< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 230 OF 445 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-22-21    Stonehenge: Thanks, next one :) Alexander Eltsov Nov-22-21    beatgiant: <Stonehenge> I am planning to write a script to locate and repair them all in the near future. Nov-23-21    MissScarlett: <My kingdom for a horse (by and a bishop, and a rook) (BxChess)> The software has screwed up the GOTD title - it should be <My kingdom for a horse (and a bishop, and a rook) (by BxChess)> Nov-23-21    MissScarlett: I'm trusting this will be corrected in minutes... Nov-23-21    Messiah: Do you plan organizing a sitewide correspondence game against a famous player, or even between CG members? Nov-23-21    diceman: <Messiah: Do you plan organizing a sitewide correspondence game against a famous player, or even between CG members?> Everybody vs Justin! Nov-24-21    MissScarlett: Has <zanzibore> gone to ground? Complain, complain, complain..........ok, come and help us.....disappears. Nov-24-21    MissScarlett: Are we ready to go with a Live Game on Friday? Nov-25-21    Messiah: <MissScarlett: Are we ready to go with a Live Game on Friday?> I doubt. Nov-25-21    Susan Freeman: <MiisScarlett> YES! Tomorrow is the opening ceremony. We are good to go. Steve is excited. I wish I were in Dubai. Nov-25-21    Susan Freeman: <Messiah> perhaps you should consider A different user name. 😊 Nov-25-21    jessicafischerqueen: <Messiah IV: The Revenge: This time it's Personal starring Michael Caine> It's a good movie and a good handle brah. You'll thank me later. Nov-25-21    al wazir: Coming up on 20 years. (I don't suppose I'm the first to notice.) Are you going to have a party? Nov-25-21    al wazir: This may be the right place to post a complaint, I really, really don't like the latest software upgrade or retrograde or whatever it is. When I'm commenting on a position in a game, I click on "kibitz" in order to open the comment box. But now the game is gone! I can't see the position! I have to either do my analysis blindfold, go back and forth between the two screens (waiting interminably for the server to load each time), or keep two tabs open and toggle between them. Nov-25-21    Messiah: <Susan Freeman: <Messiah> perhaps you should consider A different user name.> I wish I could do that! I really don't like my username, it is a terrible one. Nov-25-21    MissScarlett: <. When I'm commenting on a position in a game, I click on "kibitz" in order to open the comment box.> Don't follow. Is this on a mobile? Nov-25-21    al wazir: <MissScarlett: Don't follow. Is this on a mobile?> No, desktop. (I'm using FireFox. The problem may be browser-dependent.) On my screen the word "kibitz" is about an inch (equivalent to 5--10 lines of text) below the most recently posted comment. The comment box headed by the words "Please compose your comment below" in red, in which I'm typing now, appears only after I click on it. To see the previous screen so I can review the position I'm commenting on I have to click on the back arrow -- but then the comment box and my comment are no longer visible. Nov-25-21    diceman: <al wazir: Coming up on 20 years. (I don't suppose I'm the first to notice.) Are you going to have a party?> CG will be able to get a drink next year! Nov-25-21    MissScarlett: I'm using Firefox on a laptop and nothing's different from before - the kibitzing box appears as normal, a nice big inviting sea of white. When did this change occur? Nov-25-21    al wazir: <MissScarlett: I'm using Firefox on a laptop and nothing's different from before - the kibitzing box appears as normal, a nice big inviting sea of white. When did this change occur?> Within the past few days. I think my computer may be having Issues. Nov-25-21    MissScarlett: Does anyone else recognise this problem? Nov-25-21    al wazir: <MissScarlett>: I viewed a <CG> page using Chrome. Clicking on the GotD brought up the old, familiar configuration, and *the comment box was visible*. Clicking on "kibitz" brought up that <nice big inviting sea of white>. I typed in a test comment. Clicking on "Preview Kibitz" showed what my message would look like when posted. (I didn't post it.) Clicking on the back arrow returned me to the page I had been looking at. Now *both the game board and the comment were visible*. All normal, SOP. For what it's worth, I went back to FireFox and tried viewing the page in a private window. No difference: the comment box doesn't appear until I click on "kibitz," and the back arrow takes me back to the game board with *the comment box hidden*. I logged out of chessgames.com and logged back in. No difference. I cleared my cache. No difference. Nov-26-21    WinKing: <MissScarlett: Are we ready to go with a Live Game on Friday?> <Susan Freeman: <MiisScarlett> YES! Tomorrow is the opening ceremony. We are good to go. Steve is excited. I wish I were in Dubai.> Not seeing a 'live' game. Nov-26-21    Willber G: <Stonehenge: Come on, make this a live game: Nepomniachtchi vs Carlsen> SECONDED! I'm becoming increasingly convinced that I'm wasting my money on this site.
