That is a problem ONLY in the vs. computer play (which we cannot control). It works perfectly in the Email Chess (and future LIVE Chess). :)

About PAWN PROMOTION, there is an interesting issue:
I agree, there should be all options. It doesn't take much to program 3 additional options into the interface

This topic was from 2007 when the feature was brand new. I don't know about the version in use then but it may have been one they just hosted and didn't program at all. Pretty sure it's not a problem now. 
This hasn't come up in any of my human games yet but, when playing against the computer, I pushed a pawn to the 8th rank and it automatically promoted it to a queen. It did not give me the option to promote to another piece. This needs to be rectified because it can mean the difference between a won/drawn or even a lost game (there are scenarios when promoting to a knight might be winning, or promoting to a rook might win whereas promoting to a queen might force a stalemate, for example).
