Luckily we have Linux OSes to choose when Windows "improved".

Having switched back to the old version, how can I now switch back to the new version?

I appreciate the work made by the team however they have a lot to improve in V3 or likely even to start thinking about V4. The main drawback of the new site is its slooooowness - it takes several seconds just to open a game while the old one (V2) does it almost instantly. And this is on a middle-class desktop PC, while on my low-end Android tablet V3 takes about a minute to simply show the board.

Looking into html I see that the new code is abused with javascript insertions, perhaps this is the main cause of the slowdown. Really, JS gives more flexibility to developers but the second edge of it is that end-users are urged to pay the expenses.

There is a link at the bottom of most pages on v2 that says Try the new Chess.com

since V3 there are a lot more trolls in the forums. That is my complaint.

The only way to get rid of trolls is to remove all the social aspects. That isn't likely to happen wink.png

Am I the only one that likes this new site? I've been a member for a while and I like  this change, and I like the new features that were added. I really don't see what's so terrible about it other than its a bit different? It took like 2 minutes for me to figure out how to navigate around...

Archive is still there and as a basic member v3 now gives you access to your whole archive where v2 only gave the past 30 days.

 

The link is in the Play menu.
