Rating filter and number of online users

Sort:
bhdr11

Hi,

In the past, I was able to specify a rating range before hitting "start game" button. Now this is not possible. (I can only specify rating range for the graph). 

And what i see on the graph is not a lot of people. Is there a decrease in number of chess.com users online?
