Most likely has nothing to do with the site. I don't get that here at all. Download some anti-malware applications and scan your system. You might clear your cache too, in case a cached script is causing it.

 It was only this site everything was i was having issues with so it was really frustrating me. I had to  go through my files and delete it manually. Took me hours. My antivirus couldn't do it. But i fixed it thank goodness. It was so frustrating and strange it was just acting up in here. It made it impossible to go to another page.

I note that analysis boards are no longer pop-ups. This means that I can no longer create an analysis board, scroll to where someone has put comments without a diagram, and then play over his suggested move sequence on the analysis board. If I want to do it at all, I have to write down his sequence of moves separately. Annoying.

 

Also, the new "insert diagram" box is too big. I can't easily put it beside the current board and copy the position from the current board. Oh, I can use FEN--but I used to be able to just copy from the current board. And since pieces dragged to the edge of the board don't vanish anymore, I have to set up a position from a blank board instead of starting with a full board and then making a few moves and getting rid of a few pieces.

You can grab the PGN and open an analysis board in a separate window. Might even be able to right-click and open in a new window.

Also, I just tested dragging pieces off the board and it removed them.

Avatar of MindWalk

Really? It wouldn't remove them for me. Maybe it was a temporary glitch.

What does "grab the PGN" mean?

Avatar of Martin_Stahl

Use the download PGN option to copy it and use that to populate the analysis board.

OK, here's something to hate about v3, or at least about how it seems to be working on my computer: It tells me I have thirty invites left in my group MindWalk's Truly Open Discussion (I know of no reason why I should be limited to thirty more invitations)--and when I just tried to invite someone, it wouldn't let me!

 And it does the same things with Rational Discussion!

I want v2 back.

Sounds like a bug to me. I just tried in a group I'm an admin in and it said 30, invited one successfully and now I have 29.

OK, I have to admit it>>>Youtube videos are MUCH MUCH easier to post in V3 and V3 classic than V2.

Why is it easier to play chess on V2?

One would figure chess.com make the simple intuition of "playing chess" as easy as possible in the new version.

For example: no scrolling or clicking to view a games relevant information.

It seems to me that V3 creates more time & effort on the user than V2 does.

I agree
