Another bug. There's no "Post new thread" button in forums.
At thread level I get the forum badge, then it should be Forum list then New thread. Instead it's thread list, forum list, etc. No new thread anywhere.

If I open a game, there are often some pieces missing, and they only pop up when I click on the board. Pieces also often disappear from the game page when I open the analyze board, and again only reappear when I go back to the page and click on the board.

It's XP Prof, SP2, using IE 6.0.2900.2180 at 1280x1024.
For those unable to reproduce it, a sample screengrab is at

It really isn't a great big deal, but it looks odd.
A tip is to switch to a standards compliant browser, such as Firefox or Opera. Also, the mighty giant has promised that the next version of IE will be more standards compliant. Perhaps then, this issue will also get fixed.
[Edit: Another solution for Russ, would be to hide the formobject when the menu opens using javascript, but it seems like overkill.]

Originally posted by NordlysThis is probably the repaint bug in Opera showing its dreaded face. If you minimize your window and restore it, the pieces should be visible again.
Quite possibly... But as I said, it doesn't happen with the old board.
In Opera 9 this problem will have been fixed. The reason for this being a problem with the new board and not with the previous could be that Russ has relied more heavily on CSS and/or javascript. But the exact details as to why the problem occurr escapes me at the moment (haven't been coding interfaces a lot lately). But the problem is probably a bug in Opera 8.

Originally posted by stockenThis is odd. I couldn't resign the game in the old interface either. :
Uhm, I just resigned a game I was loosing miserably. I gave a "good game" end speach, with a smiley to step away from the board with a little dignity left.
But...
...the game is still on. :
You might want to look into that one. 🙂

This one looks like some kind of bug with the redraw.
http://www.misthaven.org.uk/blog/pics/rhpbug.jpg
basically this was my last game in the list, so it stayed on the page after I made my move. The problem is that the pawn move was only shown in green, but the pawn itself had not moved. If I look at the game now the pieces are correct, the problem was only in the screen immediately after making the move.
It may be reproducable by setting move pref to stay on current game, but I have no active games awaiting moves at the moment so can't prove it.

'New thread' button is now available when reading a thread too.

I'm not finding the "action" system very intuitive.
Game navigation adds to the action list, but if I'm at the current position (say move 20), and click Back to the original position. Then, if I undo that action, The board is at the move 20, but the game navigator is at the start of the game, if you get me.
