I play using a stylus due to a medical condition, but my Samsung S pen doesn't work on the new board.

Still works with keyboard.

That is unfortunate. Can you provide details about the web browser and device you use the pen on?

There was a change in the latest site update to use the modern standard for 'touch' & 'click' handling in browsers, and I'd hope the work around for this is well documented so it can be fixed.

Do you have a non-stock browser, like Chrome or Firefox installed? It would be useful to know if that is Ok?

Chrome is installed, but I can't get access without username/password so can't see the board screen.

The FEN viewer doesn't require a login, so you can move pieces about on that, hopefully.

sorry for the delay in responding.

Stylus is working in Chrome. So I could play in Chrome if I can persuade Chrome to accept the Kewpie login by a password reset.

Do you just mean your log in for this site? Does the password reset not work for you? Best to copy and paste from the email if it doesn't.

OK. Login problem solved (turned out I was using a different email address).
So now I can play on Chrome. Thanks for your assistance.

Good to hear. Although it a nuisance having to change, stock browsers are generally not that great, providing only the bare basics, so hopefully you will get other benefits too.

For info @Russ , my stylus works on Chrome on a Samsung S25 smartphone but NOT on Edge (my preferred browser) on both a Samsung S10+ tablet and Samsung laptop 🤷

And I've also noticed the iPad / iPencil combination no longer works either.

Very surprised by this. I'll investigate.
