when will the downtime end? So when will we be able to come back on the website?


4-8 hours after it goes down. Unfortunately, we can't be more specific than that, as we don't know what types of problems we'll encounter as we go. And if we say, "it will be up at this exact time" and we are two hours late because something didn't work like it was supposed to, people will be VERY upset.


 

Ok thanks for the info, much appreciated! :-)

Don't you mean (GMT-7)?  We're still on Daylight Savings Time.

So that would mean you're going down at 4pm Universal Time, right?

If it wasn't for Chess.com going down for maintenance every once in a while, I'd never get anything done (I'm on here WAY more than I should be).  Wink

This is just a thought because I don't play that much on Saturday myself (my wife is such a slave driver, and she only has one slave to drive) but isn't Saturday a busy day, or are there a lot of other slaves out there who don't play much on Saturday so it is actually a slower day?

About 4 hours from now, about 4.5 hours from when you posted your question.

Quick question, will this pause vote chess games as well?

I have a post update question: I noticed that, in correspondence games, the piece count has changed to much larger icons. Is there any way to change this back, I don't  like having to scroll down just to get a complete piece count. 

 

Thanks,

When you say "submitting to iPhone store next week" does that mean it will be available next week or Apple will get it for their review and it'll be available whenever they get around to it?

The later, Apple has to approve EVERYTHING that gets distributed through their store.

Understood. They give you any kind of timetable? :-)

Do we need to download anything?  I know there's a new version somewhere that fixed the problem with ratings not changing with wins or losses for either of the players.  Just can't find a place to download

Thanks
