Then I will rather use IE, which is already on my PC, and with which it works fine.
Thanks anyway for your help.

Netscape and Mozilla is essentially the same browser. Only the user interface is different. You should probably have your browser upgraded to the latest version. I believe Netscape 8.1 is the most recent upgrade.
If it's a work computer you may need to contact an administrator to do it for you though.

Originally posted by gambit05Then at least give Firefox a go. Many users here will be happy to help you out with add-ons like linkify and tips for how to get the best out of it. The tabbed browsing is fantastic.

Originally posted by gambit05I'm very interested in hearing how it works out for you, because just a few weeks ago someone else on this site had real problems with Netscape 8.1. I couldn't reproduce the problems on my own computer though.

Originally posted by RussBefore switching to legacy I got a string of Xs where the board should be. Then I thought I switced because analize board was gone, but still Xs, then I guess I really did switch and can see the board, but still cannot 'click' to move any pieces for some reason. Almost like the board is simply an image. Perhaps a browser problem. Are there mobile versions of firefox etc?
Can you try the 'legacy' board as discussed above on your PDA and let me know the results?
Thanks.

By the way I have all these browsers on my PC because 1 1/2 years ago I faced similar problems on another chess site (as a sub). Unfortunately additional restrictions of a firewall prohibited me to play their anymore.
Originally posted by CoconutThat did exist. I had very much completed it this time last year, and released a demo. But I then decided that I was probably being too ambitious trying to release too much at once. This current board code is a modified version of that work, and if it works OK for most people, then it could be easily updated to support the animation again in the future.
BTW, what ever happened to that board I once saw that 'played' the game through? You could speed it up or just go move by move as you clicked. The pieces would actually slide across the board too. Or was that just a dream?

I have downloaded the newest version of Mozilla Firefox, and of Thunderbird to make my e-mail compatible with the new browser; I have imported all my bookmarks and e-mails without any problems, and I can fully enjoy the new board features.
Thanks to all who gave me suggestions and help.
