Tactics trainer has no move navigation arrows, and no way to get the next problem. I literally get one problem, and then have to restart the trainer to get another. Also, in trying to post this, I had to revert out of beta. Traditional version: convenient 'post new topic button' at top of page... who-da thunk it?! New version: 5 minutes of frustration, followed by leaving beta.
I'm using Firefox 9.0.1. Anyone else see these problems?

Noticing on the Friends page that one has snuck past my premium membership:

Any other spots out there where this is happening?

hi, I like the look of the new colors and format. Everything seemed to run ok, there is text "last problem" but no button to select. Also no score.

big improvement in tactics trainer. before trying to read thru a source analysis, with out the aid of a board was too burdensome to be worth the time. now, opening the analysis board, the source is also included.

The new view of "my current online games" is pretty cool but the text of the game name (blue) runs into the text of the time remaining (black) under the games when the name is long:

Is it possible to allow the user to choose a default for the forum diagrams? Having the poster choose rather than the reader seems to be a bit confused -- after all, the reader is the one who needs to be able to see the diagram clearly.
Just a thought.

When entering a comment in the forum, in what I believe is called an "edit box control" in old WIndows GUI programming parlance, the cursor sometimes disappears entirely on me. This makes it rather difficult to edit my comments! It doesn't happen *all* the time (cursor is properly present as I type this), but *sometimes* goes away (it disappeared on the post I wrote a minute ago about tactics trainer). I suspect that the left/right/up/down cursor keys might trigger the disappearance but I can't yet figure out a sequence to reproduce it. Firexfox 10.0.1 and also 9.something.

Does it matter what themes we are using for beta testing (i.e. do we need to use the standard theme)? I am seeing some elementary style problems (e.g. items overlapping) which could be just a theme problem.

Joining the beta doesn't seem to hold on my XP machine with Firefox 3.6.26. After each log in, I have to go to the invite email (if I want to use the new design) and click on the link again.
On my 64-bit W7 machine with Firefox 9 or 10, that is not a problem.

I created a new group. When I am in beta I can not visit the home page for the group I created. When I drop out of beta I can visit it just fine.

I've seen this a few times and I might be wrong but the Ready Games arrows disappear on the second to last game instead of the last game.
It might be one of my games got a new move at some point in between. Its hard to tell from my end. I'd just keep the arrows around and just have them go back to the echess home screen instead of disappearing if there are no more games.

I had to drop out of the beta until the Tactics Trainer problems are fixed.
While on the Tactics Trainer topic, I would really like to have the TT and Chess Mentor Elos made public.

When I am plying one of my onine games and I want to go to the next ready game where it's "MyMove", none of the 3 options in the oval drop down work. If I remember correctly the options are something like: "Go ro next Ready Game", "Go To MyOnline Chess", "Stay on this Game".
Additionally, why would I need an option to do nothing. If I want to stay on the current game I wouldn't be looking for somethiing to click

If you add a YouTube video to your member home page it's not visible even though there's a YouTube button to insert the video.
It allows you to save the video insertion but when checking the member home page the video isn't there.
Also, once you try and add a new video to your home page, and save the change, all previous YouTube videos on your home page disappear.

I attempted to access the Chess Mentor feature. It said I needed to be a diamond member, but on the same page it showed my name with the diamond next to it. On the page it also said something about $94.xx credit. I wasn't sure if it was a problem with my account or the new beta, so i dropped out momentarily and tried again. Mentor worked fine out of beta mode. So i rejoined beta to Screenshot and get the url. Now it seems to work fine. Perhaps others should attempt this also for the screenshot. The url should be the same url that asks you to join chess.com as a premium member when you click on Chess Mentor.
