"Troglodyte"..................the INFERENCE is one with limited perceptive INDUCTION , thus making relevant real-world DEDUCTION impossible . The MEANING in Oxford English , is simply "cave-dweller" .                                                                                                                                        Taking offense is a subjective decision open to all without control of the consequences .                  V3 is presently a very much improved platform and I recommend this site for those that want to play chess , read reports on world chess and get authoritative instruction on the game .

At least we will part on reasonable terms, David.

I, too, have a sense of humour.

I hope so! (to the former, of course, rather than the latter ). I'm sorry we couldn't address your concerns to your satisfaction, but I hope you find somewhere that does. Feel free to drop in any time, though, and see whether anything's changed - cheers!

David I misunderstood the link has always had the bar 2 click on then on to the other version. Sometimes you have to sign in again happy.png

Just thought I would drop in for old time sake.

I tried to join another site that has been mentioned on the site here.

They sent me, so it seems, a confirmatory letter.

I tried again, and the same thing appears to have happened.

I have probably been banned as a double accounter.

Perhaps they have got the V3 bug as well.

It must be contagious!

Maurice Ashley is an engine junkie, Jen Shahade is always vacant and Yasser is always rambling on about meeting some Russian GM in 1974.

robbie, we are so alike. You could be my twin brother.

Celebs all.

You have them off perfectly.

They are OK, but sort of insipid.

But, St Louis is a long way away.

kinda weird. I logged on to the "News". The scroll bar was lagging badly, never knew if I had scrolled or not, scrolled again and the page was jumping back and forth. In the address bar, there was a notice "page is trying to download unauthorized scripts". Meaning ? I logged off, back in with no lag issue and no notice.

5 minutes later, now lagging badly. 3-5 seconds to type letter or scroll.

Thanks David I did not know the link wasn't active any longer  Cheers

I think the link still works, it just doesn't switch right away, but asks an additional question in a red banner:

I surmise that clicking on it actually switches.

 

For the last few days, 2 clicks get me into V2 (used to be 5 or 6).

I've just switched and got no red banner or message.

Perhaps that is meant to be aussie openings. Nothing wrong with them, i say.

By the way, what are gambit-man and Preparedness on about?

This is becoming a bit hard to follow, just like this posy, this thread, this site.

Please don't leave me alone, all you guys.

That V3 is spooky,  and if you are all gone, what will happen?

JustaDude is still here, aren't you, Dude?

Where is C-R when you need him? Probably gone on a hike around the Universe, or at least the galaxy.

 V2 be or not to be, that is the question.......

The new version is more complicated but not better. The old version is simpler, and isn't the point to play chess!!!

Avatar of WBFISHER

Yes V2 is easier to navigate, faster, more intuitive, and easier to play chess on.

Avatar of ProfessorPownall

I'm on v2. The issues I'm having with lag are some what less than with v3. It seems to come and go. A few minutes everythings fine, then suddenly I'm lagging horribly with pages timing out. As I read, I understand v2 is not the "old site" anymore. It's actually v3 with a "v2 feel" keeping much of the old style, which is being phased out, no longer supported with any fixes.

I have friends in Queensland, say they word and consider it taken care of. wink.png

As a whole v2 is quite a bit faster as all the doo-dads, gizmos, bells and whistles don't have to load. BTW, I have no issues with my server at any other web site except this one.
