One other thing I noticed missing is the little number indicator that appears on the browser tab(s) when someone's made a move. Super useful.

In general, I like the look of the new stuff. Nice work!

Rating Trend graph - if I click on 'expand' the modal window appears, but the graph in the main page has then disappeared and remain blank. I know you said some graphs are causing console errors but not sure if this is a known issue or not.

This is the most nitpicky thing ever but...

On profiles where it lists User Id, Joined, Last Daily Move, Last Live Game, Vacation Remaining ... if the user has never played a live game the spacing between Last Live Game and Vacation is shorter than the spacing between the other items.

Sorry for so many in a row!

In Explore Games, if I make a move on the board, in the top right it says 'Please wait...searching' but this is white text on light peach background so very difficult to see/read.

This was not a known issue, and unrelated to the pie chart issue described in the first post.

Now fixed! A nice head-scratcher, that bug.

I just noticed on the beta that the 'game history' button is no longer there on the game board display page. Is that a bug, or intentional?

Also, on the 'My Games' page, the 'All Games' main folder does not bring up a list of all games played by you. It just shows the games from your 'Inbox' sub-folder. (already posted this one a few days ago, so a reminder)

@shannon removed their quoted post

This was a common problem elsewhere too with text overflowing when long messages sent.

Now fixed.

Actually caused by a missing value for when no move was made, so still relevant. Fixed.

Both the missing My Games button and Game history buttons have been reintroduced. The game play board UI is getting a revisited at a later date (when the new board code is introduced) so whatever is chosen now will still be relatively temporary anyway.

Thanks, I missed that. If no folder has been previously chosen, the default will be All Games now.

4. The FEN generator allows only legal positions. Can you get it to allow illegal positions? This is sometimes useful for teaching purposes and puzzle solving.

Colored check marks now indicate legal / illegal.

Good going Russ! That is working again, but now the other problem comes up. 'All Games' is now on a single ten mile long page, since there aren't several shorter pages.

But it isn't limited to just this one data list. It's going to be an issue for any of the 'single long page' of items.

So maybe at some time you can incorporate the 'fast find' system you pointed out on the Blogs page on all 'single long page' lists, where we can go quickly to a year and month without having to scroll down that long single page!

🙂 I know, there is no rest for the weary!
