How Lonnnnnnnng Untilllllllll V3???

lol ... good one!  Exactly what happens when test audiences don't like something, so they tinker and tinker with it and finally say, oh, wtf, let's recoup at least some of our losses.  (btw, wtf stands for "why try forever?"  Any of you who thought it meant something else .. well, shame on you.)

For those who still have shame.

*Coughs a little, awkwardly glances around*

What a joke.  ha ha.

Just pull a microsoft and call it "10" and never change the name again. Just surpise us with the newest cool things once they are test to death. I would be impressed just to see what they have in mind for the final look of it. Would make a nice TV show with questions.

I'm sure V3 will be switched to the main by 2016.

Ahem...

Oh this again. Right now it looks like a race between V3 and Jesus to see who gets here first.

My money's on Jesus, at least we know he actually exists.

 
That's my thought too, probably early in the year.

I have just released a chess picture puzzle book as a pdf at

please check it out! :) 

I just checked to see when this forum was founded -- it was 17 months ago!  And I find that it doesn't bother me a bit that we still have "V2" (or is it "V2.5?")  In fact, I'm kind of pleased about it. A lot of us old people really do hate change, you know.  At least we used to, back in my day... those were good days ... simpler times ... back then, men were men, and a five cent cigar was ...

oh, sorry... must have been drifting again... never mind. :-)

OK, I just came back from the other side with the link above. I don't see why changing fonts and colors is such a big whoop.

It isn't just a change in colors and fonts. Layout is different and the whole back-end code was changed; at least that is my understanding from following a lot of these topics in the past. The code-base of the existing site was getting harder to work with so they did  a complete rewrite to clean up the code and make it easier to extend in the future.

That is one reason why it has taken so long.

I don't really know anything about code, so all I can see is what I know. And all I saw was that it looked dark instead of light and things were in big square blocky things and the font looked less typefaced. Maybe it's the bees knees, but until it is the only option, I really don't see any great advantage to it.

-- what he said!  Exactly.    -- ? -- 

We have tried to make the exact same site, but better! More modern design, faster code, and have added a lot of new features. That said, ALL change takes time to get used to! Give it a chance
