    You are offering a game to anyone else that is on the server. There are not many on there, so you may have to wait longer than a minute for a game. You can see how many players are on by the list on the right.

    I see. More patience needed. So is it normal not to see a board until a game is accepted, unlike old Blitz?

    Yes.

    Another thing you can try - if there are any names on the player list with a green dot, that means they are playing. You should be able to click on their name and observe the game.

    That seems to be part of the problem. There is no players list or board.

    Can you post a screenshot? If you have Windows, Alt-Print Screen takes a picture. Save the image, then upload it at www.tinypic.com. Then I can see what you are seeing.

    Appreciate your time SG. ALT PRT SCRN doing nothing so saved the screen from the 'PAGE' drop down menu. Then Tinypic did not like the format.
    Still working on it.
    This is why I love computers. Save me so much time!!!!

    Alt-Print screen puts a screenshot on the clipboard. You have to Paste it in to a program like MS Paint and then save it that way. A *.JPG file should work with tinypic.

    Tinypic should give you a link to the picture once you upload. Please post the link here so I can see it. It will be something like this:

    Ahh. It's Internet Explorer. My Internet Explorer does the same thing as yours. I have IE9.

    This gives me the chance to help you in a bigger way. IE sucks (the only reason I have it is it came with Windows). Get Firefox or Chrome instead.
