Scheduled outage for site update 2009-10-24

great aditions russ, thanks a lot! I specially like these links on the bottom right corner. I'm already using the notebook avidly to anotate my candidate moves when I'm not shure yet wich one is best. Also like the "message player" button that apears when you are viewing a profile. Great job, keep up the good work!

I have observed that the MyGames page now takes longer to load, sufficiently that I feel I've gone back to my old 800mHz computer! Also, the "hover" function over a flag produces a box with just another copy of the flag, no text.

When I hover flags it produces an text at my end.

Tried clearing cache, didn't fix the flag problem. I'm using Vista Home Premium SP2 and IE8.

Is there two tiny scroller arrows on the right? If you click down, is it underneath?

The two scroller arrows are there, but as soon as the mouse gets anywhere near the box the screen flicks over to the list of players from that country. I can't get to either scroller arrow.

Please remove the icons that float in the lower right corner of the screen or make this an option.

You can now click the small boxed x to close this dock bar. Use the "my site settings" to re-enable.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't understand why all these changes were made.

Can you explain why the 500,000+ moves star is...gray? What's the incentive to get to 500,000 if your star culminates in a dull, lackluster color? Thanks.

That's not gray, it's, er, platinum.

One thing to remember is that the previous version of the site that has just been replaced was itself an iteration of another version! Each time things change, some people don't like the change, this is inevitable, and I need to judge the size of the negativity, but that was true getting to even earlier versions too which some would rather we stayed with! (Make sense? 🙄)
