The pages are about the same. But I've only gone to about 20 pages so far and I have noticed it getting slightly faster.

One thing, the Tracking checkbox is really slow, and the first time I click it, it has been putting a check mark, but not changing the message to "Now Tracking" until I unclick it and click it again. It gave me trouble in a vote game, and then when I tried to track this, it did it again.

Other than that, everything is good.

I've also noticed it is still, as it used to, taken a while on the last 5% of the loading bar (for firefox) to load the "Post Your Reply" box.

Everything's much faster now -- especially videos, which load in < 1 min now for me (before it took over 20 minutes to load one).

It is ok the speed.

I use an icon on my main page and double click to get me on to chess.com and that still works well!

Nice to see the constant improvements that Erik and staff are doing to make our experience better!

actually  i am finding  that the  boards seem to be  loading  more slowly i.e  the pieces do not  all appear at  the  same time but appear  gradually. its  no big  deal but  surprising when we   are  being told it will be  faster.

Is it just me, or is there a bar of white on the left, and the right, of the page?

Don't know if it's related, but my blog page (only) no longer displays my avatar and flag.  I'm using IE and getting the message that certain items are not being displayed because of "security certificate errors".

I haven't noticed that the site is faster.  It's always been fast for me.

I just tried Game Explorer-5 moves each color took 12 seconds or 1.2 seconds
per move.

I tried Computer Workout and 15 moves for white and 14 moves for black took just 16 seconds or about .5 seconds per move.

Presently, the boards are loading, but without pieces on them.

I've had interruptions on the live chess today, much more than usual. I made sure to log out, delete my bookmark and re log-in via the new page then went to my home page and re bookmarked... but I'm still getting them. Maybe its local conditions here in the UK and just coincidental with the new servers but I thought I'd mention it. Frown

Everything is working great except for one detail. I used to have the chess board theme and now nothing is coming up at all and I don't know how to change it.

We made a pretty dramatic change to Chess.com today. We're now using a new service that is supposed to make everything faster, especially for non-US members. 

The first few pages might load more slowly (as the site figures out where you are and gets some initial files), but should be zippy after that. Let us know what you think!


Funny thing, no problem logging in with the new link, but all of my games display no pieces on the chess board.  This is not good.  ??

board pieces should be back! :)

 

also one user reported problems with her blog page, let me know if thats fixed.

Live chess is still fatally slow.

-- Click on a piece, mouse button stays down, move mouse, piece doesn't move with it.

-- Often times it happens that I hear a move sound and seeing the piece move doesn't happen for another second or so. Sometimes I see a piece move part of the way to its destination, pause, and then continue.
