But Conditional Moves seems very broken. I launch it and the board is blank. I hit Reset... and the pieces appear. I can move an opponent's piece but not make a move of my own.

I use Chrome on a Windows 10 laptop and the browser is up to date. However I checked and it works on IE.
I've failed to reproduce this.

Win 10 / "Google Chrome is up to date Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)"

Anyone else? If so, please post Chrome build you are using (From Help menu in Chrome)

Good job, Russ!

Looking good on my Kindle Fire HD8. Screen proportions are perfect.

I love that the forum improvements render similar to the PC version now. I hated how it was so different before.

Looks good! Thanks for the updates!

Hi Russ,

I notice that clicking on a player's name opens the profile in a separate window. Nice idea, but not followed through to its wow! consequence. As is, the separate window is immovable and blocks the primary window. Wow! would be a movable separate window which I could drag to my second monitor and keep open simultaneously with the primary window.

(Not relevant on mobile devices, I know, but would be nice to have on a desktop computer.)

Header images are different now; must find one that fits the new dimensions.

Now testing Firefox 61.0.2 64-bit in Win 8.1.

Thanks for the font size feature! This does not seem to be available on Apple devices (so far tested Mac desktop computer, iPad, iPhone6S, iPhone 8); is this intentional?

No text misalignment issues, as on iPhone 6S above. Seems to be resolved with better screen resolution.
I suspect this is the result of using the "display zoom" mode on IOS. This will be investigated, but turning off display zoom should resolve the issue for now.

The clock needs work. When the middle color is small it just over runs the next one.. Outside of that it all looks pretty good.

Update: no glitches found on Firefox 61.0.2 64-bit in Win 8.1.

The missing font button persists in iOS mobile devices, both zoomed and standard mode. The font button appears on the Mac desktop computer when the Safari zoom factor is reduced enough (Apple -), disappears when zoom factor increases (Apple +). Screenshots in transit.

Thank you for doing further testing.

The font scaling option is deliberately dropped on smaller screens because the page layouts become completely unmanageable if scaled.

This is why the IOS zoomed mode needs a little more work.

Internet users are increasingly mobile users, and I appreciate that it is a herculean task to keep up with all the different mobile devices on the market. No doubt your server stats reveal which devices and browsers are the most common visitors to RHP, and of course, you have to code for the thick part of the bell curve, not the two or three people using OS/2 or QupZilla.

Preliminary indications are that both QupZilla and Opera work as expected (including conditional move feature).

Yes, After these changes, I don't seem to be able to make conditional moves now.

Conditional moves screen shows only a blank board, no pieces, resetting or restarting the program does not resolve the issue. Icon to the left of the RHP title, that shows up on the bookmarks bar, looks like a blank folder, instead of the RHP icon that had a yellow background & a black knight. Using Google Chrome on Windows 10, desktop, Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit).
