I cannot play on chess.com and there's a lot of things I cannot do on chess.com why?

I can't even report a bug using my computer. Now that's a pretty big fail...

You'd think that if there was a known issue that effected a large part of the user community, it would be prominently displayed on the main screen with current/often updates on the problem resolution. That's how a lot of organizations inform frustrated users.

When you drag your mouse on the left side do it show you anything?

I think it works now

I type "chess.com/member/[username]" to view someone and "chess.com/live" to go to live chess, etc.

helps to memorize links

A lot of interface options are not working for me on my Windows machine as well. I'm in eastern Canada. (I've noticed that this site does not have a stable interface - as a general observation.)

It has been going on for hours. Seems like enough time to fix and/or roll back the change that triggered the problem.

 

It wasn't due to a change. It only impacts a subset of members (as mentioned in post 4). The site has to work with the third-part CDN to fully resolve, based on my understanding of the situation.

If you are using the same internet provider (and not using VPN or proxy) both systems should have the same results. It's possible the problem is fixed for you and you just need to clear your browser cache on the first machine (and maybe your DNS cache).

From some other posts, this appears to be resolved.
