I would like to know when the messaging will be fixed. It has a flashing screen, and on long messages, it's impossible to scroll to the top of the page.

When do you intend to order the page site?? Dividing the ratings and memberships in classes or rooms?

These events are always very informative. I hope people are aware of them and have seen previous ones.

Here is the link to the section of the last one that included Ask Danny Anything:

This last one had only 26K views. That doesn't seem like a lot for a site with 100+ million members.

Can you tell staff to revert to the old club UI with perhaps some small changes because the community (through proven polls, petitions, and feedback form the beta club) almost universally hates it?

Chess.com chats tend to be rather buggy more often than the average user would like, not sending messages through and making it a real pain to communicate via chat at times. Will that ever be resolved or do we just have to deal with it?

To add onto that, can you fix the new chat UI so that it shows who left the chat in the participants tab?

Also what’s the status on the legend league stuff, it’s been such a long time and literally nothing has happened, like it’s the same value being at wood and legend (I guess Itd make a difference to your ego but still)

Also, my most important question yet (more important than the club UI one possibly): Why hasn't the guy who suggested getting rid of points been fired yet? And will you see sense and put it back? Before you say something about getting rid of spammers who spammed for points, you could have just had your coders make it impossible to make back-to-back repeat threads like you did for comments. This would have stopped people from weaponizing thread-making by destroying alerts and stopping people from manipulating points. Getting rid of points is the lazy (and bad) solution. They've been a staple of the site basically since its inception, and although not perfect, are a nice little gauge of activity and source of discussion and even pride. It's one of the worst changes to the site made in years imo, and could you please change it back please?
