New Site Design Feedback

Thank you, Martin, but I am using IE9 and I havent touched the string or altered anything on that level...

Besides, my point is that, irrespective of all this, the banner does not belong there!... The Home Page already feels all over the place as it is, let us not make it worse...

I think Martin_Stahl is probably right himath2009, we are not seeing that alert to change browsers, and our a alignment is fine. The fact that you are getting that notification and your alignment is not fine does suggest you need to change it to the recommended browser to fix the problem you're getting.

I agree it probalby shouldn't be there for you since you are already using a newer browser. For those that are on an older version (I have seen one person saying they are on Firefox 3.6 -- newest version is 11) then the notification is probably warranted. Especially since older versions can cause rendering issues, similar to what you are seeing.

I'll try to test with 9 later today and see what I get; see if I get the notification or rendering issues.

No one cares who your friends are.

You see, Brad, thats exactly the point, i.e. we shouldnt be forced to dig so deep into all this technical stuff only to get our new interface (which was doing just fine before) in order...

I couldnt care less about the comparative advantages of one browser vis a vis another... I just want to press the green button and play chess... All this technical things are means to an end... And if it gets to the point that, instead of us being able to pursue our end, we waste our days over the means, something is badly amiss here...

The Machine should be the extension of the Hand, not the other way around!...

I think I found another bug: I have lots of notes in an online chess game, and I've put some lines there so I won't forget them. The notes section has a bar on the right hand side and I scroll it down to see my latest line. But when I start playing the moves of my line on the analysis board, for some reason the bar jumps to the middle, and I must scroll back down again to see what I had written next. This is a very random bug, but it happens repeatedly with me, and it is very annoying, since I can play only one move at a time.

RoffleMyWafflez, the same thing annoys me - except that I don't have the movelist nor the details even at the bottom of the page! Thus I am also completely unable to flip the board.

I think chess.com have broken all boundaries on each and every level. Absolutely astonishing really. Just wish I was privy to see the flood gates open and the wealth of new members opening paid memberships and current members upgrading. 

Now that would be exciting! They wouldn't have done it if not expectations of at least doubling their turnover within the first 4 weeks. Well done guys. I lovvveeeeeeeee it : )))

Just discovered another benefit of updated site. I now know if it is my move in one of my turn-based games while I'm working the Tactics Trainer. Might have been there before but, if so, wasn't obvious to me.

Thanks again for a better product.

This is not a suggestion to change/improve anything, but it's feedback all the same: I'm so used to the old design that I always press 'x' from the upright corner of the window after tactics trainer. It's not in a new window anymore, so I have a hard time trying to remember not to close it anymore, but I hope I get accustomed to it.

@erik. Are you working on iPhone - safari design? Can you give us a termin for that, so i can find some temporary solutions.

so many posts to read through, so dont know if this had been said before. Icons are too small (play learn share forums more) cannot see any information in the tournament box, unless i mouseover. This was ok on the first update, seem to have lost the functionality during another update. Same in Chrom and IE. I like the new layout apart from the previous mentioned comments.

My friends apparently did.  Every one of them who has been online since the new site rolled out has dropped me from their friend list.  I guess being friends with me was too embarrassing of a public humiliation to suffer.

I usually only have that effect on women.  Hrm.  Oh well.

I like the new Site Design, The new Interface is friendly to use ( on PC )

Good job, Thanks !

Has anybody looked at fixing the way the site displays on apple products?  The pinch function (to resize items on the screen)  doesn't work on my iPhone, so diagrams, games, etc. don't fit on my screen.  I usually browse the blogs and articles from my phone or iPad.  Not much fun at present.

A comment was made that 1 day was too soon to cancel as owners listen to feedback. I've been here long enough to know is utter BS

Probably been mentioned already but there are too many pages on this thread to go through.

The new Online Chess section needs to remember whether you select Grid View or Table View. I don't like the grid view and want it to stay as a table but I have to change it every time I log on. Would be nice if it just remembered my preferences.

The new format is not as "smartphone" friendly as the old format, IMO....I have more memory problems than ever before. On my smartphone the last thing I need is to be seeing every board from every game I have in progress....that is just so unnecessary. The rest of the changes are no big deal.
