I propose that PGN comments be moved to the side of the board where there is more room for them.

If it aint bust then don't fix it.
It works, it they start tinkering and tampering then the notes will start
appearing in other threads or even upside down.
Leave well alone.
I'd like a colour thingy though so you can highlight a weak square, a long
diagonal/open file, loose piece etc. But that is light years away.
First the RHP DB must get updated.

Wonder what's happening to the new you-beaut user interface that we were promised light-years ago?
The actual visual appearance won't be so dramatic but saying that, there will be lots of new animations ( including 'drag and drop', I guess that's called an animation also..perhaps, I've no idea ) so the 'impact on the code is huge'..Russ said that it really IS a major release, the biggest so far, and he wanted to get it just so...but, as of April this year, there were some pretty big issues with the conditional move interface, so he decided to totally re engineer the way it works..

This suggestion is now a reality for Greasemonkey users:

Edit: I am curious - what does Chrome have that Firefox does not?

Never again lol.

Oh, I just looked and apparently the 'V8 JavaScript engine' is something to write home about with chrome also 😉

I'm interested in other folks' experiences here. I once installed Google Chrome but had so many crashes and system failures that I uninstalled and went back to Firefox, which is admittedly slow to load and very occasionally becomes a memory hog, but still my browser of choice. I don't like searching directly from the address bar because it tends to head straight for a webpage with that name, which is probably not what I'm looking for, instead of giving me choices the way the search bar does. With a wide screen there's plenty of room for both.

The one process per tab would be nice if a page crashes, to be sure.
But my main reason for using Firefox is: Ad-Block.
