Thank you.  That is exactly what I was looking for.  I didn't pay attention to that part of the screen.  Mine defaulted to "recent" and that is all I saw.

I did just drop this suggestion in the Redesign Feedback Group but will also drop it  here:

Re: creating themes. It would be great if staff could set up a "Sample' theme page that members can click on when trying to create a new theme, with arrows directing to headings, text, background, borders, from the actual settings that change those elements, because currently, and it has always been, it's a nightmare to try to work out which setting changes what. It's very unclear, very user unfriendly. And just doing this one page would be a great help to many, as I know so many struggle with this. I'm getting asked often how can I change the colour of the text for something. I tell them I can't remember, it's pot luck! Thanks...Smile

Hello, 

Erik team!

We used to be able to download finished games in PGN format for analysis of our own games and other player’s games.

In my case this is a very sensitive issue as I have been coaching for free here at chess.com and always reviewed at least 10 games from my new student, 3 wins, 3 losses and 4 draws to try to asses their weaknesses and needs. 

I cannot download my own games anymore or any of my new student's games for analysis. 

There used to be a box to check the games that one wants to download at the right hand side column of the finished games section and ask for a PGN download for all of the selected games which would be sent to our personal e-mail.

I cannot access this feature anymore. 

Am I going about it the wrong way? Or has this feature been removed and can be accessed to only higher premium members than my paid membership, or is it a glitch in the new design system. 

I do need this feature to keep helping new and seasoned chess players. I currently am playing about 20 games with students and cannot access PGN download except by going to each individual game and ask for a PGN, a lengthy, tedious and time consuming task.

I need to be efficient!

What can be done to restore the functionality to select and ask for a download of finished games from my own portfolio of finished games or any other player?

I also can't find out how to do it. Occasionally I need to download all my games as a PGN.

 

I was looking for it in the Game Archive which seems the most logical place for the option. There is not much point if you cannot download them all as PGN and import them in to a separate database program.

 

Also since I am a diamond member it isn't related to membership level...

I have just had another play.

 

It seems to allow it if I select the option "Turn-based Games", "Live Games" etc... from the drop down list. The download options are not available for the default value of "Most Recent Games". Smile

Following this conversation & that seems correct. I only occasionally download PGN files so usually do so direct from the game.

Using the method you outline above had headline informing me '' PGN would be generated & sent by email ? ''

Anyhow after selecting type-of-game from menu (games-archive) PGN download-button is there at top RHS...

Morning/afternoon all.  Is anyone else having trouble changing text colors on their profile?  I've tried many times, but it doesn't seem to be saving.  

Thanks!

DeepGreene, Thanks for helping me and many other members to find where to download my own PGN games. 

I do have another issue and this one is paramount to me and that is 2 to 3 days later with searching all possible avenues that I can look at with your guidance and what I know about this site I have not yet found out where to go to download other opponents games in PGN format, I am talking about the players tht I am playing games with as with my basic membership I perhaps download any games in PGN format from players that I am not currently with. 

However in the previous format design I was able to do this. 

How can you help me?

Sure. Go to the user's profile. On the right, you'll see a block for "Recent Games" - and next to that (far right) you'll see a link for their "Games Archive."

Just click that and choose the type of game you want to download.

As soon as the new site took over from the old site, I became unable to play on my Nokia N8 mobile phone. All worked fine before the new site, as soon as new site started no luck. Most of my games are played on my phone and I asked "staff" to help out. I was promised to wait and a solution would be found. I went on holiday for a long weekend and lost 12 games on time as I couldn't get a computer internet connection. Again I was promised a solution would be found in a week or so. 6 weeks later and I lost another 4 games this weekend as I had a couple of days away without access to the internet via a computer. When oh when will you be able to put back the clock and get chess.com working again on my Nokia N8?
