We use to have the box icon that said Game ID where you would put the game ID in it, hit submit and the game would pop up. There are a lot of uses for that feature.

Will it come back or is there a place to put the Game ID like we use to?

Thank you,

It appears that you can no longer search by game ID - a shame

There's lots of small differences on the new build which seem to have been overlooked.However, it might be that Russ was seeing if anyone noticed. For example the number of annual clan points is no longer on the clan page,just the total.
I took over a job in my career many years ago.The previous incumbent spent hours compiling and sending out an information sheet to about a dozen recipients every week.I knocked off a few of the recipients every week and when no one complained I dispensed with the sheet all together!!

I started to suggest that if you know the game id that you want to look at, you could open any game and then look at the URL at the top of the page and substitute your game id for the one shown in the URL, if that makes sense to you.

But then I tried it and found that it did not work reliably. Sometimes it did, and other times it did not, so that's why I removed my post earlier.

But you can sure give it a try and see if it works for you.

It will come back.

You can use this URL for now :

https://www.redhotpawn.com/chess/chess-game-history.php?game_id=your game id here

e.g.

https://www.redhotpawn.com/chess/chess-game-history.php?game_id=15709745

Make sure you don't post the game id into into "&cbqsid=nnnnn" if directly editing the address.

You must update the "?game_id=nnnnn" part.

This is now back, where it was before, in the side column of the games directory.
