what to do when challenged?

i have a question regarding a challenge i want to accept. i usually recieve the challenges via an email which contains a link to view the challenge. if i click the link i am taken to my online chess page. where do i go from there? i want to accept some of the challenges so as to not be a wimpy member of chess.com. please tell me the correct procedure to accept the challenge. if i get my ass kicked in the process, i'll hate on you for life:) TIA,...ppeets

On your online chess page, there is a section for "challenges recieved." Click "view" on the challenge you want to accept and click "ACCEPT."

bigOto, thank you i'll try that next time i never noticed that button. btw, did you know in hawaii oto is a slang for butt

I'm in the same position. I do not see a "challenges received" section on my home page.

Since I came to chess.com first and played a couple games, then noticed on my email I had been challenged and returned to my home page, I wonder if the "challenges received" section was hidden the second time I visited.

Do either of you have a yellow box in the upper-right corner of the screen? If so, you should find the challenges received there.

Nope. It may have been there the first time I came to my home page after the challenge was created, but I didn't notice it. Now it is not there.
