I can't see Tournaments/"My Active" anymore

I assume you mean the "my games" list. There is a button with two arrows, there you can choose the sorting criteria.

Hi Russ, long time website user here. With the new interface, I would appreciate an option to display my current/active games, in addition to the choices of all, my move, opponent's move, and completed. Being able to see both my move and my opponent's move games at the same time is important - I like to keep track of how many games I'm playing at once.

Also, are the archive folders a thing of the past now? I don't see them anywhere in the new interface.

Thanks,
David

No, when you click My Home button, the default seems to be Most Urgent Games. Be good to have this as oldest games and to show in pages like before?

Love the new version, I especially like the option to keep white at the bottom. (I learnt chess from books!) Thank you.

@Russ
Thanks. I missed the folder selection icon at the bottom left of the screen, so that takes care of that issue for me. I was viewing "all" instead of "inbox" which is what I wanted.

Is there a way to get the "compact" view to be truly compact? Like, one line per game as in the old interface? Currently on my phone's browser, one game takes up almost the entire screen. Thanks for your work!

I use an Android phone (Google Pixel 7a), and I'm pretty sure it's the default view (not zoomed).

In forum thread list view I can’t see how to navigate to “last post”

Any change is going to get some criticism while people get used to it.

My only dissatisfaction so far is the amount of head text at the top on the screen. When I clicked into my games on the website via a phone I can't see the first game and have to scroll down a bit just to enter it. That shouldn't be the case. Also a lot of rubbish at the top when you go into the forums, the box to type is right at the bottom until you click on it.

Working on PC seems okay, it is on my phone I can't see stuff but I will continue to faff about with it. One of my games I put opponent in check but it didn't state this anyway (that I could see).

I will look into that.

Regarding phone issues, any screenshots of the problems are useful, so send a feedback, and I can give you an email address to send on any screenshots?
