The new ChessatWork home page is really terrific. It makes lose any sense to this version of the twin sites.
With 3 huge boards in the center of the screen, how could someone be able to open the browser without being seen by every human being in the range of 800 meters? Not to talk about the enormous pop-up board appearing when clicking the "Info" link of "My games" page.
Please Russ rethink about this disaster or the until now useful ChessatWork will be of no mean.
Thanks for your attention.

I think its really good mate makes the site look much better and less tacky...
Keep up the good work russ and chris.
It was not me that created the Chessatwork version of RedHotPawn: it was Russ, I suppose.
In this way it's clear (for me but at this point I'm not sure it's the same for you) that is to detriment of Russ own work, the loss of meaning of one of the three sites.
Besides this opinion (that I think I'm allowed to express, to your disappointment) Admins work is praiseworthy 'n I'm grateful for their devotion.
Thanks for your attention.

It is a fair point. It can easily be modified, the home pages are just made of components which can be removed.
