To understand the above list it would be helpful to know the difference between blue hooks, green arrows and red dots.

Yes I was wondering that!

That doesn't make a difference in the work done. They are just ticket categories: Bugs, Tasks, and Improvements

Just to get it right: Blue hooks are tasks, green arrows are improvements and red dots are bugs?

Red is bug, green is feature/enhancement, and blue is task.

Where do I go to see what percentage of vote chess games a particular club has won?

Avatar of VirtualKnightJoakim

Below works for both your own clubs and clubs you are not member of. Click:

1) Club Events
2) Past Events
3) More
4) Filter by "Vote Cheess"

Avatar of VirtualKnightJoakim

That is quit a lot of clicks though. A good enhancement may be to include stats by event type when you click "Club Events"?

Avatar of wayne_thomas

Oh I see.

So it list events won and total events, but not how many games were drawn?

Another project we probably don't have waited for:
https://www.chess.com/news/view/opera-launches-new-custom-chess-browser

  • While clubs, their admins and leagues on Chess.com are suffering for years already ...,
  • while it is difficult to get Chess.com's attention to fix all these annoying bugs, to finally complete code for projects like Multi Club Arenas or adding some missing functionality ...,
  • while we just got three weeks ago (in addition to our already existing problems) an incomplete club redesign with more wrong decisions and introduced difficulties than new features ...,
  • while it has become more and more difficult to manage clubs and leagues during 2023,

we all get something now, which I've never heard someone asking for.

Wonder if that is the exciting new thing we are getting. For this rushed club redesign.

Original item A6 Daily Match Top Players report doesn’t seem to be addressed in JD Cannon’s list.

This menu option report was used by club admins to honour their best performers, as it gives their members’ records whist playing in club matches.

Daily Match Top Players report was also a useful tool to look at other clubs’ players in upcoming matches to evaluate team strength.

This report stopped working many months ago and since then, the list contains very low random points values, relating to nothing obvious.

Has the killing of this useful tool ever been acknowledged by chess.com?

The menu option has been replaced by “Top Players” list showing these random low points values under our menu options:

Agree. We used it regularly to give out awards for participation. Now it’s gone. Can we have it back please.

Fun fact: Chess.com's new partner Opera is owned since 2016 by a Chinese holding. What sounds relatively dubious and is already a good reason to stay away from this browser, is from Chess.com's point of view a "partnership with leading web innovator Opera": Not sure, if I really want to know in detail how chinese web innovation works and feel ...

What I would like to see ticketed (from this forum):

 

Notifications:

  • Send notifications for Multi Club Arena challenges to club admins
  • Send notifications for upcoming Multi Club Arenas to club members
  • Send notifications for new forums to App users
  • Send notifications for new comments to announcements, forums and match comments to App users, if activated
  • Fix delayed distribution of notifications
  • Fix inprecise showings for first new comments and first unread messages 
  • Create internal auto check system for notifications
  • Give general priority to tickets about notifications

 

Club communication:

  • Reduce risks for clubs admins being muted
  • Create a real „Help Access″ (24/7) for muted club admins 
  • Make sure, that content of Super Admins don't get hidden in their clubs
  • Make sure, that content don't get hidden in competitions
  • Design and develop a tool, which allows sending messages to defined groups of members (e.g. „online now″, rating from x to y, at least x games played for the club, already having played in matches with „defined text″ in match names, excluding [member name, member name ...] ….)

 

Multi Club Arenas:

  • Fix: Live server restarts let disappear pending challenges (in progress 22/09, finished 20/10)
  • „Eligible scorers″ aren't taken into account for offline shown results (which are generally unrelated to correct online results and tinkered from a spreadsheet)
  • Create another (complete and finally reliable) presentation of club and individual results without downloads needed
  • Create an access, which allow copying and pasting lists of participating clubs (complete or partially) from one Arena to one or several (!) others
  • Create an Arena description, which allows Arena creators giving additional (and editable) information about the context of the Arena.
  • Show all parameters of completed Multi Club Arenas. (added 12/10/23)

 

Vote chess games:

  • Fix access to opening explorer
  • Fix showing votes after having voted
  • Introduce chat/messenger for short time controls
  • Add a comfortable section for vote chess games in players' home pages

 

Players' home pages:

  • Bring back customization
  • Add some kind of „pre-registrations″: If new event appears, players should have an option like „remind me″ (e.g. 72 hours before the start of daily matches)

 

Club redesign: 

Will add a list based on comments in „Club redesign: Five questions to @jdcannon

 

Divers:

  • Daily matches: Fix „invisible pieces″ bug 
  • Messaging (mobile browser): loading all previous messages (e.g. from @chesscom), creates "flickering", which may last hours
  • Messaging (App): Enlarge text field, if needed. Add option to send pictures

You'll find in the previous comment my list with 27 points, which I would like to see ticketed to normalize the situation of clubs, their admins and leagues (other than all these corrections, which are needed to undo the damage received with club redesign: They will need another list).

Club communication:

Would the last part "Design and develop a tool..." solve all the problems (if admins could not be muted by using that tool)?

From the "Today's situation for clubs, their admins and leagues" in "Club Admins":
