....on the RHP website as far as I can see. I've not changed the way I offer a draw since the update, so pretty sure it's not me (but I may be wrong!). Anyone else experienced this??

Worked for me with my two draw offers.
I imagine if your opponent is making moves quickly they might not see the draw offers, especially if they are using a phone.
Thanks, I think on reflection it is working but for some reason I'm not seeing 'Draw Offered' on the individual game line in the 'My Games' summary display.

I noticed that too. I see it turns grey. I think.
When you click the 'offer draw' button, you get this message directly above the board, in an orange text box: "A draw will be offered with this move." And there also is another button within that window that allows you to cancel the draw offer.

Once you make your move, it would be more obvious if the status for that game displayed "Waiting, Draw Offered" instead of just "Waiting". That would stand out. A text message is much more understandable than a little icon changing its' background color to grey with no explanation of why it changed.

EDIT: Upon further examination, if you have made a draw offer, and make a move, when you return to your 'my games' page you can go to the right side of the game and click the 'info' button, and when that window opens, browse down and you will see that there is a 'draw offered' status below the board display.

EDIT 2: If your opponent sends you a draw offer, it is very obvious.
On the 'my games' page the game status clearly states 'My Decision' in a purple box.
If you click the 'info' button, it will say 'draw offered' below the board display, as before.
On the game board page, below the 'submit' button, you see a text message that a draw has been offered, and below that another set of buttons, red or green, to accept or ignore the offer.

So you get much better visual indications of a draw offer on the receiving end once the draw has been offered.
If you are the one that sent the offer, you don't see much that stands out once it is sent.

This. The 'Draw Offered' message used to be visible in the 'My Games' summary which I thought was helpful. It seems buried now which may be less helpful.

I totally agree. That's what I was trying to say in the second paragraph of my post.
