Beta Feedback thread

@RooksandHooks
add at least two blank spaces at the front of your reply to separate your text from the username link. For now, anyway. 😆

@moonbus okay

@Russ now my max board size is smaller than how my max board size used to be if that makes sense ;-)

@Russ said
I'll reproduce the issue, and if I can't, then a clip would be very useful. No need right now though.

On the new analysis board, it no longer differentiates between moves made and moves yet to be made. I quite often play out a few moves and then go back and forth a bit - difficult to know exactly where to go back to without that visual clue.

Further to this, on any interactive board :

@Russ


if I actually reduce my screen size on the browser bar to 67% the board becomes bigger that way also

@Russ just read your first message post ..


When set to max, the board will try to take all vertical space with the captured material always sat below it. Scrolling should no longer be necessary - everything should be visible in your window regardless of size, unless on mobile.- Board coordinates inset - insert coordinates or outset, like currently. (on by default)- Show legal moves (on by default) - available moves are highlighted as a piece is selected.-


some players will still want a massive board to see ??? just asking the question

Hi Russ,

I notice that in the forums new-lines seem to be missing within the threads.
Posts that are multi-line on dailychess.com are all on one line on beta.redhotpawn

Makes for awkward reading as there's no whitespace added between what were separate lines.

So far no one has said they can't see the board at all on Window 7 or an obscure Linux distribution, so that is a small victory! (I'll regret saying this, I'm sure)

There will be obsolete Macs/Safari combinations that don't work though, I'm just not sure right now how far back you need to go to break it without firing up very old hardware.

If you jump between the production site and the beta, and you have made changes to your board/set, you may see some unexpected results when viewing the board on the production site.

To avoid this, if you plan to jump back and forth, select a combination that is supported by both sites.

On the beta, things not to test -

- Live chess is not testable
- Uploading images is not supported.
- Blog images are not viewable when viewing blogs. These will be visible on the final release.

Invalid moves are rejected without the submission round-tripping to the server now, as all legal moves are known already. You will see a flashing pink tile if an invalid move is made and instantly rejected.

The issue with sending P.M.'s has be resolved Russ, that was a quick fix!!!
