V3 is not an upgrade…

…and it’s not for me.

I checked back some old tweets and found that v3 is actually 4 years old now,

null

available at first only to beta users. 4 years on and still v3 is slow and clunky, still buggy everywhere, still uncomfortable on the eye, still reported problems aren’t being fixed, still doesn’t have the usability of v2 and still doesn’t have any semblance of reliability. 4 years in and still V3 is one heap of junk.

Once v4 has been rolled out and has its problems ironed out, I will be informed and will have another look at the site then, if my club-mates hang round long enough. But I fear it will look rather like V3.

Sounds like a farewell, gambit-man?

 

If so, nobody can say you didn't try...

V4 might look like V3 in some ways, but lots will be fixed to improve the experience based on various user feedback. However, it should purr like a kitten and run as smooth as V2 did, front-end performance wise...

... which means v2.

Good.  Glad it only took us 4 years to get there. 👍

V3 has poor performance, I noticed you didnt mention the piss poor UI.

Because contrary to your belief, many do prefer the new UI for its streamline navigation and general accessibility. We're always improving Chess.com, and in order to do that, eventually that means killing V2 and committing 100% of the resources to the new, more stable client.

Streamline navigation? Hahaha...It was a good job V2 was still around for the OP in this Thread...Laughing

Today, I recieved a new error message - "524 Origin Time-out" According to 'Cloud flare', chess.com's gateway, a 524 equates to: "Error 524 error indicates that Cloudflare made a successful TCP connection to the origin web server, but the origin did not reply with an HTTP response before the connection timed out. Typically, Cloudflare waits 100 seconds for an HTTP response. If the origin doesn't respond in that time, Cloudflare closes the connection and serves Error 524."

In my years of being a member here, this is a first for me.  Is this your idea of a stable platform, Tyler?
