Public beta available for the curious

Looks more and more like [some other chess site] every day 😛

edit by Russ 😉

Not sure I agree, it is fixed width, as most sites are these days. Not much else though? More suitable for tablets.

Will this become the "only", I'm not a computer guy, form we'll be able to use?

I know. I am only pulling your leg. It has a warmer friendlier feel than the old RHP skin. I still prefer PTIG though. Stuck in my ways I guess. Are there any other changes, other than layout and graphics or is it exactly the same functionally.

PS I like the look of the forums.

I'm hoping that everything should be familiar enough to existing players here that they can switch over very quickly. If not, let me know why not (it would be useful to know.)

SO PTIG is getting the bullet after all? 🙁

No headline new features, but some massive changes to the UI. This will be the launch pad for the new blitz and some other minor features.

No, but it is not available in the beta. Once I throw the switch, it will be there.

As I said I'm not a "computer guy". What does this mean?
"IE 8 and newer, and latest versions of all other browsers supported only."

If you are using Internet Explorer, then you must use version 8 or higher.

For any other brand of browser, just use the latest version available.
