The new version is very slow. What about you?

Oh, I was going to mention...I checked the member invite box and indeed one can now copy and paste the full 30 names in one go. So that's something.

However, I noticed that the team listing on my home page is now dynamic? The last team accessed rises to the top? I don't care for that behaviour. That should be a setting somewhere.

Also, alerts should have a setting to use a timer instead of a close button. If one gets a lot of alerts...it's annoying to have to reach up and click. So, 5/10/15 seconds perhaps.

All of this basic stuff should have been dealt with years ago, by the way. It's tragic that basic utility is still an issue.

So, a head's up: Any place and every place needs a setting. I don't care if that adds up to hundreds of settings. As it stands I can hardly make any at all -- and it's particularly galling to be confronted with a phone or mobile interface with those damn sliders.

It looks to me that V2 is a matter of essential freedoms

Noone of the staff, not even mr. Martin who had an answer even for the numbers of the lottery have written one word to explain what is that black dot doing in V3 while they "Keep on Scrolling" into the abyss

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!

To murder Nietzsche: Battle not with monstrous code, lest ye become enamoured of it, and if you gaze into V3, V3 gazes also into you.

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?

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)

"keep on scrolling"

Thanks...Martin is trying so hard that I am now going to google how to load a fresh Firefox profile, as per his last suggestion.

I like this site and want it to work.

I found the way to refresh Firefox and my profile was reinstated.

I logged on again and can now see the resize/flip icon!

Came on the Site this morning, no changes to my set-up since last night and now the icon has disappeared again.

Simple, reload you're profile again.

The latest update is a pure annoyance for me. It still has the same decent look and feel, but I simply can't setup a custom challenge without first searching for a ranked game.... Clicking on the button marked "Play" leads me to the same page it leads me to when you click "Home".

I generally warm up in the morning with a few unranked games, so getting matched into ranked games before I can cancel them and having to abort the games before they start is unfair to both parties involved in said game.

That's because the dot doesn't exist for me. I moved the menu too, in case that mattered. Haven't tried with a lighter background though.

I see there are over 1000 posts in this thread, but how many different voices do all these posts represent?

Changed to the classic background and I see the dot. Have no idea what it is

Would that not simply be a reflection of the magnitude this decision by Erik entails? Given the passion shown by the posters here, ... aside from a certain Scottish character ..., regardless of who's right and who's wrong---that there is this much engagement speaks volumes; and its not that abstract of a conclusion to reach.

Day Five. I discover that the "flip board" option is no longer available in the Daily Chess Analysis Board. How much of a coding problem was that? I suppose I should be grateful that the Analysis Board is still available.

I went to a Daily Chess game I played and opened the self-analysis board. Is that what you are talking about? I found two places to flip the board.

How do you make purple arrows? I like that. I want to make some.

I hovered and it appeared. The hot spot is quite small and needs to be almost on top of the (blech) icon. Is there a particular reason why they can't be there all the time?

Also, I discovered that I was already at the maximum size. It's offensive that I have to give up half(third-ish? whatever) of my screen when I don't have to. The two text boxes are inordinately huge. In the uploaded screen shot I've indicated the maximum acceptable size.

That will be a free year of diamond membership please. Thanks.

Yeah, the box on the right says "upgrade". Does that fix everything?
