I think it was mentioned that flashing avatars would be disallowed. I hope that is still the case as the constant movement when studying a game can be very offputting as well as possibly giving headaches etc if you saw it for too long. I don't want to sound melodramatic but they certainly make me feel ill quite quickly.
Originally posted by mghrn55There's a drop-down selection box showing the default (queen) which you click on if you want one of the other choices. It's now done BEFORE you submit the move, so it can't mangle the game the way the old system used to if the promoted piece wasn't selected.
Question ...... when a pawn reaches the 8th rank, the promotion defaults to a Queen.
If a player wants to promote to other than a queen, how is it done ?

A learning curve for sure.....

Russ .... would it be possible to re-instate the game count on the game list ?
We used to have it.....
If it is showing somewhere and I have missed it let us know.
At present I have to go into my player profile to find out how many games I have in progress.
Needless to say...... a pain in the $%#@ !!

Now I see something else....
I just offered a draw and in viewing my games, I can't tell that game apart
from the other games awaiting opponents move.
Old screen used to display "opponent's decision".
Bringing up the game doesn't help either.
As usual, if I am missing something, let me know.....
Thanks....

When I offered a draw , I went back into the game and somwhere it said something like "a draw has been offered with your last move", but the opponents decision message was more helpful.

I offered an opponent a draw.....
I see no trace whatsoever that I did so.
From my games view and the board view.
This needs to be looked at.
