New interface for chess.com; what do you think?

The buttons look more 3D

Playing games? Can you access with a different browser. Is Safari up to date?

Yep, I can get into the games list but when I click on a game to make my moves, the board never shows up. Safari is upto date and I’ve checked for a new update but I don’t need to.

I can't tell if someone is playing a game until I click into their profile and see the watch button because there isn't the red square anymore

Just keeps showing this permanently…

Typical example of progress for progress' sake. I play on pc, as opposed to mobile for a reason. This mobile-esque look, the awkwardly far left placed board (more ad space? *vomit*) was the last push I needed to wholly switch platform and I'm not looking back. Saving some pocket money too. Money that this company would spend on nonsensical things anyway.

I’ve cancelled premium renewal today. That’s me done. There’s an issue with the interface for many users, yet it must’ve been me and my settings that were at fault. 😆😆

Looks ok

Change it back, website is now unusable.

This new ui is absolutely horrible. The home page doesn't show notifications or provide access to the forums or messages.

How do we access our dm's or navigate the site beyond starting a new game? The new game options, game history, and profile page are the only things on the home page now. I had to go to my profile page and open one of my old threads just get access to the forums.

I just reported a UI bug to the support team. Idk if anyone else has experienced this, but I noticed today that when I shrink down my browser window to a certain size and the sidebar on the site disappears, the icons which usually appear along the top of the screen are no longer present. This makes it quite a headache to navigate the site and requires me to keep switching back and forth from full screen mode on my browser just to get from page to page. (I'm using Microsoft Edge on a PC running Windows 11 btw, not sure if anyone else has experienced similar issues using any other browser or OS.)

What browser is that and have you tried clearing your browser cache!

What about it is unusable? I'm on every day and there hasn't been any usability issues

Everything is available in the menus.

Messages and notifications are at the bottom for full browsers.

I wasn't getting the sidebar menu or the icons at the top of the page. They're back now after clearing the cache. Thanks.

It looks like the buttons and tabs had returned, they disappeared from my page until 2:37 ET.

Until 2:37 PM, couldn’t check alerts, couldn’t check messages, had lost contact with my friends and had to manually get onto the profile page to manually select an active game and make a move.

The buttons are now back and the site is back to normal.

The Moderators seem to think that because it works for them, it works fine for everyone and we are all joking. 😆😆
