I can't figure this one out...

Does anyone know what is the significance of the '3' in the screen cap below? This comes from the http://www.chess.com/daily page in V3.

Feel free to use this thread for other puzzling findings that might not merit a bug report...

Probably the standard 3 days per move time control)

I think you're right -- gotta be a generic representation of a calendar.

However, thanks to your screen cap above, now I am really confused, because I do not see anything like the above on my home page.

We're talking http://www.chess.com/home/ -- right? Gotta be, since http://www.chess.com/members/view/LegoPirateSenior shows only "This feature has been temporarily disabled. Check back soon!"

Anyway, my home page shows only this:

No matter how many times I clear caches, cookies, site data, restart the browser, and do all the usual reset-type things -- that's all that I ever see. I thought that this is just a temporary state, but now I suspect that there is some serious snafu here -- that state of the home page is more appropriate for a very early alpha test rather than beta.

Where do you see that thing you posted earlier??

Aha, I found it. I have invisible buttons on the page. I opened Safari's development tools, and found several invisible buttons. This cannot be captured via the feedback tool, hence here I go with examples. I don't feel like making a movie of my inspection, but there seem to be a dozen or more clickable things in that empty area...

Incidentally, loading home page produces this error in the Safari Web Inspector:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://betacssjs.chesscomfiles.com/js/angular-busy.map

Bingo! You have ongoing games -- I do not. I started clicking the empty space to see what could happen, and managed to accept some challenge. Once the system noticed that I have started daily game, it displayed the missing stuff, clickable ratings, my user notes, et.c. -- all the stuff that was sorely missing and that I thought was still unimplemented...

However, even now there are some more invisble clickable things on the home page:

There was a place there where clicking empty space would pop up a menu -- I lost it before getting a screen cap, tried to find it again, and in the process managed to accept another challenge, and issue one of my own.

Feels like playing Russian roulette, blindfolded, in the dark room.

If you use Chrome, does it display the same?

https://www.google.com/intl/en_US/chrome/browser/?platform=mac

I tried Chrome (from a Windows7 machine), Internet Explorer (ditto), Firefox (Windows and Mac) -- all with the same result -- there are invisible clickable items between 'Lessons' and the bottom of the window.

I just checked this out, when you click on the them... scroll up.  Do you see a challenge ready to be sent to one of your friends, like this?  I think those clickie spots are supposed to show your friends.  I'll send in a report!

It is possible that some of them create a challenge to friends, but the challenge dialog that your post is showing did not show up for me -- instead, I saw a green bar saying something like "you have accepted a challenge and a new game has been created." Definitely, something else is (also) lurking in that area. 

BTW, yesterday, I set my limit of online games to one, hoping that this would disable the accidental acceptance (since I already have one online game ongoing), but that did not prevent me from accepting someone's open challenge. Also, my online settings specify minimum 14-days/move, so even if the clicky thingies were visible, they should not be including any games with 2- or 3-days/move (which is what the results of accidental acceptances were).

If you're going to send in a report, note also that the green bar mentioned in the first paragraph disappeared automatically after about 10 seconds, so I did not manage to capture it. I am not convinced that this type self-disappearing notifications should be used in this part of the UI -- after all, if I were to be distracted by something, I might not have noticed that green bar at all. The bar had an 'X' to dismiss it manually, so the automatic disappearance was rather surprising and not necessary.

[EDITED LATER] In the first version of this post, I had an impression that the V3 game interface was missing any control to abort the accidentally accepted game, but it turns out that a flag-shaped control (which I interpreted as 'resign') does abort the game ...

Since you mention the flag icon, I'd like to point out that none of the new icons seem to have tooltips.  I interpreted that flag as resign, so it's probably correct, but using an interface should not require so much mental effort.  Hope to see the tooltips before it goes live.

I have seen tooltips two days ago, on the icons in the left toolbar, but today they are not there any more...

I sent mine in yesterday, you should send in yours with what your screen looks like as I'm using Chrome and I don't see the green thingie you see :)

@Blackenne  - Indeed, I sent that report in (as a note attached to a non-disappearing green thingie :-)

BTW, I reproduced the challenge acceptance in Chrome, too. Here's a snapshot from my report, if you feel like trying it. I suspect it might be at approximately the same location on your screen. If you click there and quickly scroll up, the auto-disappearing green thingy should be at the top of the screen...

It seems that the problem with the invisible buttons has been fixed.

THANKS !!

               Invisible buttons??    Thank god you guys know what your doing. Trolls would have a field day with this.     auto-disappearing green thingy

One of the web tester techniques is to slowly move the mouse over the screen and see when it changes pointer styles.  This usually indicates there is "something" at that location.
