Is anyone else having problems with Geoffs posts?
On my chromebook I can no longer see the full screen on the games and puzzles without scrolling up and down.
I can alter the screen size on everything else.

I use an HP notebook computer and Geoffs games and puzzles have always come through very clear on my end.

What is NOT always coming through very clear is my ability to solve all of those tactics' puzzles. 🤔

Thanks for replying.
I don't have a problem with the clarity,it's the size of the text.
If I am trying to go through a game using the buttons at the bottom ,to get to them I lose the top half of the board display.

It seems Geoff is too tall! Tell him to crouch down a bit when making the puzzles.

For me, the right side of the boards are off screen.
(Android phone)
Also, the next move buttons are too far away.
Scroll up, scroll down. Yawn.

I have all of these problems all the time in every setting, no matter what I do. No one, including the administration, has been able to show me how to correct this. The recent changes to RHP have been a disaster. I believe RHP should go back to the old way, which was much clearer and easier.

It works, good enough.

Not in my opinion. It's much worse than before these recent changes. The smaller board makes things difficult, so much so that I'm considering leaving RHP. On the other hand, if it went back to the old way, I'd consider paying annual dues again.

You have been talking about leaving RHP for two months.

There HAS to be something in YOUR settings or YOUR hardware.

Sure some people who play on phones are bound to have a space / size issue but you seem to be having more problems than most it seems.

Chess was designed to be played on a board over a foot square not on some 3 inch by 2 inch phone screen; how you can play on those things is beyond me.


For the record I have logged on to RHP on three separate desktops, two different laptops, two different phones and an old i-pad and have not experienced any of the issues to which you refer.

Agreed. Those phone screens are only slightly larger than a postage stamp. I'll take a standard tournament board over a phone any day.

I've been playing on the same laptop all this time and haven't changed any settings. The problem is the changes made by RHP, with the further problem that RHP is unable to help.

You say you have been playing on "the same laptop all this time" then that could explain your problem as you have been here 18 years; your laptop is obsolete.

I've been using this laptop for about 13 years. It works for everything else just fine.

It might be that the graphics board or something is not modern enough to support RHP software.

Sorry I cannot help further.
