My kindle is still showing the board correctly. You can change the size of the board in My Settings. I use 'small' so the rest of the info has room.

You can also change the way My Games is displayed on the My Games page. There are four ways to display the games, try them all out and settle on what works best for you.

@Russ
Fire 7, 9th generation

I reduced the board size as recommended above. I set it to "mini" and it seems to work ok. It was previously set to "small" (for years) and worked ok until just recently.

The lisi view of "My Games" has a large white rectangle in it that prevents you from seeing the game list. Once again, it worked fine (once again for years) until a few. days ago. I can switch to a different view and everything seems to work ok.

I don't mind my board being sized to "mini," but I would really like to get back to the list view of " My Games."

Thanks for your help. - David

Are you having the same problem you described above in the forums?

I'm having problems now on my Kindle even seeing threads in the forums because of these same display problems. The thread list is displaying okay, it's after I enter a thread when the display acts up as you describe above.

I'm not having problems displaying the game list probably because I only have 3 games in my list. I'm also not having problems seeing the games themselves.

I'm having the same display problems only on my Kindle. The site remains viewable in its entirety on my Android phone, no problems there.

I have a Kindle Fire HD 10, 9th generation. I'm using the Dark display, I've not checked it on the normal Light display.

I don't have any problems in the forums (so far). I'm having problems with the board display again. There are 12 entries in my game list (though 7 of them have been finished).

Having the same trouble on an Amazon fire tablet.

Split screen, big white box across gameboard, it is affecting 'forum's too.

Been ok for approx 2 years before a few days ago.

It would seem that I'm not the only person running into this. Sorry you're having problems.

Nothing significant has changed in this period...so this a little puzzling.

I would assume it was a Kindle update that caused this, but if the same problem occurs on Amazon Tablets too, then it might be a more widespread problem.

Can anyone provide a screenshot?

Do you use the Amazon default/stock browser (Silk) or do you use another?

Russ, all Amazon tablets ARE Kindles, as that is native to all Amazon tablets.

I keep referring to my Amazon tablet as a Kindle, because I'm a Kindle user from way back. The Fire is the Amazon tablet.

I have been getting this display problem on the native Silk browser.

I haven't tried installing another browser. I can try this and report back.
