Really, with the clocks now?

As if this new site layout wasn't annoying enough, now some genius decided to make the timers pulse throughout the entire live game?? What possible benefit does that give? Were people flooding Chess.com with emails actually ASKING for this? "Hey, could you guys please make both timers hugely pulse while I'm trying to look at the board? I've always hated that there isn't crap flashing in my peripheral vision while I'm trying to focus on my game. Thanks!" You guys are true geniuses. Really.

I don't know what you mean about the clocks "pulsing". Is it audible? Or is it the little animation that shows the clock is working?

I guess you haven't figured out yet that you can configure the home page so that the things you like show up on top and other things you don't use don't show at all.

Find the Home Page settings on the home page.

What a surprise, a response from someone who feels the need to insult and condescend their way through a response because they're hiding in the safety of their home behind a keyboard. That NEVER happens in an online forum..... But, since we're guessing and supposing, I'll venture a guess that YOU haven't figured out how to read and comprehend the English language, because I made it very clear what the clocks are doing. There is also no setting to remove the clocks from a TIMED, LIVE game. Perhaps in future, you let a post fully absorb in that brain before falling over yourself in your excitement to act superior to someone like the keyboard badass you are.

I didn't think you had been clear at all so I will ask again. When you talked about the timer "pulsing", I wasn't sure if you were talking about the little clock animation, which shows an analog type clock face with one hand moving?  That was introduced almost a year ago. I thought there might have been something else that I might not have noticed.

I don't think I was insulting or condescending - certainly nothing at all compared to your original vitriolic post. I was trying to be helpful by showing you the home page controls which you might not have noticed.

I looked and I found only one other post complaining about the clock face.  Evidently, it's not bothering a lot of people.

@notmtwain don't worry, he is obviously a troll

or just very angry and salty for no reason

You really need to learn the definition of the term "troll". Here's a hint: it doesn't mean anyone who says something you don't like or don't agree with. And given that I fully explained, in two posts, what my reason for being irritated was, we can see that you're about as reading-challenged as your friend.

I gave two options pal. You say you are not the first one, and I agree. But your answer further proves you are the second one. I don't care if you have mental instabilities or anger issues, you can't offend people like that
