I got an alert that there were 51 new posts to this thread - https://www.chess.com/forum/view/suggestions/old-chesscom-version?newCommentCount=51&page=8 Click on the link, takes me to that page... seems the page has been truncated. Try the next page... WTF? next page... Have these 51 new posts been deleted or did they ever exist?

This issue was raised a long time ago, then further raised directly with a staff member 3 months ago... When inserting a game into forum posts, when that game contain analysis lines, those lines of analysis get skewed out of their natural position. For example, this game played earlier today... The offset seems to happen in the insert game dialog. It happens throughout, but in the snip below i'll draw attention to black's 11th move, 11...axb6. The actual analysis on ChessBase gives 3 engines all saying axb6 as the strongest move, but for some reason when it is inserted those lines are replaced with others which simply don't belong.

In v2, on your home page, there is a panel with your list of groups on, it used to be listed in order of members those groups had. In v3 originally, this sorting was changed so that most recently visited clubs (no longer called groups) were shown at the top of the order. Recently, this ordering has changed too, there appears to be no discernible order for these to be sorted, they seem to be n a random order. In the past few days there seems to be some transfer of this ordering to forum posts. This page used to list the 3 most recent posts within each of the categories, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more. I started a new topic yesterday within the "Chess players" category, and still it is the 2nd most recent post within that category, but it has never appeared on the "this page" linked above. Many have complained that in v3 the forums (both general and within groups) have seen a marked reduction in activity. I happen to know that a lot of folks can't find the forums, but it also looks like the basic functioning of the forums doesn't work properly.

On my I phone I am stuck in v3 and can't get to v2. I also cannot get any message to open in v3 on my phone. I have posted in two different forums and got no help.

just stumbled upon this article - https://www.chess.com/article/view/how-does-alphazero-play-chess i scrolled to the bottom of the page and clicked on "last" (page), but it is unresponsive. As a workaround, i tried page 2, but it's also unresponsive. Same goes for the next page arrow >...

Hello I noticed that if you go to a profile page and you click on "Games" fast enough before the page has finished loading, it will only show current games, and game archive will never load. It was easier to reproduce in Firefox 57 but does also happen in Opera 49 I don't think this has been reported yet. Have a nice day

Hi everybody. The "Edit" button has now become visible for fixing the Topic name.If it was there - I missed it. Or maybe it wasn't there.

I am trying to find a member by their surname... - share/members... https://www.chess.com/members On the right-hand-side is the search panel... i enter his surname, select United Kingdom from the dropdown countries list, click search... i am presented with a list of hits... none stand out as being obvious, i click through the first name on the list... not the one i was looking for... click back... back to the start again, i have to re-enter the name and country...

For the past few days while using my Android phone and Chrome browser, when I arrive at my home page the home button is distorted... The alerts alarm bell is unresponsive, one cannot directly access the alerts. Sure there is a workaround by going to another page first, but that's more clicks /taps...

I'm having a hard time pinning this one down and deciding.   Spacebux Chungle GeneralChang gambit-man Each one has their specific angle.  Spacebux, you have been excoriating in rich detail, which I have actually appreciated. Many of your comments though have helped, so that may hurt your chances. However, you have maintained an aura of flabbergastedness which I truly admire.  Chungle, you have certainly expressed the most sheer disgust. I have also appreciated your feedback, including the 45 minute youtube video you created, which really did encourage me to make many changes. Still, the degree of horror that you have shown may tip the scales in your favor.  GeneralChang, you have been, by far, the most condescending. Additionally, I have been genuinely wowed by the conspiracy theories. Also in your favor is that I have not gotten to many specific comments, mostly just feelings. Your avatar does also help your cause.  Gambit-man, you have been the most disappointed of all. And maybe that's what has hurt the most. Your comments have been legitimate, and while I haven't always agreed, I have acted on many of them. The entire extension project was prompted by you (apparently it is also too resource-intensive for some machines...). Again, your sincerity has certainly given you gravitas in this contest.  Those are my thoughts anyway. Am I missing anyone? There are others who have been deeply saddened, critical, and upset. But I'm trying to find the ONE who really, really, really earns the title of "Greatest Opponent of V3". I will offer a prize for the winner.  What do you think? 

...titled tuesday... click on "standings"... nothing happens...

I have seen several people commenting here about diminished club activity. I'd love to hear some thoughts on that. We have kept clubs in the navigation bar, and on your /home page. And the design of clubs is very similar as well. Are there any specific designs or workflow changes that you have seen between V2 and V3 that you think may be responsible? I'd love your feedback. Thanks!

why is it that, despite resizing my board to a more comfortable size, when i return to each Daily game it returns to full size?

1. I look at the list of Daily tournaments, there are currently 447 open for registration. I click on the "upcoming" bar through to the list. I scroll down and click on "more" 12 times over, the system doesn't allow for any more. At 20 tournament listings per page that's a total of 260 tournaments on the list. What happens with the other 187? Seems to me that unless you receive an invite it is not possible to view or join these tournaments... 2. From the list of open tournaments i filter for thematic tournaments C960 tournaments are also shown in this category. Is this really the way it was intended?

I saw this forum post - https://www.chess.com/forum/view/livechess/3-minutes-per-move-chess and had a look at the time control options... first thing i noticed was the number of clicks just to get to the custom option. click on "custom challenge", click on "3/2" to show more time controls, click on "more" to show yet more time controls, click on "custom" to set custom time controls... Then, the fields for custom controls show 3 and 2, as shown above. I presume those to be minutes for the first field and seconds for the second, based on 3+2 being the common blitz format these days. But it really isn't very clear at all. And i haven't tried to follow it through, but my guess is that you won't know whether you've set the challenge right until you have started your game. The two fields should ideally indicate whether they mean minutes or seconds, especially since (as i think they are) they represent two different units of time...

...and after making my move on the board the right hand panel looks like this - Is it supposed to look this way?

whilst looking at this page - https://www.chess.com/article/view/titled-tuesday-what-you-need-to-know i clicked on this link which took me to a player's profile... https://www.chess.com/member/submit_title_proof

This is an ongoing game, so careful not to talk about the play... I've reached this position in my game and naturally am using the analysis feature in the panel on the right hand side. It's a sharp position, so i want to look at several lines... Unfortunately, there is very little space to list the moves of any variations i want to check out before playing my move. There is space only for 4 lines of moves, only 3 if i want to keep the moves already played in view. Space for just 8 moves... Sure, i can resize the panel on the right hand side by resizing the board, but the board is already at a size that is comfortable to me...
