@razzarainbow, please learn how to use punctuation marks at the right places. It's a pain to read your posts.

Mr Jeff Rodgers aka Commander Riker thank you for the list of facts you tried to impose on us earlier like you are doing for more than 2 years with V3 without taking into account the gnome of the vast majority of the members who don't like it.
Let me remind you that for as long as you are paid by the site this majority are paying their money to chess,com, personally i have paid more than 100 euros during the last 3 years. In other words you are paid by us and we have every right to decide if we like or if we don't like your new version, all these are faithfull members who you don't want to listen to because you write that you don't care about the polls or how many still don't like V3 but you go even further telling us "hasta la vista baby" help us make it better and fix the disaster that we created with V3 or go elsewhere if you don't like it --
Well, this is not the right thing to say when you are paid by us, you should listen to us, be kind and considerate towards us and apologise first instead of telling us "hasta la vista" then take immediately a poll between all the people who have paid money to the site all through the years to listen to them, and if they still don't like your new product to withdraw it immediately instead of threatening us with V3 now, and try to bring the changes required with a completely new one based on the corrections that already been listed by us and nobody cares
i know many sites have changed in the past like other members write, fb, u-tube etc, but all these sites have nothing to do with chess com cause they didn't have any paying members. Please respect your paying members (I was one before) and listen to them, try to be polite and considerate to all those people who made chess com great and valued you with their money
thank you in advance

Good God Y all ??? We have discussed this over and over again. Saying the same things different ways.
For the last time lets just talk about FACTS.
Fact -1 V2 was built on a Platform this is obsolete. No way to update the core programing not even for security issues.
Fact - 2 V2 hasn't had a sofware update in a very long time and will not ever get another one.
Fact - 3 V2 has to leave as it is not possible to keep it. V3 & V2 running at the same time drains resources and that V3 needs to be fully functional and with speed increases.
Fact - 4 V2 & V3 share the same Data Base which has caused latency issues and extra bug issues until V2 is done & removed.
Fact - 5 Due to the knowledge that V2 can not stay no matter who says, WHY in the Bloody Heck are we voting on which you like Better ??? It means NOTHING (Hello) (Hello) we can't keep it.
Fact - 6 V3 completely rewritten on a new Platform programed with PHP components in no way compatable to anything in V2.
Fact - 7 V3 GUI was only based on 2 Panes on a page and can never be just like V2 due to V2 GUI having 3 columns per page.
Fact - 8 The closest V3 can look like V2 is by useing this link while running V3 ( )
Fact - 9 Erik should take down V2 right away like before the 1st completely. C'est la vie
Fact - 10 All those that refuse to adjust leave and come back when you see how bad it really is out there.
Fact -11 Then and only then will we get strictly input for helping V3 to be better the (Never V3 folks I say it has been nice working with I guess we will see you again.
FACT - 12 These past 3000 comments are really for know reason so why bother V2 is gone and can not be saved.
So get with the program and help improve V3 or (hasta la vista baby) V2 is over we need to put out of this missionary soon and get the site back to improving V3 moving forward.

Lots of folks talking. Very few listening.
I have said from the beginning that I don't like v3. I have NOT said that I will leave when v2 comes down or that I will stop paying when v2 comes down. On that sad day when v2 goes away I will try to get used to v3. I am not very confident that I will. If that time comes when I know that I just can't get it, I will stop paying and only have a free account.
But I have really had a lot of fun on chess.com for the past 3 or 4 years on v2. And I really don't expect to figure out all the hovering and hidden icons and complicated ways of v3.
There are several things in v2 that I didn't know how to do till recently, so I am not looking frorward to starting over in v3. And it is disturbing that v3 is just being forced on us with no proper instructions or training. I heard that somewhere there is a v3 training video, but I have never seen it. Maybe there is, but a since I have logged into chess.com every day for years, I wonder why I have never seen it?
Why does v3 have to be so different?

it's on the previous page, dude... posted by Martin yesterday

I guess I don't put a lot of stock in anything from Martin. If Martin likes it, it is probably a video that tells me that v3 is so great I have no problem at all. That is all i have seen out of Martin.
But when the time comes that I must use v3, I will probably watch the video at that time - if I can find it then.

Commnader Riker made a good post in post #3098. Perhaps if he had said those things earlier we would not have over 3100 posts here now. However, there are two key points that he almost hit, but in fact missed.
Here are two or three key questions that all have the same answer: Why do we have so many posts here? Why did somebody do those polls?
The answer is this: Many of the v2 supporters think that nobody is listening to what they say.
Many of the v2 supporters think they are paying money to chess.com and the product that they like is aboout to be taken away and they have no voice in the matter.
From the start many of the chess.com people and v3 supporters blamed the v2 supporters as being the real problem. From the start of this thread, Martin and some other v3 users claimed that there was almost nothing wrong with v3 and that if anybody didn't like it THEY were the problem, not v3.
That caused so many v2 people to post over and over and make polls to prove that many people don't like v3. And that hasn't comepletely gone away. Martin and others claim that the paying customers who don't like v3 ARE the real problem. Those v2 people think that they are NOT being heard.
And on top of that, Commander Riker missed one other improtant point. If the old playform/technology for v2 required a rewrite, it could have been written to look and act just like the old v2. Having to update it to a new platform did not require the vast changes.

The poll is created by Nimzo who is a V3 supporter (you can read comments 2738 & 2741)

It has nothing to do with if I like something. Someone asked about videos, I linked to the Chess.com tutorials made by the site.
A lot of my posts in this topic are direct answers about how to accomplish things in v3 when people ask.

Pretty sure I never claimed v2 supporters are the problem. I also never said v3 doesn't have some issues.

The poll is created by Nimzo who declared yesterday that is a V3 supporter -- this is very important -- (you can read comments 2738 & 2741 & 3077 )
http://www.strawpoll.me/11933585/r
today V2 supporters are leading with 73 votes differrence, it seems after we did that conversation yesterday the differrence number started to increase again like it should, cause after the first day it was stuck to 51 votes differrence cause every time a couple of votes were coming in the last 3 days for V2 were followed almost immediately by another couple of votes for V3, keeping the differrence to only 50 votes more or less like it is 50% - 50%

You going nuts man?
I will disappoint you but I am very reasonable... but i don't think the same for you reading you 3073 comment
and mind your language
its not so much laziness but I,d rather spend my chess time productively not cleaning up c.com pooh one piece at a time
