If chess.com would like to sell V2, it would be a great thing to buy. Someone would have a built in following. There is a reason that people say 'you can't reinvent the wheel'.
Express if you like or do not like the new version of the site

I don't like it. I find the simplistic style of the old site better than the futuristic "app like" V3. The old site has white background and simple graphics rather than attempting to look "fresh" with a fake 3D look.
Also, when playing, I don't like the new buttons. I prefer buttons with text, such as "post comment" or "submit move" rather than symbols. I also don't like the new layout in-game where the "analysis" and "conditional moves" are modes of the same window rather than opening in new tabs/windows. It makes me feel unsure whether I'm actually about to make a move or just doing it on the analysis board.
I prefer the old one.
I agree with all of these comments.
Can't see tournament I'm in while playing opponent in v3.

The 'new' chess.com: When I want to login, this message shows up:
"We notice you are using an ad blocker. Please consider supporting Chess.com by upgrading your account. Thanks!"
I am a GOLD member! And yes, I am supporting this site. Thank you.

Not an improvement. Very slow indeed. Seems like I'm always having to touch a piece twice now to move it.
I don't like new version because tactic training timer does not show average time with time bar below as in the old version. Apart from that I have no problem with new site. Just correct this
no good new version i want old were is??

But is so vain, I mean is useless, to be obliged to learn a symbols language in order to use V3. I have written in the past about it and I totally agree with Petter, I have experienced the same ambiguity too
The use of symbols makes sense if they are trying to reach the entire world of chess players. I agree that they need to make improvements in the symbols. The white flag for resigning was not clear. Isn't that the sign for a truce?
But I understand what they are trying to do-- most of the world does not not speak or read English. It takes a little adjustment for English speakers, but the rest of the world has been struggling with our language.
I think the compromise they have tried with the symbol and the English word works pretty well.
...until you get here and would like to forget how to read it...

Absolutely horrible. Impossible to navigate on mobile devices. More lag.
I use a mobile brower most of the day. Works fine on my device on both the mobile optimized version and the desktop version. On the built-in browser and on Chrome.

Absolutely agree. If he chess.com team doesn't want v2 they can sell it to some IT company that will make it soar. They will have millions of customers right away.

P.S. My posts never seem to appear on the "Most Recent" list. What am I doing wrong.
Thanks again.
You're not alone, I'm facing this problem too. This used to work well in V2. I feel like I'm silenced in V3.
There is some lag in the recent posts list updating. It may have something to do with both sites running in parallel or back-end changes to make other processes more responsive (asynchronous updates).
That section was actually gone until about a month ago.

They would have to sell without the live chess feature. I think the back-end code is the same on both versions, though I could be wrong.
Also, without the community, because none of the content would change hands, not as many people would be interested. Millions might be a bit of hyperbole too.
White flag? Omg. King on side is the symbol of resignation. Any CHESS player knows that.

I thought white flag meant 'surrender'...
