Would anyone miss the navigation feature on the profile graphs?
I am considering introducing a proper graph (an image), which will show rating over time with the x-axis fixed at daily intervals.
So, would this be upgrade or a downgrade in your opinion?
Keep in mind that if I do use a graph I may well be able to map on other stats such as the number of moves each day too.

Originally posted by OuermyhteNo reason why this could not happen, but I would prefer to retire it if possible. I would definitely make it an option early on during any switch anyway.
I dont know, i use the navigational feature quite a lot.
Would it not be possible to have a link to the old graph as well?

As the genius code monkey that you are, could u not use a linked image map to include the navigation feature in a proper image graph? I'm sure that algorithm isn't as hard as one might think.

I find it a great way to quickly check on opponents games against good opponents both for their general standard of play and for their opening repetoire. I don't find the 'view all public games' options any good for this.

Originally posted by ExyPrimarily, I use it to play a game kind of like the game 'Find the needle in the haystack', I call it 'Find the skeeter victory against a 2000+ player which isn't a timeout'. A fiendishly difficult game of skill, logic, perseverence and patience. 😉

On a more serious note, if I want to have a look at an opponent, good player, suspicious player, I'll look through the graph looking at big rating drops/climbs and look through the games in question. It is an essential part of my RHP experience, and it would be a serious downgrade in my mind to lose it.
Such and Such's public games isn't of much use to me, as its very very slow to navigate with all the images.

I never ever use it for looking through my own games, only others.
