When I make a capture, the captured piece does not go to the captures tray, it just disappears. I have to submit my move, then get the board back again to see the capture. It still works OK but I'd prefer to see it the same as the old board, where the captured piece shows up immediately.
Originally posted by yavashThere are new board sizes and piece sets with the new site, and if you try going back and forth you'll end up with blank boards and worse. I'd suggest you persevere with the beta format, because ultimately the old format will disappear. I've been on the beta site for more than two months, and looking back I can see it took a couple of weeks before I stopped swearing and complaining and started finding the good things. Now I only dig up the old site when I need a game number (game numbers are a little harder to find on the beta).
it would help if i read the first post eh!
i did go and re do the chess board settings but to no avail. back on the old format. i like it here

I think it may be helpful to the site God if those with site issues would include their browser and device info.
Live long and prosper.
The "dynamic" captured pieces are now back in.
An issue that had not been reported previously during this beta, but was driving me nuts personally, has also been fixed.
When a drag was started on an iPad/Android device (any webkit based browser) the dragged piece would sometimes flash momentarily in somewhat random locations (normally top left). This very annoying bug was quite elusive, but now squished, and I am now fighting the urge to down tools, head out into the sunshine and celebrate with my publican. 😵
New trivia item:
MyHome page, Completed Games In Last 7 Days, message from opponent has a problem with text, it doesn't quite fit because the bottom fifth of the text is obscured. PC,FF,W7
As far as that goes, the shape of the MyHome page is now pretty strange, half in one format, half in another. We've lost the click-to-close function which used to make it easy to get the junk out of the way. The whole page is pretty pointless really, virtually everything has been provided in a better format elsewhere. I have only two reasons for visiting the MyHome page at all: (1) list of available tournaments (2) access to MyPerformance page. Both of these have other places they could go. Does anyone use the MyHome page for anything else?

I'm expecting a busy week of fire fighting next week addressing issues! Should be fun...
Then on to that blitz update using the new UI. Looking forward to this work.
PUBLIC BETA
I think I have entered a chaotic public wing of a hospital.
PUBLIC BETA.........5th floor.
PRIVATE PATIENTS.............follow the red carpet.
