I do not think there is a "Quote" or "Reply" feature in blogs, only in forums. I think it should be added. If it already exists, can you please tell me how I can do it?

Avatar of Patzer24

There is no "quote" feature in the blogs yet but the "reply" feature in the blogs is the "Add your comment:" at the bottom of the blog.

It is not the same. By the way, it would be also nice to be able to view the comments by threds, i.e. when comments and replies are grouped together.

Two more:

 

  •  It would be nice to have the title of the daily puzzle on the main page -- it often provides some insight into the objective or theme of the puzzle and I often find I have to click through the the puzzle thread (and wait for it to load) to see it.
  • This one's  a pet peeve of mine I've developed while composing puzzles:  Once you do the intial board setup and click through to add the moves for a puzzle there's no way to go back and modify the board if you've made a mistake.  I've had to start over repeatedly because of this, numerous times for something as simple forgetting to click "Black to Move" before trying to enter moves.  It would be great to have the initial board setup as just another tab on the puzzle composition window so that you can go back and correct your mistakes without having to start over.

I wish there was a feature that let Loomis decide whether or not you have to resign because he understands chess better than Tal and Morphy combined!!

what about total player time spent to play in by turn games? just to have a reference.

I didn't dig through the whole thread, so I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned:

While it's nice to know whether your opponent is online, that animated icon is slowly driving me nuts. It's just a little distracting... The same thing static and I could much better focus on the game!

Another easy one:

Once I've completed a puzzle (particularly after I've given up and clicked Show Solution) it would be good to have a button right on the puzzle to restart.  Currently that button dissapears as soon as the puzzle is done or the Show Solution button is clicked and I have to refresh the page to re-start the puzzle.

How about a count of how many users are currently online on the main page?  I would give a quick visual of how active the site is at any given point in time.

i would like to receive an email *every time* it's my move, not just once per login. i keep my computer always logged in to chess.com. instead of visiting the website to see if it's my move, i'd just like to receive an email.

I'd like to see Chess960 here with seperate ratings. Could be lots of fun :)

I am a genius!!(in some parallel universe)
We could write our own chess book!!!(all openings, middle games and end games)

example:

There are forum topic about openings and defences but they are too unorganised to find information and learn from them efficiantly. . .

Members would post openings and opinions and administrators would  collect them, arrange them properly and post them in forum or article. . .

 Nice idea, what about a chess.com wiki for this matter?

 we HAVE a chess.com wiki! it is called Chessopedia! (http://www.chess.com/chessopedia/) if only people would use it more...

To erik: it is nice to have something like that but it is still not arranged properly. . . it is too disorderly posted (players should be able to find opening that they are loking for easily and not have to go through 62 pages of posts. . .etc.)
