Actually dudes, I think V3 is pretty sweet and all you know? I mean, the vision is pretty cool and all. but there are some things that are not that good, like your background, you can only change it into some themes that are not cool. Like in the the old chess.com, you have a variety of choices to chose from and I like the clash of clan one.(you can check it out!) so yeah, there are good things and there are bad things. so I hope they will improve in the background part.( so I can use the clash of clan one)
Express if you like or do not like the new version of the site
Sort:
This is just stupid. My paid membership was due for renewal today. I hate the V3 board and the system wouldn't let me have the V2. So I cancelled my account.
I open up a new free account and after a couple of games with the V3 board I go out windsurfing (absolutely honking, 20-25 knots, maxxed out on my Firefly 6.1 and Kode 86, since you asked
) I log in again this evening and I've got the V2 board.
That's all I want. Doesn't Chess.com want my money?

You can use the custom options to upload your own bacground images.

But they don't scale so are a reducto absurdum of what was available in v2 with the INFINITE (up to and including transparant) colours one could choose! Now? 10 or 12 mawkish choices plus, um, fuzz, should one choose to upload ones own background. Lol, nice advance there.
Horrible. In Live Chess, the screen is cluttered and can't be shrunk down to a small portion of screen real estate without making the clocks unreadable. I like to play in a small corner of my screen while working.

There also must be a 'Freudian' explanation, for the decision to convert to 'V-3'..{with all the expressed 'Negatives' that represents}.. But, I would'n't touch that, {the 'Freud' angle}, with a 12 foot pole! {chuckle}
Some of you talk like you can switch back and forth ebtween V2 and V3. How? I want to revert to V2.
Freud's explanation would come down to inferiority complex being projected on the superior V2.

There is a link that should take you back to the old site -- where it is depends on where you have the menu bar placed (on top or down the left hand side)...if you look around you should be able to find it.
Conversly, this link should take you back to one or the other depending which one you are in when you click it: https://chess.com/switch
If clicking that link brings up a page of code...just close the browser and upon opening it again to the site will load it correctly.
I don't like it

I was specifically answering the background statement. If you are on Chrome, there is an extension that can be used to theme other elements. That should be coming to other browsers in the future.

In light of the issue brought to attention by Spacebux, I think it might not be difficult for most any competent programmer to add label controls and edit the text properties to label the objects.

What's the point of uploading your own background if the site distorts it? The fact you can doesn't help in any way. The site is still limited in relation to what was available to the use in version two.

I just looked at one of the existing images. Just get one that looks good at 1,440px × 900px
The site apparently upscales them to that size.

There is a link in the menu to switch.

Interesting. What a bizarre choice. The site is following a responsive design philosophy...except where user uploaded images and backgrounds are concerned. Hmm. Perhaps the site's owners should have engaged the services of the QA Monks: http://www.qamonks.com/cross-browser-testing.php

So, what is the responsive way to handle unknown file sizes? Tile, stretch, float? I think the method is somewhat subjective.
v2 just tiles the images. My guess they decided that wasn't the best so went with making all of them the same size (not sure if that also impacts the mobile website version or all resolutions).
And I'm pretty sure that the site has experienced developers. Design choices doesn't equate to not knowing how to do something.
What is this mystery black dot?
It only appears when scrolling down... ⇣⇣
I'm worried now that the Abyss is looking back at me, as Chungle foretold... Mystery icons abound!

we still didn't get any answer about this mysterious "black dot"
while you "keep on scrolling" ?!
is that the answer to the mystery of why they want V3 so badly?
