I will reiterate: v3's bloatedness is due to a combination of "greater data size" and "more javascript to run".

 

Greater data size means each page has more data to download.  We've documented this so many times in this Off Topic forum.  That means one's browser takes longer to get all the data to render a page properly.

 

More javascript means that once the data has been received, there are several functions and other bits that must be processed to also render a page properly.  Much moreso than in v2.  Hence, more processing time required.

 

The combination of those two items means v3 will NEVER be faster than v2.  There's nothing that any coder in the current world can do about that.  It may make sense on the West Coast of the U.S. where everyone is on a guaranteed gigabit network backbone with systems sporting the latest dual-XEON 48-core processors and 2TB of RAM with 2PB of SSD storage.  The rest of us don't have that.

I can stream video from Youtube, Spotify, ESPN, etc., without issue.  I have streaming issues with only two sources - FB and chessTV.  ..and I have a feeling Chess.com is using FB models for media distribution.

its ultimately ironic because the idea behind flat design is to minimize javascript and make use of the latest CSS3 and Html5 features.

How Do I give CHESS trophy's at the end of a game in V3?
Avatar of venue

At the end of the game you must click on the account name and mark the icon Give Trophy. It is unpleasant that there is no trophy editor yet. We have to use some extremely deprived pictures. This is a problem that gets worse after removing the previous images. I hope that someday I will get my Trophy Editor through which I can create the visual message I want.

chess.com...does not like it's paying members to send creative , visual messages 

if you send pictures of beautiful birds... the small minds misinterpret message, and then...whine , and complain to the evil censors... who will then threaten you with something called, 'mute'.... or something..., and the pea brains will call you names...

oh... it seems to be ok to send pictures of giant size glasses of beer.. or six minute videos of the pink panther []which is really funny[].... and stuff like that...

just don't post a bird picture... unless you want to be called names, threatened, and attacked verbally by strangers...

beach people like v2.... climate change deniers like v3

Any news on V3 fixes?

Avatar of monkeywithgun

To me, it's not broken.  You must mean 'fixes' to get it to perform on obsolete hardware and software.

Already locked via v3, the URL links seem to have changed, hence I believe v2's now in a further state of dysfunction.
