They deleted my comment

this is the wrong place to discuss

There is no place to discuss they delete that type of comment anywhere. This is literally a feedback for change thread, i gave feedback for change and deleted.

I can't speak for the chess threads because I suck at playing but, for Off-Topic, we need more creative people. People who can turn a thread into a U-tube video, or a Broadway show. Have contest....best threads of the week, month, yr. Do the Chess.com Oscar Awards show where Erik gives a free diamond membership for a yr. wink

The recent events is this thread reminded me of another thing: preserving the indexes of posts in threads. Many people use indexes as reference to posts instead of unnecessary quoting but when posts disappear due to some reasons the replies become broken. In general I think that the complete removal of posts from threads (as if they never were there) is not a good idea, there must be some dummy post at least as an indicator. This might also help to keep all indexes in place

Allow members to have a different wallpaper for their Profile page than they do for play. Some images I'd like for my profile are too distracting for playing games.

more customization options for the colors of the peices, or being able to do our our piece/board skins

I second this, it'd be so cool!

Also, I'd personally love to see Conditional Moves and multiple premoves on the iOS app. The fact that we don't have it is completely ridiculous.

If you're using Chrome or Edge, there are extensions for this.

i didnt know, any reccomends on what you use if you do

Avatar of delcai007

Chess.com Custom Themes, Boards - ChessHelper - Chrome Web

I've never used this, since I'm fine with what we have. The only extension I use is Move Confirmation... for Live games, mainly to avoid mouse slips... like moving your King one square and forfeiting your right to castle... annoying

Honestly, I can't think of anything. Just vague ideas.
But something I always think about is to bring back the playing streak (how many consecutive days you're playing a game on the site). Mine was just 1000 d, then deactivated.
Also, What about adding a special giant cake bot for your anniversary on the site?

Make a way that You can play time odds in chess.com. That would be fun when playing against lower rated opposition (can you please tell somebody in chess.com to try to make that happen bc It would be VERY cool). I have seen streamers do it, but I cannot figure it out myself. Please tell me how If I am just being dumb. Thanks!

To not have paywalls, how come Lichess has almost the same number of users and there are 0 paywalls?

Avatar of delcai007

are you serious? approx 10 to one presently, chess.com over Lichess, and the cost to subscribe? no more than 50 cents a day, Diamond paid monthly, and as little as 10 cents, the price per member on the Friends and Family plan... i pay around a dollar for a can of cat food... and Lichess is free to use, not to operate... you are asked to contribute, though all features are free, yes, even if you choose a free ride

Maybe make the background change depending on the season/holiday??

Good idea

Avatar of RexMontana
I would make a 12 hour option for daily chess. I play a bunch of games at once of people who are content making 1 move a day, which is too slow paced.

Some things we don't have access by app, like: foruns, blogs, voted chess, etc
