 I don't want to winge about the same complaints/gripes I have with the new site, I'm sure some people are sick of hearing me say them. :)

*waves to someone in particular* ;)

I think we should complain and gripe all we can about the new interface as long as we do it in a constructive way that passes useful information on to staff so they will know what the problems are to which they should direct their attention and efforts.

Thanks for fixing the game notes! It's much easier to use them now.

By the way, there's a new bug here at the forums. The pages are shown as:

"Previous |1... 1718192021222324252627| Next"

meaning that there is no space between the page numbers. This is pretty confusing but probably easy to fix.

FORAA

For the last time i will remind my most painful problem with the new design and then i am untracking this, because i think it's a little deviating from the target.

"i still cannot use iphone for this site. and thats really important for me."

thank you for all efforts.

best regards to all.

Are we no longer able to sort the members of a group as we could in the old user interface? Now we seem to be stuck with their being sorted only by newest members. Being able to sort members in various ways is an obviously useful feature and should be restored as part of the new interface.

You can sort in groups. From what I gather, if you are an admin you can do it from the Manage Members link and if you aren't you can go to the Members page link (of the group) and click on the search box arrow, without entering any search criteria; that will give you a drop down sorting option.

Please go back to old design and format. My own personal comments :

  1. You move your mouse a little bit and things keep popping up everywhere automatically. Before you had to click on what you wanted.
  2. Tactics trainer no longer features personal timings per each problem after completion, so you could compare your time immediately.
  3. It took me several attempts to post this message. Got it right more by luck, comment box opens but nothing can be inserted.
  4. Everything is too bright and colourful, like an Indian bazaar (no disrespect to our Indian members !)
  5. Erik, I suggest as this is a member site and I guess the subscribing members put food on your table, please put this issue to a vote.
  6. My personal vote : The old format was 100 % perfect. Please go back to it.
  7. Next time you have too much time on your hand, don't change your site. Learn a foreign language, take up some sport or watch some dvd's.

Makes it better for ads and revenue, the core reason is suspect.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.

The new format is VERY BUSY with things "popping up" all the time, unfortunately.

It does, if you have Show Timer turned on in your settings.  If you have that unchecked it won't show the time it took to complete the tactic. That isn't saying whether or not that should be the way it works, just that is how it currently works.

I've just tried to send a message containing an image. I was unable to resize the image. I sent it anyway and no image appeared.

Is there a problem with images?

I would appreciate it if we had the option of keeping our friends list private. Thanks.

it's great you can now see average rating for members back again. 

am looking at this group now and can see average rating  but can't see how many team matches and vote chess games they have going.

http://www.chess.com/groups/home/iexclcreature-squad

Here is what I see for Creature Squad as a non-member:

View Members Challenge Team Match Challenge to Vote Chess Contact Group Leader
Matches in Progress: 38
Vote Chess in Progress: 8
Avg. Rating: 1558
I can see those elements of information on all home pages of groups of which I am not a member--at least the few I checked. I assume they would all be the same.

Who else thought chess.com had changed their font in the new design?

I think because of the colour scheme and the layout changes that 'everything' looked so different to me, but Erik has assured me the font is exactly the same.

I think, I´ll write this text with my favorite and most used color of mine; orange.

The reason to this action is, I have failed to use COLOR ORANGE since Chess.com exchanged from alpha to this beta-format.

The COLOR ORANGE is one of my Group KingFischer 64´s symbol´s, Kingfisher´s, color, which We have used very much. In fact, all KF-Texts had it.

Has Chess.com occupied / reserved COLOR ORANGE for only themselves ???!!!

If that´s the truth, I propose Chess.com will remove the COLOR ORANGE from the color palette.
