  Stonehenge: I keep getting a lot of 403 Forbidden messages since yesterday. I can visit a few pages and then it starts all over again.

Getting 403 Forbidden on every page.

  Stonehenge: From AI:

<When this error happens, resolves, and then reappears ("a few minutes and then again"), it is usually a sign of a temporary security block or a conflict between your browser data and the server's requirements.>

Mar-27-26  stone free or die: I got those 403 too. (And I thought I was special!)
Mar-27-26  stone free or die: FWIW - the 403's tended to come when looking for a particular post. The homepage seemed to load OK.

(The 403's went away for me, but I just got one trying to make this post!)

  stevemcd87: Re <403 forbidden>, We've made an update that should resolve this issue. Let us know if it persists. Sorry for the inconvenience

  Stonehenge: It seems to work now. But player pages don't seem to update anymore when I visit them (number of games, rating).

And please delete the photo here, that's not Shiyanovsky but Zaitsev.

Vladislav Shiyanovsky

Only a few days ago I changed the photo of some Yugoslav player. We had a photo of Razuvaev there. Whoever is responsible should be fired.

They always start off with such good intentions.

Mar-29-26  stone free or die: Speaking of good intentions -

I'm so glad <CG> is forcing me to turn on Javascript... otherwise I'd never have met my <EasternHonies>!

(There's still work-arounds, but I've learned better than to post them here. Besides, my honey is calling me!)

  MissScarlett: The Candidates start today. Will Steve be around for a Live Game transmission?
Mar-29-26  stone free or die:

So, we still haven't managed to get the <Live Game> to be handled by volunteers?

Would have been a good priority.

  Chessical: I have twice asked for computer analysis of Caruana vs Nakamura, 2026.

Whilst it appears that it is processing normally, no analysis is appended to the game and it does not show up in my Laboratory history.

Any explanation?

  FSR: Sorry. The PGN I just submitted for Di Lascio-Rhine is malformed. The problem is this bit: <Be715. Rd1>

There needs to be a space between "Be7" and "15.Rd1" Please add it. Thanks.

The player pages seem to work now, accept for Alexey Ivanov (1974).

He only has 16 games now, a bunch of them were misattributed.

And please delete that photo.

Mar-31-26  mel gibson: I checked again today with my Samsung Galaxy A35 mobile. I still can't use the site here except on my desktop with the Brave browser.

Only some adverts have the little cross in the top right hand corner so that I can delete them to view a chess game. Even then I can only see half a page and a new advert blocks the view 5 seconds later.

Some adverts have a fake cross close to the top right hand corner and when I click on that I am taken to the adverts site and have to use the back button to go back.

I've been telling this story to this site here for months yet no one is listening to me and nothing is done about it.

Mar-31-26  stone free or die: <mel gibson> I can sympathize, those I rarely use mobile features.

Still, I've noticed the ads are much easier to close properly if you blowup (zoom in) the screen to the X's first, before clicking.

But, I also noticed that the ads quickly reappear - much too quickly in my opinion, to the point of annoyance.

I understand the need to generate revenue, and demonstrate the ads get seen, but the ad refresh rate is likely to drive traffic off the site (imo).

I'm sure there will be the "upgrade to premium" refrain, but still, the site was much friendly to non-premiums in the past.

It doesn't really bother me -
I use a desktop computer -
I'm just trying to save this website as most people nowadays use mobile phones.
