Who Hates V3 the MOST? (Contest maybe...?)

There is a serious bug that has developed in v3 in the last week or so.  In the Members lists with each vote game, it is quite common to see a player listed as having a rating of 800, but if you point your mouse at their name, their rating is much higher.  And if you go to their profile page, you find that 800 is not one of the ratings they have in any category.  The interface just seems to be assigning random numbers for the ratings of the players in the list.

v2 is working fine though in this regard.

Yeah, I found out v2 reports the rating properly for the player in my above PNG as "Unrated".  Not 800.  Not 1800.  V3 is pulling data out of the internet blue and assigning ratings based on nothing.  Undecided

I sure could use an extra 1000

A STAFFer told me v3 now shows a person's Provisional Rating (800) in one screen.  The other screen shows a person's uppermost rating (1800?) in another view.

I'm not sure why a player with an Unrated ranking (i.e., never played a Daily/Online game) would have his/her highest rating from Live/Daily shown in the actual game.

I much prefer v2's rendition of just showing the player being Unrated.

In v3, in vote chess member lists, I think the players are still ordered in terms of their highest rating, but this rating is not displayed.  Instead players near the top of the list will be marked as having an 800 rating.  I think it makes more sense to display the rating used to sort the list.

I can only agree ... .  Staff may or may not alter the ordering.

Maybe Magnus Carlsen should be added to the list - “it’s just kind of difficult to play, it’s like my pieces are stuck in the mud”

Chess.com is horrifically slow these days...  Undecided

In v3 AND v2 now.  This is about all I ever see now ↴

And this is what my v3 Home Page looks like ~80% of the time ↴

 took 10 seconds for your snip to load...

do you also get oversized letters where icons should be, before the icons load up?

Guys, for those of you with slow loading issues, I would REALLY like to get in touch with you personally and see what is going on. First off, make sure you are NOT using Beta (in your settings). I am going to get a plan for you. Some of you have some very unique issues. I'll have some answers soon. The fact that you are seeing slow loading assets from our CDN (images.chesscomfiles.com is hosted by Cloudflare, the world's 2nd largest CDN) is concerning!

I have tried to get to chess.com/classic, but all I see are options for chess.com.  I do not know if I ever have been to successfully enter classic, so I can't offer an opinion on it.  Then, when I get v3, i select the option to go back to v2 every time.  I assume that I go from v3 to v2 by doing this, never even getting the chance to get into classic.  Let me see if I can get into classic one more time.  Should there be an option to click on v2, v3, or classic?  Would that help??

@Erik - I was told to go and switch ON "Beta" mode.  Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to tell JDCannon all the issues I run in to with v3.
