But @ninjaswat is correct, your account has to be at least 30 days old.
Thoughts on the New Interface? (I hate it)

I have a question: It says in the article that Beta is limited to 5000 members, but it has almost 8000. Was the rule changed?

Yes, it's a lot more than that now, though I don't know the number for sure.

This has been mentioned in other threads, but I would just like to reiterate that the Daily Chess page is gone. I haven't played Daily in a while, but I think I will get back to it soon, and understand that regular Daily players would like it to have its own page, and I don't understand removing it. However, I know that you can still create challenges from Play, and this likely won't affect me much. Thoughts?

You've said that you don't like everything about the UI, but you haven't said what you dislike.

You can turn it off without leaving Beta? Because if you can I would like to.
How do u join beta?
Oh nvm
Why can't "...More" only show what can't fit on your screen? This is definitely doable.

Because some features are not widely used or don't fit in any section.

Is anyone else annoyed with the new interface? The look might take some getting used to, but I'm really bothered that it merges home and Today, meaning my alerts are harder to see and my messages are no longer separate from alerts, which has already confused me this morning! Also, features that I used to often use such as Library and Explorer are in More. While this is a mild annoyance to me, someone who is less familiar with the site might be more inconvenienced. I could go on, such as on how it feels less intuitive, and other smaller points, but these were my main problems. What are your thoughts on the new interface?
I hate it too lol
The style has grown on me, the layout, far from it. What particularly is annoying about the Ui to you?

Martin seemed tolerant to me. I thought about asking him, but at the time it just seemed like I would be bugging him.

Just do what I did. Cancel your subscription (if you have one) and go free mode only. The changes that chess.com have made in the last year are beyond annoying and why I don't have a diamond membership anymore. Free mode and a good ad blocker. This site isn't worth paying / supporting if all they do is keep changing things for the worse
So, dislike? The UI really doesn't have anything to do with your choice to not have a premium membership. I wanted to give thoughts on a feature I didn't like, not complain about a site that I truly enjoy.

I considered replying, but I decided to wait for other opinions if I wanted to post. This thread should be enough to express my thoughts now that more people are engaging in discussion. If other people respond then I will discuss with them, but no one has.
how can i go to beta member?
Account must be older than 30 days I believe
