We need sexier, more attractive players.  How about a dating site for chess players?

Fix the 100+ page glitch.

that's not a glitch, chess.com set it that way.

Where does the 100 page cutoff apply? There are threads that go way over 100 pages.

kco

in the categories section is cutoff at 100.

Something like the orichalcos seal, so people might loose their souls after a chess game :P

One of my threads has 416 pages, but I stopped posting on it because it was so slow to load.

ps. Have a great Christmas & New Year, Hes. Smile

How about the sexier, more attractive people learn how to play chess first and then join you here.

Tactics Trainer, so it can take alternate correct moves.

+1 this. I've often found myself with the 'right' idea and the 'wrong' move......or taking a hung queen but missing the mate in 3. There are many ways of cat-skinning, and TT should reward them.

You too Kay, nice to hear from you.

I would like the phone app to have more of the features that are currently unavailable. For instance: There is no group pages or vote chess. There is no way to post or edit games into the forums. There's no tournament pages; there is but it goes to my browser and I can't view the page.. There should be a way to delete or edit posts, but there isn't. I would like more themes. There are lots of ways to make chess look cooler. I would fix the layout of the screen so you can see player's rating. I think app is great, I wouldn't be able to play without it, but I would still like to see improvements made.

@ LouisCreed  I am sure that a chess.com Moderator is monitoring this thread and hopefully some of this input is moved up the chain to someone who can do something.

When notified of forum threads you posed in, there is no "ignore" thing to click on to just get rid of the alert, like on the notification sidebar on the right of the screen.

A no vacation option for group matches.

There have been at least a few long threads on things that could be better in group vote games.

For instance, a timer that blocks votes until (however many) hours before the vote is due. There is nothing that makes me quit a group's VC game faster than a bunch of moves made without discussion by dingbats who rush right into a trap.

1. Would provide the deliverable for the promised/advertised Advanced Study Guide in the study guide area.

2. Would add 960 blitz to live chess.

giving the mobile interface to FirefoxOS (like it does on Android)

I would fix whatever it is in the code that crashes Firefox at least six times every day; even if it's Firefox's bug.

A suggestion box type forum such as this in the categories with mods giving there time to discuss favoured or unfavoured facets of chess.com.I think the users that are this site deserve more of an open approach from the mods.

i appreciate the feedback! as some of you know, we are ALMOST done with a full re-write and re-design of the site. it's been more than a year in the making. it will be a MUCH better platform on which we will build for the next 10 years! thanks for your patience.

Whatever makes the site glitch out all the time. It happens a lot doing Tactics Trainer or in Live Chess and its extremely annoying.

Well... I guess that covers it! Not just one thing,everything!  Nice one Erik! In a 1'er.
