To operate these moves it is necessary to scroll down to the bottom of the page underneath the advert and then back up again to see the move and then again and again and again. Up down up down......
Would it not be possible to have the move buttons in the same view as the board.
Yeah, I know this is a non subscriber issue but it makes it almost unusable or was that the intention, I wonder????

Oh! I didn't even realize that there *was* a back move button. I've just been using my browser's page back and page forward buttons. It's worked fine for me. Y'all might want to try it. :-)
I *loooooove* Games Explorer! :-D
:-)
Unless you scroll down and click the right button. And then back up to see what it was......ad infinitum.

Also, just maximise the Analyse Board screen, and you don't need to scroll.

If you carry on to the rest of the game it opens in a new window with the aforementioned scenario.
Just checked again and it seems to be the same in the analyse board too.

Screenshots done in IE mode but it's virtually the same in firefox. When you go down past the advert or the white square to the arrows the board is too far up to see it. If it was just under the "cancel" link it would be ideal.
What does it look like to a subscriber? I guess the middle block is just not there??

It probably still works ok for you as you are a recent sub. [that's just a guess]
1) subscribe 😉
2) get a bigger monitor
Either of these should sort the problem.
[for the record, I think you're talking about the 'game history' and not games explorer (http://www.timeforchesss.com/gamesexplorer)]

1. I wouldn't subscribe JUST to see some buttons that ought to be visible when the board is on the screen.
2. I wouldn't get a bigger monitor JUST to correct this fault. (actually not too easy to get a bigger monitor on a laptop anyway]
Any more bright ideas? 🙁
edit: and btw that link is broke unless TFC is.
