The entire Blog section of Chess.com is gone! Is this due to V3??

I am going to wait right here until I get an answer!

Elenin to her administrative assistant:  Cancel all my appointments until we get this matter solved!  And get me the President on line 1!  NOW!!!!

Someone uploaded an image too loarge for our servers to render. I'll see about fixing it right away. Thanks for the heads-up!

I guess you're getting the big picture now.

 

Elenin,  I could access my own blogs and as well as go through the actions of creating a new one (without actually pubishing it).  Photo Albums are supposedly not supported by V3 (which is already a month late), but nothing was said about blogs.  Someone is pulling your leg.

I still see your blogs my friend I know they are having problems all of mine are still there my friend . I hope they do not take a way blogs and picture albums.   I think they should put the proper youtube Icon every where. Like where I am wrighting this message. I have not been able to figure out how to put a youtube video song here where you see the video. I only now how to put the link hear. Also my computer spell check does not work hear ethere it should work here also. your friend brigatine:-)

Hi batgirl.

Well, while they're at it...they better pull the other one too.

Just to even things out!

I am soooooo tempted to pull the leg. (As only to see the result) ;-P

Hi brig.

Yeah, it appears that youtube is not welcome in the forums.

kboyer309

Go ahead 64 (8by8). 

It might make me taller.Kiss

bcurtis

All better!

kboyer, I don't have specific details I can share about the v3 plans for blogs (mostly because as we discuss things, the final state may change after I last participated in the planning). But you can direct your concerns to the site feedback forum and staff with handy dandy checklists of things can get you the most current, most accurate info. Someone may have already asked this and gotten an answer!

batgirl

Is that a white rabbit on your shoulder?

kboyer309

That's a very diplomatic answer, bcurtis.

ok guys...get the lanterns and the pitchforks ready!

Chess is life my friends if they take away albums and blogs and you can not put pictures up and freinds can not talk about things that our about there life or topics that are realvent to there lives. It would be a boaring site my friends. This site can not be all about chess. We have so many friends from all around the world and there lives are very inportant for the future to this site. With all the conections though. Face Book and youtube and twitter and what ever else. They have to be link to make it fun for every one. How many songs do we put up in are teams notes from youtube and othere sites. Things like That. If it is a issue of money for the site. This is another story. My friends and even this issue can not be solved to eazy. one thing is for sure this is the best site I have seen so far. Because they made it eazy to use for us. And we all learn and become better chess players and I know we are all thankful for this. So Many members and growing. Awesome. Thank you for letting me share your friend brigatine-66

Actually, it can.  Most chess sites are just that.

Whether it's a good idea or a good business plan is certainly debatable.

I can think of a lot of things that would, in my opinion,  improve this site, but getting rid of certain things that many people use isn't among them.

DO NOT DESTROY OUR PRICELESS PIXELS!!

We ask that you spread a little pixie dust on this THING you call "V3".

Why stir up a hornets nest...unless you want to get stung.

                            Haven't you people been watching the news ??  Its been all over CNN. That section of the site was nuked at 3pm EST. FOX news is reporting that the attack was launched by those bastards at Checkers.com. Erik and Kohai are dead, the place is a mess, communication is down. It started as a cyber attack about not deleting messages.  LOOK, the only safe passage is throught the joke thread. Bug out and head for higher ground. The servers will self destruct in 1 hr. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to get to level 13 on Coney Island. Joey Chestnut is in commade there. He's got all the blogs you need. If you don't make it, its been nice posting with you. 

kboyer309

Erik and Kohai survived the attack...they were only wounded.

I'm sticking close to Jack Bauer until the smoke clears.  

And where is Chloe when you really need her??

SHE could figure this out!!

No, I haven't been watching CNN because I wasn't stranded at an airport or bus station today.
