Each post would have a ♡ icon next to it somewhere; if you click on it, it turns into a ♥ to indicate that you "love" the post. You might have a special page where you can review the posts you love. At the end of each day the post that got the most ♥'s is the "post of the day".

<Potential problems:>

1. Multiaccounting abuse to slant the scores encourages people to register multiple accounts for the purpose of gaming the system.

2. Some people will use the feature for with their own personal rules, such as to mark posts they DON'T like, and that will skew the final scoring.

3. Some of the most beloved posters might end up winning the prize nearly every day. A few are so humble they might be embarrassed at being featured so frequently and actually back off from posting.

4. I could easily see a complaint, or a snippy response to a complainer, or some other unkind put-down, elicit so many ♥'s that the "Post of the Day" becomes the "Whinge of the Day."

<Potential advantages:>

1. It's fun.

2. The ability to flag posts for later review is simply handy to have—even if we don't reveal the statistics to other users.

3. It might be interesting to read the "most loved post" to a famous game, player, etc.

4. It might encourage more quality posting, if people compete to be the most loved poster, for even a day.

Don't let fear dictate your decisions. It's a fun idea with zero negative side. The potential negatives listed thus far are really nothing at all. I mean, if these "negatives" actually weigh on someone, they are far too overly sensitive to be frank.

The idea that "complaints" will happens so we can't do "x" is so hard for me to understand. Who gives a damn about the whining complainers? They are complaining now about everything anyways.

We have people that complain about the Pun of the Day, for goodness sakes, but we won't stop that, will we?

Reminds me of the Bo Jackson commercial from way back where he's shown playing different sports while John McEnroe says "Bo knows tennis" and Michael Jordan says "Bo knows basketball."

"Rapid and blitz are very exciting formats, but I don’t think they are the 'future of chess'. I think, they are more like the 'present of chess'. In my opinion, we should start moving towards Chess960, just like we started to generate energy with renewable energy sources a while ago." (GM Srinath Narayanan, a co-founder of ChessMine)

Thank you for that.

I did try looking through all the Help pages and FAQ pages but I couldn't find a command to set up to go to the bottom of the page whenever I got went to the Home page so, needless to say, I couldn't find a command to ensure that I went to the top of the page whenever I went to the Home page.

I have an oldish computer running Windows XP and Internet Explorer v.8. I don't have this problem with either Chrome v.49 (the last version that works with XP) or Firefox v.52.3 but I like Explorer v.8 since it doesn't care that I'm using an older version of the "unsafe" Java environment and therefore I can use any Java-based browser I want without having to jump through hoops. Sorry about that since I realize that to you "Java" is a 4-letter word. But I don't think that you use Java on your Home page.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Yesterday I was able to view games. Today I am unable to view games.

I try to update Java and guess what? Oh, you need 10.7 or higher OS version!!!

So now I go to install it, and it's not available. I have to get El Capitan at a minimum, and Sierra is recommended.

(And some goofball Apple software engineer needs to start visiting the beach instead of the mountains every time he's ready to name an operating system. Maybe we can get Myrtle or Zuma. But I digress....)

Does anyone even care where I am on the freaking bathtub curve? I don't want to sink hours of my life updating my OS when my processor could die next year.

Anyway, my point is that I thought you were getting away from Java! Didn't I read on here a few weeks ago (or maybe it was another page, biographer's bistro?) that you were looking forward to not needing Java?

So maybe that's true and I just need to update my browsers? But then, you know what that means! Newer browsers aren't supported by my.... drumroll please... my OS!

OK, It appears that I made an erroneous assumption.

I get the same error message, and I <assumed> CHESS VIEWER was referring to Java.
