Express if you like or do not like the new version of the site

That's just the same ole blog saying nothing.

I'm anticipating a major announcement.

There obviously are serious problems. The latest being my speaker keeps going on and off, giving sound to an add somewhere.

I shouldn't leave my PC on with Chess.com open in a browser when I'm not actually on line - apologies for that. I was in the middle of something, went to dinner, and didn't come back to until just now. Yesterday was Sunday for me and I've had a touch of the flu as well.

Reading the report on Titled Tuesday, there was an overall internet problem at that time - I'm not sure if the spike in problems yesterday was something similar or separate. I know that I've personally not been able to start a Live Chess game using the iPhone app since yesterday - it searches for a game, starting "Loading..." but just does that without actually starting a game, so there may be something going on. I haven't looked into any of those other threads to see what the responses have been.

The migration from Angular to Vue has been happening for a while, but I didn't know what the Dev team were calling it - however, in a very recent team communication, I did see it referred to as "V4", so I guess that's what it is. I'm not sure whether that means V4 will replace V3 while V2 continues to hang around, or whether V4 will look any different to V3 or just be a bit different (ie. slimmer and faster) under the hood. I had thought the transition was being made incrementally, but maybe not.

Thanks David, i guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Try some of the other Themes - many of them have less green than the default theme for V3

Any addition , alteration , redaction or any other modification that alters any iteration of " V3 " constitutes a NEW version  and it's pointless to "name" it . When management decides they are "done" with their offering design , it will be time enough for users / members to decide whether to remain or bail .                                                                                                                                   Repetitious listing of " failed " site features among a dissatisfied  group that need to consider other ways to satisfactorily "connect" ,  determines  a negative attitude .                                                                 Those members that support "V3" are either happy with the site offering or don't care as they "deal" with it , since they are now conspicuously absent from this forum and membership continues to rise.                                                                                                                                   Perhaps many have found , as I , that  by changing their ISP,  browser , resetting  security systems and/or utilizing a dual-processor , they have addressed ALL previously listed site complaints .                                                                                                                                   ................no problems , speed of key-stroke action and function of features is great .                If you don't have these benefits , then perhaps a reassessment is due , since "tomorrow" is another advancing technological day where designers are finding ways of adding features to offer more functional and sophisticated site content .                                                                                     Financial return is a capitalist expectation  .  You've still got time to " smell the roses "

v2 speed versus v3?  Don't really care.  My issue continues to be with rubbish organization.  Daily Puzzle is under Share?  The exit from the game screen is a pawn piece in the upper left hand corner? Forums are under Share and not Forums? wait there are Forums that are nothing and then Forums under Share?  Chess kid is under share and not under Learn? Why isn't the Daily puzzle with Tactics?  It is just kinda all over the place

The things you mention, while not good, are minor to the real problems in design and philosphy.

Get V3 basically right, and then look after the cosmetics, I say.

Logging in today to a myriad of Threads from disgruntled Members trying to play chess and unable to. The whole Help and Support Forum comprises Threads about games not loading.

Why can't chess.com put a message on people's Home page or something to alert everyone that there's a Site problem?

Even call it Site Maintenance and save some face...

Surely not a Scotsman looking for a free drink?

He is looking for a drink for a friend. G-man has foresworn the demon C2H5O.

merely reporting an ongoing problem... believe it or not, despite my nationality, coffee is my poison...

I'll drink to that.

And a bonus offering vaguely on topic. A sort of musical version of Bishop's creepy crawly picture of yeasterday. Very clever!

Erik's explanation for chess.com not working on iPad & iPhone:

This is a crazy issue, but here is the explanation:

The reason that some iOS devices are unable to connect to live chess games is because of a limit in 32bit devices which cannot handle gameIDs above 2,147,483,647. So, literally, once we hit more than 2 billion games, older iOS devices fail to interpret that number! This was obviously an unforeseen bug that was nearly impossible to anticipate and we apologize for the frustration. We are currently working on a fix and should have it resolved within 48 hours.

Thanks!

Erik

"nearly impossible to anticipate"

Really?  After almost 2 years of beta testing?

That bug was easy to anticipate. The fact that it was not forseen, shows incompetence of site developers.
