Broken daily chess

  • Cosmetic changes now mean I cannot access games which are not listed in my first 100. Developers are aware and 'working on it' I'm told. 5 days now of this...
  • Opening explorer does not function properly, the game position does not load into the explorer. Bug has been reported I'm told. 2 days now of this...

2 pieces of feedback:

Before you start f***ing around with things to make them prettier, make sure that the functionality is not going to be destroyed.

If things are not working correctly then inform your paying customers what is happening and when you expect it to be fixed.

Absolutely agree.  This site reminds me of a little boy with a scab on his elbow; no matter how often his mom tells him to leave it alone, he just has to keep picking at it.  Were I more of a conspiracy theory guy I would even accuse the site of deliberately playing games with the members.  You know, games like "hide the feature"...

the only problem im having is the explorer issue which is kind of a bummer given that half of my daily games are complex Sicilians and it would be nice to have

Ah nice to see Dr. Strange channeling that energy that also informs my existence - how refreshing. I shall add to the conversion, I mean, conversation...

It's typical; companies hire a dozen programmers and not even one quality control tester to make sure the stuff continues to work like it should. Who is the tester? The end user, the customer...

Rage on, rage on....

I have suddenly started having problems playing on my phone. I can make a move but there is no button to confirm it . I can play only on my PC now.

Gone on vacation in daily games until these issues are resolved...I have 20 days left, will this rubbish be sorted out by then I wonder? Still, I have some 'no vacation' tournament games to be getting on with...upon going on vacation the games of mine which are paused are now darkened - a nice touch. The games which are not paused have a ⏸ icon displayed though, which is stupid.

Is that guy in the green-checkered shirt zipping up his trou? lol

Strangemover

He's either putting his hands on his head in despair or trying to start a Mexican wave... 

Both issues still unresolved...I have my hands on my head in despair.

Maybe your rating will go down so low that... you can play meeee

btw, I can't decide whether your profile pic looks like a bathroom mat or a science textbook illustration of the earth's core.

You are only 150 below me...when I come off vacation I'll send you a challenge, remind me if I forget. Profile pic is actually what Russian scientists saw at the bottom of the Kola Superdeep Borehole. So disturbed were they that it was felt necessary to seal the hole forever with this rather inconsequential looking cover.

Google to the rescue...

You should watch it and see what I mean, that is, if your Mom lets you watch horror films...

You would then be... Tak

Never got big into Stephen King...not read this book/seen the movie, I only have a triple dvd set of Carrie, Pet Sematary and Misery. Interesting storyline though, I'll give it a whirl. 

Grobula

It is one of his better ones

Try not to get too emotional when you get the Tak part

 

 

 

...Tak!

Tech Support thinks they can blame everything on the browser cache. They think because Tech Support is outsourced to India, they (the Indians) are safe because it can't be outsourced again.

 

Little do they know, elsewhere on the globe, the technologically savvy Madagascarians are eager to seize those jobs from the Indians. That which was outsourced -- can be out-outsourced!
