Message for "It's Your Move"

A couple of comments on the message 'Chess.com - It's Your Move' which is sent after an opponent's move. The message is a lot more useful than it was a few months ago, but it's not perfect. Here a couple of small points.

First, I'm playing Black and the board image shows White at the top. I would expect the image to respect what I have specified in...

Settings - Online Chess
http://www.chess.com/home/echess_settings.html

...which is 'Board Settings : Coordinates : Always show white on the bottom' set to YES.

Second, the message says my opponent's last move was '4...Nd3' (it's a chess960 game), even though he's playing White. Since the '...' indicates a move by Black, correct would be '4.Nd3'.

Apologies if these have been reported before. There are a lot of old messages to review in this forum. - Mark

Same game, received a move for White written '19...Nd5'. It was a check so it should have been written '19.Nd5+'. These simple mistakes give an amateurish impression of the correspondence play service at Chess.com. - Mark
