How do I make my chess board bigger? 4K monitor and the board occupies about 1/5th of my screen.
If I try to Zoom In in the browse, then ALL element of the screen become bigger, EXCEPT the board - it becomes smaller.

Please help!

Thanks!
PS: Firefox on Windows PC.

I have had a similar problem since they made the last changes to the system a while back. I also asked for help, but I haven't received any..

Ok my phone it's fine but the Chromebook has a very small board as well. Think it depends on the device.

This sounds like a serious bug and you should send feedback with "bug" marked, Probably it helps the more infromation you have about your system.

What would be helpful is a screen grab of what you are experiencing.

Send a feedback, and I'll provide an email address for you to send it to so I can take a look.

Any details about the system too would be useful - screen resolution specifically (just to be sure your system is actually running in 4k matching monitors capabilities.)

I have received the screen grab, thanks.

I recommend, from the board settings, you make more vertical space available by :

a) Switch on 'Compact Captured Material' (one row, rather than two)
b) Switch on 'Board Coordinates Inset' (collapses coordinates onto board itself.)

I've provided a few comments about the Firefox config too in my email response, but once we establish if I can help you with that, I'll post more about it here as it may help others too if they have a similar issue.

I have the opposite problem with my chromebook after the new build that I told Russ about a while since.
Everything is fine except when I try to follow Greenpawns' blog examples or the chess puzzles.
The board is so big it only just fits on my screen so i can't read the comments and in the chess puzzles it doesn't fit on at all no matter what I do with the settings.
It's not really a problem-I just don't use these funtions.
If I was that bothered,I'd go on the pc when the missis wasn't using it
