New Features & Fixes - May 26 2009

We did a few minor things today:

- New homepage ( http://www.chess.com )! Should be much cleaner and easier on the eyes. Don't forget to check it out when you are not logged in!

- Messages: Some people were upset about old messages being deleted. We're very sorry :( We have now added the ability to "Archive" messages. Just go to any message you want to save and click on ARCHIVE. Everyone can archive 25 messages.

- Added "Daily Columns" to the READ navigation bar. Cool feature! -> http://www.chess.com/daily-columns.html

- removed the points gained by submitting questions to the Endless Quiz (you used to get 10 points for submitting a question - now you get none, people were abusing it)

- added more pages of comments to: http://www.chess.com/tactics/comments.html

- added ability to search by pass % here: http://www.chess.com/tactics/problems.html

That's it :) Small stuff!

forums link on the logged-in front page doesn't work... the one in the center of the page? Recent Forum Posts or what not? Broken.

 

also, what news on iPhone? There's a link to it but no info.

Also, ironically, for a few minutes during the downtime I had a favicon back, on google chrome 2.0... but it's gone again. Need favicons!

i really love it too.  i wonder where the "last posts" feature went though.  although it wasn't always reliable, i did like to see the most recent posts...

Always appreciate you keeping us in the loop, no matter how large or small the outage/update is.  Laughing

Wow, I must say, this is a most welcome change. Just beautiful. When the page loaded today, I was really stunned for a bit :)
