So I can see some of the numbers and letters along the side and bottom of the board. Also when observing games I can see the squares turn yellow when one player makes a move. However, I cannot see the board or the peices. I have no idea what the problem is. Do I need flash? 

 

Please help. Thank you!

It doesn't work on Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. None of those work.

Can you view the daily puzzle on the chess.com home page?

If not then it's most likely a flash player issue. The other possibility is your school's firewall is blocking the chessboard and pieces images.

Hope this helps.

I cannot see the daily puzzle either. It must be flash player. Thanks a lot. :)

i think chessbeginner77 is right, above was from last night game i watch when i forgot to enable image after disabled it.

It turns outthat my school was blocking the website that loaded the chess board but wasnt blocking chess.com itself. Keep that in mind if you have the same problem. :)

Is the problem that the javascript now includes something from facebook.connect?  I have been blocked from work recently and am wondering if this is why.

If so, could this be changed it is really bad for the chess community. Facebook is blocked almost everywhere.

I'm trying to play chess and improve my rating, so i don't want to use coolmath. But i'm trying to play chess on the school windows computer and chess.com isn't blocked but the images are. Can i do anything about this problem( the school blocking the chess board)?
