I hate to bump my own thread here, but anyone else? This is your opportunity to break things before anyone else! 🙂
Russ, 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.

You can't change the chat back, but all other enhancements can be toggled off so the you can get the behaviour close to that of the board prior to the update.

Why was the chat box changed, I don't see the point with it.

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.🤔👍
I doubt that digital tongue-hockey would be a feature in this new version.

One of the goals was maximise the board size for the available display (unless a smaller size is preferred) whilst eliminating scrolling*.

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.

* edit : When not on mobile/portrait tablet.

When 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.

The chat log should scroll to the most recent message, as you say.

I'll look at making this happen asap.

@Torunn,
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.

For now the chat log will scroll automatically to the bottom when it is opened.

It does all of this, but only if you are a subscriber. Sorry.
