent on chess.com because it would be more convinient as emails aren't seen right away or first work emails are checked then chess.com emails or someone might delete the email or send it to spam by mistake. What do you think?

Currently, when dividing up players into groups, they are sorted by rating and then allocated as follows (using a 16-player tournament with groups of four to illustrate): Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Player 1Player 5Player 9Player 13 Player 2Player 6Player 10Player 14 Player 3Player 7Player 11Player 15 Player 4Player 8Player 12Player 16 This has the rather obvious effect of making Group 1 considerably stronger than Group 4. The difference could even encourage small-scale sandbagging, as Player 5 might try to drop a couple games to chop his rating down so he becomes Player 8. A better method that would result in all groups being about the same average strength would be to use a snaking system: Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Player 1Player 8Player 9Player 16 Player 2Player 7Player 10Player 15 Player 3Player 6Player 11Player 14 Player 4Player 5Player 12Player 13 This system will result in all groups being roughly equivalent. It also discourages sandbagging, as, if anything, you'll tend to get a stronger group. For example, if Player 5 drops down to become Player 8, the bottom two members of the group will average about the same, but his top opponent will now be Player 1 instead of Player 4.

As far as I can tell, Chrome and Opera have problems rendering posts that include wide tables. They render them so that the text overflows to the right of the space assigned to the posts. Here is a snapshot from the bug submission I've sent in moments ago: I did not do exhaustive testing, but this seems to be reproducible on all operating systems that support Chrome or Opera. On the other hand, Firefox, Safari, and IE all render the tables correctly, by squishing the whitespace so that everything fits nicely. The workaround described in the above snapshot also seems to work everywhere I tried.

I joined this group to share this idea. To make it easier for admins and super admins to invite people, why not we removed the icon which indicates the sending an invitation for a group for people who don't accept invites. That way , the person who is inviting won't need to click on it, write the whole invite, send it and realize that the person does not accept invites.

... to see whether the bug seen by @batgirl is a fluke or something more persistent.

I am happy with v3,its almost perfect. Still many users use V2. V3 links wont load in v2 which causes a big problem in groups. Whenever I put up a v3 link for a match they say it wont load in v2 and asks for the v2 link.This makes me go back to v2. Whereas the v2 link works both for v2 and v3. Could the staffs make the v3 links applicable for v2 too? Sorry if this has already been posted.

This may not be an issue for most people, but for me it's a major one. I write fairly long articles that extend way down the page.  I often change font color.  When I select text and click on the new font color (actually, it happens in I select "bold" or any other text attribute), the text does change but the cursor jumps to the top of the page (which scrolls up with the cursor) and I have to search from my place. Since I alter the text dozens of times in a single article, this becomes very annoying, very time-consuming, very quickly.   I have sent in several bug reports on this over the past several months, but to no avail.

When I try to post a puzzle the screen turns blank. What should I do?
