I tried it with all three. FireFox, Chrome, and IE with all the same result. It just blanks out the board.

When I first started using the new interface (beta version) two months ago, I had some serious complaints. Now, all the ones that really mattered have been fixed, and all I have left is a small grumble about sorting by time remaining, which isn't good. Still, it's hardly a game-changer ...

Anyone else?
It seems like a few days were enough to adapt...

... appears most site members have, with public complaint levels decreasing to almost nil.

You'll be busy for a while resigning 105 games then, won't you?

Ctrl + is your friend.

Well, I guess you get your action where you can find it. 😛

I thought you were a nice girl. 😉

I don't get this. This site is far superior to GameKnot in every way. Last time I was even on that site was 2 years ago, and they're still sending me tournament notifications.

If people can't adapt, screw 'em. My Settings should have been everyone's first stop. There are also tools in your browser (that you presumably use every day, yet still don't know how it works) to ease the transition. I'm tired of websites catering to the lowest common denominator in their users. The conversation might even improve if we let all the stupid ones leave.

Changing your settings should not be an "it sucks!" moment. Spend five minutes now and suddenly you have nothing to complain about. Maybe that's why people don't just do it.

I'm a chick, my action comes to me, most of the time. I can afford to be picky. 😉

Ah ha ha ha. Well answered.

If GK is still like it was years ago, the complainers will discover that they don't get to complain there.

You guys/girls are really fun to read. This was all about the old print board button that we lost--and is now back at a better spot--the bottom of the page.

In general--I didn't think we should have to add another software--just to print the board. I have since added chrome (and like it) and it will print the board if you check the background button.

Thanks,
Lee
