As the current work comes to an end (see Thread 195428) after a rather longer than intended period of development*, I would like to get some eye balls on it and early feedback.

This will not be an open beta, so I would like some volunteers who I can grant access who can then spend a week or so making some moves and using the web site as they would during their daily routine - and provide feedback about any problems.

This may start as early as the end of next week, depending on how internal testing progresses. Thanks in advance.

*This is a massive understatement.

@Russ
I'm still a member of the RHP Beta testers club, and I'm on here every day, so I'll give it a test drive.
Will you be putting the BETA link there?

Thanks, I'll message everyone individually, but results can be discussed here.

Send me a link. As long as there is some rapid/bullet chess I can test.

@congruent

The live chess is aiming to be just as it is now, for now, so don't expect improvements there yet.

Sometimes half the work is making things function as they did before - but the live chess has not received any attention other than making it compatible with other changes elsewhere. Live rating are on the radar after this release though. (Back dated over all existing played games too.)

I hoped to make this available for the weekend and next week, but missed that target due to issues found in testing. Apologies for the delay - hopefully the call out for testers will not be too premature.

Will we be getting board coordinates for FENs and PGNs inserted into threads?

Yes, and a year ago it was done too. Thread 195428. (The last year has been on fast forward for sure!)

Obviously this kind of delay isn't great, but soon I'll be back to being in a position to push out changes to production again relatively quickly.

Thanks all. If tomorrow goes as planned, then I should be contacting you each with access details.

All clan admin will be turned off for more testing, but other than that, it should be all good. I'll provide details tomorrow hopefully.
