@Russ saidRuss, are the new in game changes we see now what you mean? They are just making things complicated and boring, I'm referring to the chat box. I want it back to how it was before.
I hate to bump my own thread here, but anyone else? This is your opportunity to break things before anyone else! 🙂
@Great-Big-Stees saidI doubt that digital tongue-hockey would be a feature in this new version.
As you know I play more for the verbal intercourse than the game itself so any technical updates/changes, really don’t affect me…well yet.🤔👍

@Torunn saidOne of the goals was maximise the board size for the available display (unless a smaller size is preferred) whilst eliminating scrolling*.
Why was the chat box changed, I don't see the point with it.
During the beta process, the original method was trialed, but the board was greatly reduced in size when messages stacked up above the board.
The alternative, which you are now using, is the biggest change of this release, but give it some time at least, and you may be become less resistant to it.

@Russ saidWhen I open the chat log I see the first message on top and the last at the bottom - it's going through a lot of messages to get the last sent. Could that be reversed? I might be missing something fundamental here, I often do.

@Torunn saidThe chat log should scroll to the most recent message, as you say.

I'll look at making this happen asap.

I also like that idea then the last message is on top instead of having to scroll to the bottom for it, makes good sense. I missed that in the testing too.
I spent a lot of time testing promoting pieces to queens, rook, knight and Bishop!!! Just a small piece of the larger picture of course.

@Torunn saidFor now the chat log will scroll automatically to the bottom when it is opened.

@rookie54 saidIt does all of this, but only if you are a subscriber. Sorry.
i do not like this
no, not at all
i want the chat to autoscroll to the most important tidbit of information and expand outward from both directions at once
and spin upon the Y axis
