The text of the RHP menus in the red bar was set a less intense white for two continues pages. Only two pages, then it went back to the (I assume) correct whiteness as my name and number of games information at the upper right indicate. I haven't seen it before happening, so I just easily assume it is has something to do with the newest RHP version.

Browser Safari 1.2.3, Mac OS 10.3.5.
This seem to happen ONLY and EVERYTIME when I am viewing my own games via the page /core/playchess.php. Everything goes well when I view games via the board history (/gameanalysis/boardhistory.php).

And not only on Safari 1.2.3, Mac OS 10.3.5, I am now running on Safari 1.2.4 with Mac OS 10.3.8, which shows the same thing.

By the way, if it is valuable information; if I view a menu, that menu is transparant (I can see the icons of Open Invites, or Find Player and the game board through the menu), but each item in that menu (like My Private Forums in the Forums menu, et cetera) gets a normal white background when I move my cursor on in.

I can provide a screenshot if that is appreciated.

It seems to only do it when a peice was captured on the last turn.

If so, make a move, (it will be slow, as you describe)
Then delete you browser cache and let me know if the problem continues. Thanks.

Clearing the cache helps it some but it is slow to respond. I get the feeling it has more to do with this server rather than the site. I have no problem on my home system running IE6

Not sure if it is part of the test, but on IE7, when sending a ,move reminder, it opens into a new tab on the browser. Not sure if that is such a good idea, as it could very quickly lead to multiple tabs being left open on the systems.


EDIT: Of course now that I am trying to duplicate it, it doesn't happen.
Ok Figured out what happened here, and I think it is an IE7 design.

If you click on any link using the scroll wheel button, it will open the link into another tab.

This doesn't happen on IE6 (I know version 6 doesn't have tabs, it just doesn't open into another window)

I will update the code with a new compressed file, which should improve things (this was always intended, but left until I knew everything else was working OK.).

I just found out that the fast forward button in the analysis board sometimes leads back to the last position in the game, other times it doesn't do anything. In both cases, I was in a set up position before clicking the button, and it was in the same game. I tried several times and could reproduce both behaviours, but I can't see a pattern.

The email backup for PMs doesn't seem to work. Maybe that function just isn't activated in the beta version? I wish I had known that before I deleted a pile of PMs. 🙁

Russ, just thought you might appreciate an update.I have had no problems with the beta thus far, it seems to be working fine for me. I like the updated time displays- very helpful.

Excellent. Thanks. I need to spend a little more time getting some final gremlins sorted and this code is nearly ready to release.

I have almost finished the new board selection form, which I will make available tomorrow. I have added some sets from some freeware chess fonts to the list too, giving a larger variety to choose from.

I'm not sure if this is completely finished yet, but I've been looking at the new board change screen. Very impressive.

A couple of issues so far -

One, minor issue, that it always says "this set was produced by" even if there is no producer.

Another, bigger issue. I've chosen a large, wooden, maya set and get

Fatal error: [Error edited out by Russ]

Sorry about that, I was called away right after the upload, so I didn't complete my beta server tests.

Both problems have now been fixed, thanks.

Now, see if you can complete all your games on the micro board.

Nice! Maybe the different board colour choices will also solve the problem for those who had trouble seeing the green squares under some circumstances?

Edit: Is it intentional that some sets have the same size on the standard and on the large board? They look a bit lost on the large squares.
