Will some kind of chess.com currency ever be implemented in order to buy coaching services?

When will the "My Games" function of Game Explorer start working?

 I've been told that if you go to "My Games" in the Game Explorer in V3, it will correctly download all of your games to the database, which you can then access in V2.

I appreciate all the hard work the staff is putting into the Version-3 roll out.

Will the ability to upload still be available?  Also, what are you doing to rid the site of troublemakers, trolls and trollish behaviour on here?  The ability to be able to mute users you don't want to see would be good.

How much more should we wait to see all the little red horned Spaniards banned from the site?!

I like this :)

Could you ask him the following? Please.

In his opinion, do people from India or of Indian descent make the best chess players?

Thanks.

In my personal Game Archive I'd like the ability to file and sort games by various criteria, e.g. opponent, opening moves, lost, trashed, etc. At the moment I save the PGNs on another database, but would make more sense to have them on chess.com.

Erik, would you please consider shutting down the forums.  Lots of websites are doing it.  You would save a lot of money by cutting server costs and letting go of the employees currently moderating the message boards.  It would eliminate a lot of headaches not having to worry about what kind of garbage is being posted.  And would you please make it a requirement that people use their real names like Facebook?  I think 98% of the people here are using fake names, aliases, and are otherwise incognito.  This place has too many kids running around it's like an unlicensed day care center!

Bad idea.

Other options:

Allow forums to be premium member access only for posting and reading; or premium member for posting and all access for reading.

The forum is probably the main reason many members come to this site, so there is essentally zero probability that the forum would be shut down (more site visitors = more advertising revenue).  And I disagree with requiring members to display ther real identities here -- this would assist identity theft, would be extremely difficult to enforce, would drive away many members, and would have no real benefits that I can think of.

Zašto nekom clanu onemoguciti da iznese svoje mišljenje,ako nesme da komentariše ne  treba mu dozvoliti da se nalazi na sajtu.

1. With v3 the photo albums will be eliminated. Will people still be able to upload images into Blogs and Articles or will they need to be hot-linked to a repository at some image-hosting site such as imgur?

2. Will a spell-checker ever be re-implemented for the forums, blogs and articles?

3. Is there a projected roll-out date for v3 yet?

4. When v3 is, in fact, fully implemented, will there be a transitional period during which v2 will remain operational and optional?

I have another question: 

An Indian friend of mine may consider buying your site. 

Would you be willing to commence discussions?

*could you whisper how much its worth?

*if not whisper, just mime it :)

"This place has too many kids running around it's like an unlicensed day care center"! Surprised     That comment Sir is biased, sexist, and un-called for. Erik runs a LEGIT site. All trolls are lisenced according to FCC regulation, and MOST of them have had their shotsSmile                                                                               UndecidedThey ARE getting a little harder to identify thowFrown For this reason, and for the're own protection,all mods will be wearing bodycams in V3 for 2016Wink

Why does your mobile app suck on so many levels? Seriously, the lag and constantly getting booted off is ridiculous.

Blitz auto resigns games now one minute after disconnect. Everyone hates real disconnectors but users outside US whose connections are weaker and who lose their connections unintentionally say this policy is unfair to them.  

Does chess.com have any statistics on how frequently games are lost owed to disconnection? Is there any way to sort that by country so we can figure out if some countries really do need more time to reconnect? It would be great to know if is only a problem for a small percentage of users in all countries, or alternatively, the list of countries where it is a big problem.

Are you planning to absorb all of your competition?  tyia
