Joined 15 Aug '12 Moves 11620 How do I promote to something other than a queen? It won't even give me the option of a rook, bishop, knight?
Edit: Found it on my own. The new site software threw me I guess.

An idea would be to still open a Promotion window when a pawn reaches the last row, but only Count the move after the choice was made (the promotings Players clock would tick away another second or two during the choice).

Joined 07 Jul '12 Moves 2114 King Tiger, can you please tell me how you do it? I do not want to encounter this situation should the need arise.

King Tiger, can you please tell me how you do it? I do not want to encounter this situation should the need arise. Hi, you have to pick your piece BEFORE submitting the promoting move. The chouce is at the upper right hand side of the board (a drop down menue).
