Agreed. The new update is a disaster. And friending people is weird now
Why???

What is profile view brother Nathan?
I never used notes as they are public and I'd rather communicate privately, so for me, I won't miss them at all.
The number of times someone visits your profile. You had a lot of them, probably at least 5k if I remember correctly. 
@fishers4men
I guarantee you chess.com knows that people are obsessed with profile views, that's why they removed them. It was done purposely.
lol yeah the updates are dumb tbh. I don't particularly care abt profile views but profile notes were really cool. Literally no point in taking them away but what do u expect from this site
It depends on the person. No one needs to have their private conversations in their notes it's just a fun way to communicate and interact. Conversation isn't often intimate and certainly not necessarily. It's the individual's choice what they do with it as well as up to their personal preference.
Yeah there's a lot of people on chess.com who are under 13, and don't have parental permission either.

I hear ya but each club has notes too.. its just an unnecessary redundence and a drain on the system. Many of you are fortunate you don't get kicked off the site which is what they were advocating for. Their User Agreement says you have to be 13 or have parental permission just to make an account and to notify cc if anyone is under 13 without parental permission. No one does that... its there to cover their legal butts. We enjoy having kids in the youth ministry and love reaching out to them, but don't complain, cuz it could be much worse:
Uh I'm not talking about club notes though I'm talking about personal notes. It's fun for each person to have a personal space that is open to all their friends to interact together, regardless of whether they are in the same club or not. And it's nothing to do with anyone abusing the age bar either. That's a separate issue.
I wish more people knew of the group chat feature. You just hit the plus and can have as many people as needed.

I completely agree. Chess.com needs to revert to the old profile.
For real!!

Yes, I forgot about that... there you go. I don't think you'll miss it as much as you think.
Wait what if you turned off chat feature put messages and chats into friends only/nobody then how will you communicate with people?? I guess you can friend them but it was just a thought
That sounds like a terrible idea.

No people have messages set to friends so that people dont message them. I guess they would have to set messages to all
Bruh that's not true. I know a lot of people who have messages set to friends only
Take @Caleb341, for example.
I really doubt that they will ever make it to where messages can't be set to friends only. Where are you coming up with these ideas XD

Nvm. It was just a thought that came to mind
...
Pros:
1. It looks clean, but other then that ain't nothing any better.
Cons:
1. No more profile view!?! Why everybody loved these, and if chess.com paid some attention they would know that.
2. No more notes! I don't really see why they removed these they were great for the people who wanted them and those who didn't could just turn them off in the settings.
And I'm sure there are other things that I have looked over but as for know that's what I got.
All in all I think it was just bad, and I wish Chess.com would pay attention to these forms that are posted and fix these problem, and remove these update when we are complain about them because we liked the old system better.
Please leave your thoughts down below I'd be happy to hear them. Also one of my friends got banned this morning and when he sent me a friend request back it auto accepted it!?!
