Forum

Edited 10/8/21 In recent weeks the volume of posts to the beta forum has rocketed. The purpose of the forum is to report bugs and provide feedback with regard to the Beta version. The Chess.com staff need to review each post. As responsible members of the Beta community each of us should do our best to:1. Minimize duplicate topics by: a. Checking to see if there already is a topic. (see item 2) b. Not posting multiple topics, instead post a comment2. When posting a topic provide a clear concise Topic title so readers can accomplish item 1a. Far too many times their is a topic of just "Bug". This is doing a disservice to the Chess.com staff and the Beta community. Fix unclear topic title and topic message body via the Edit Forum Topic button:3. Include screen shots and or links to the game or page in question to make reproducing/confirming the issue easier.4. Don't hijack the topic with off topic comments or snarky/half-witty comments.5. Be considerate, There are young members and members where English is not their first language. Criticizing their grammar or spelling is not adding any value to the discussion.6. Help the Chess.com staff by reducing the posting traffic by asking yourself "Do I have a comment that adds value to the discussion?" If no then don't post.

I wanted to provide a high level weekly summary of what we've finished in the last week and what is currently in progress.  Its my intention to update this forum weekly on Fridays.  My report that is pulling this information is a work in progress and may not include all that is actually being worked on. Will improve in coming weeks.  Items listed as "Finished" may not yet be released but you should expect them released within the next week.  Finished: In Progress:

Beta Team!    Making sure that our dev team has all the correct information can dramatically lessen the amount of time required to fix bugs. To that end, please use the following template when submitting bug reports to Jira/Usersnap.    Bug Report Form: Overview:  Give a brief overview of the bug or suggestion.  Environment: List relevant browser, operation system, app version, device type, etc. Also add relevant username/profile links, game links, tournament ids etc.  Steps to Reproduce:  Give very specific step by step instructions for recreating bug even if the steps seem stupid. Include screenshots or video to insure there is no ambiguity.   For example, don't say, "Step 1. Sent 1 minute challenge" instead say, "Issue 1 minute challenge from post game modal after having finished another game." Result: Give detailed explanation of what happens as a result of the steps you listed above. Provide screenshot or video to demonstrate bug exactly.  Expected Result: Provide what should have happened instead of the bug, even if it seems obvious.    Use the template below. Simply Copy Paste it in the bug report pop up: Beta Bug Report  Overview:   Environment:  Steps to Reproduce:   Result:  Expected Result:  Chess.com always happy to recieve feedback, especially when you encounter bugs or when features don't work as well as you expect. Though, we do ask that you keep your feedback respectful both in bug reports and public forums. Abusive behavior may result in removal from Beta club.  Thank you very much! Your feedback will help greatly!

plz help

I just got a message that said i played a cheater, but my elo is still not updated

Hello, Since the latest app update, I’ve been experiencing an issue when reviewing my games. After reviewing a match, the performance percentile (e.g., 82%) does not remain saved. Previously, once I reviewed a game, the performance percentage stayed visible. Now, after reviewing, if I exit and return to the game, the review icon (the magnifying glass) appears again, and I have to review the game every time to see the performance. It seems the review is not being properly recorded. I wanted to report this for awareness and possible fixing. Thank you very much for your time and support.

Everytime I do a conditional move in a game and leave and I go back to that game, there's a move that wasn't even done. (P.S) I could have won in one of the game if it weren't the issue. Somebody, PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEMS. 

simple fork is 4000 rated puzzle?!!!

Whenever I go to Settings > Social, it lags for 10 seconds, just to load ALL of my followers. I really like how it's organized from the first person you followed to the last person you followed But the thing is, I have around 1580 followers on Chess.com, and I have followed 1820 people (because when you become friends with someone on chess.com they follow you and you follow them automatically). Point is, I have so many followed people, and whenever I want to change something in Settings > Social, I have to wait 10 or more seconds, for this entire list to load. Now, Hikaru has over 37000 friends.. would it take 10 MINUTES to load a simple page? It should only show the top 20, and if you want to see more, you go to Page 2, and Page 3, and so on, just like the old version of Settings.

I think it would be cool to set a goal like gain 100 elo points and have like a friend join and race to who can get the goal the fastest? It would be something to work toward and it would be fun. Like on the homepage there could be a like section or object or what ever showing each of you and your friend(s) progress on the goal. And it could also be a optional feature that can be on the homepage

What is this goofy board?

This was 4000

So this is the forum for all my suggestions. Suggestion - 1  Make a total win/lose/draw chart across ALL time controls. It makes me feel good if I see that I have won more games than lost. Suggestion - 2 Make a Ranking on who won most points for a club. This makes people work on a goal like "Hey! I want to get 100 daily match points for all the clubs I have joined!" Suggestion - 3  Auto save announcements. One time I was writing a 100+ word announcement for my club except since i was copying links I accidentally refreshed the screen and I had to write every thing again! This happened almost 4 times to the the point where I used google docs LOL. What do you have to say about it Martin Stahl

could chess.com make more insane level bots with different types?

And when I will see the notifs doesn't appear! How I solve it?!

To behonest, i really don't like the wiggle when dragging pieces, why can't it just be still. It was fine before, but for some reason one day it just decided to change, and i want to change it back

i have zero idea what is going on here.
