Since I am on this side, the appearance has changed the third time (May 2008).
New abilities for clanleaders or club administratoren are like water in the desert on this side.
1. No chance for "corporate identity"
2. No spinning stars anymore - a special clan will be happy about 😠 .
There will be coming a time, where the user will not accept this philosophy anymore.
testing result: 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 from five possible negativ-stars
Only 24 lines of games on a 24 inch screen (and if I didn't have a row of icons turned off it would be 23)! Still the same midget message box, but less goes in it because the text is bigger. And as for the message log, it's got bigger text and even fewer words to the line. I remember (wistfully) the time when I could get a whole message log on a single printable page. As for that stuff on the bottom of the board, it's just another lot of stuff which should have been done as a drop-down from the black bar below the site logo.
I agree with skeeter about the repetition - just about everywhere you go more lines are wasted. Even on the entry screen for this post, I see a tinted bar "Edit post" taking up about 2 lines, immediately below it another differently-tinted bar "Edit Post" in marginally smaller text. Has anyone actually looked at the screen layouts lately?

...and why are all the links repeated at the bottom of the page. Rubbish.
And just how many 'post' links do we actually need. There's about quarter page of white around the first 'post' link. And on 'My games" there's the same. Too much redundancy. Fix it.

Russ. Here's how my 'My Games ' page loads : Browser blue bar at the top - mandatory. Command, button ( no text ) and address bar under. All minimilistic I think you'll agree. Next: Time for chess logo and graphics (too large and only needs one line ) and then the TFC tool bar. ( My Home, My settings etc. ) Then another link bar - My games, New Game etc - all un-neccessary - could all come under the MY Home link. Then another bar - My games , manage games - again , should be under My home .
Then The TFC logo and 'My games' text - why??Then a white space. Then yet another bar - Inbox ?? Should be foldered in my games ?? Then another white space ?? And then too the grist - what we actually want too see = the game ID Opponent - Status - etc display.
You guys need to step back and actually look at the set-up because it sucks. Too
much link duplication and white waste.
Just my bobs worth but it does need a rework.
Kind regards
skeeter

Russ - take a look at the Most Activve Player page - I think there's a glitch as some players on page 1 have yellow stars.
