I know, I know, but I decided now was the time to go forward.

1024*768 is the minimum on most machines (old and new), so the old web design constraint of supporting at least 800*600 has been scrapped by me from this day on.

A quote from an old English textbook, but it's true. Besides, most machines can change their resolution without consuming much chess time. Good job with the makeover, Russ! It really invites new uses to come and check it out.

I say its prettier the home page, the only thing I would change its the users comments. To me like a potential user its easier to convence if you writte the source of the comments. like:

“Brilliant - a great way to play chess and keep in contact with my old friends.”
- XXXXXXX user-
Its stupid meaby but when i read the whole page its what i notice.
Anyway its just what i think.

Very nice drawings by the way.

Indeed. It now seems like he wrote it all himself on a lazy sunday afternoon, although still claiming the comments are all genuine...

I noticed that the link to blitz chess in home page(thinking its www.uchess.com) its a link to www.redhotpawn.com. I think its just a link mistake.

The bigger boards on the forums are not as mobile-friendly. Is it hard to make them small again on mobile.redhotpawn.com

I seem to be having a problem with claiming wins and sending finished games to file. When I put the cursor over where one claims wins and sends games to file I get a definition and need to click on it at least a dozen times to get any reaction.

This is a known problem and a fix should be forthcoming.
