CHESS.COM - WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX YOUR PUZZLE PROBLEM?!?!?

Because this has been going on a *LONG* time now.  What is with the constant STOPPING when I'm doing puzzles?  Why do your puzzles keep stopping after I solve one?  Why isn't it automatically moving onto the next puzzle?  If your puzzles were working just fine a few months ago, HOW could you possibly ruin it?  How can you ruin something that was working just fine, and *WHEN* are you going to FIX IT?!?!?!?!?!?

Check your Puzzle settings. There's an option to stop after every puzzle or only on fails.

And I knew this would be the response as soon as I posted it.

No. This is NOT what's happening. My settings are the SAME as they've ever been with puzzles. The only way this changed is if Chess.com changed it. I already checked the settings.

What I want is for the puzzles to be the SAME as they were before, and they're not.

Before if I was doing a puzzle, and I failed it, I could click on the chessboard and redo the puzzle until I got it right (the clicking on the chessboard problem *is* fixed). After figuring it out, it would *automatically* move onto the next puzzle!

But now, if I get the puzzle wrong, it will STOP even after I figure it out, and it won't move onto the next puzzle unless I use the mouse to click the arrow in the bottom right hand corner. This is both annoying and monotonous. This is not how it was before. Before the puzzles were much more streamlined and it was possible to go through much more puzzles much faster.

This is what I want: Exactly how the puzzles were before.

If you want to reset the puzzle, click on the chessboard. Keep trying to figure out the puzzle until you get it right. THEN an automatic move onto the next puzzle. In other words : My mouse should never have to leave the area of the Chessboard the entire time I'm drilling puzzles.

And either this is still a bug, or Chess.com took away this feature, which is akin to fixing what's not broken, and making things *worse* than they were before.

I agree. This is insanely annoying. Sorry to reawaken this old thread, but i have the same issue and i can't figure out how to change it. No, the setting for puzzles does not affect it at all. On, off, "only if puzzle was failed". No difference at all. Restart browser, restart pc, change browser, try on mobile. Nothing impacts this at all. Has anyone figured out how to return to the fast paced "okay go next anyways" type of puzzle mode, akin to the website with L that shall not be named?

That setting is no longer going to be active. It should be removed from the interface in the near future as I understand it.

What would be the reasoning for removing the setting? It seems quite useful and nice to have, assuming it usually works, that is. I find it really quite annoying to click the "next" button after every single puzzle. For people who like to play lots of puzzles in a row this gets particularly frustrating.

The UI changes I observed in the recent months appear to have the primary goal to streamline maintenance (same interface for mobile/desktop, removed features, etc). That's likely the only reason.

Indeed features and how those interact with the existing settings to make it cleaner and remove less used features.
