<Diademas> Have you tried typing in the boxes from a different computer? I'm pretty sure the default in these boxes is single spaced lines. I always have to hit the "dink" tab to make double space lines in these boxes.>I am not too proud to admit that I did not understand anything of that. :) |

 | | Annie K.: <Jess> I believe you may be referring to the button more commonly known as "Enter" or "Return"... :D That's a wonderful initiative <mckmac>, thank you! <Diademas> yes, it is possible to force single-spacing: just type a backslash (\) at the end of the misbehaving line. :) |

| | Diademas: Thanks <Annie K.>
They could write thick books about all the things I don't know.
Come to think of it - I think they already has... |

<Annie> yes I have to second the good <Diademas>- as usual you have supplied the correct instructions. Now that it's day time in Canada, I can see my keys and I can confirm your data. |

| May-05-19 | | thegoodanarchist: < whiteshark: <centralfiles> A company concerned/worried about its customers would do that. Hello, Kurt Widmann, you haven't been on our website for a month already....Some members have expressed their concern about your health.... We hope you are well...Let us hear from you... in such a way
That shouldn't be too hard, should it?> Good point, <whiteshark>! I am concerned about the health of <Big Pawn>. He hasn't been on the website for at least 7 months, by my recollection. It shouldn't be too hard for cg.com to inquire with <BP> about his health. Can you please check on the fellow? Thanks. |

| May-05-19 | | thegoodanarchist: <sonia91: <cg.com> Why was Carlsen's name bolded even before Grenke was finished, but Kashlinskaya, winer of the European Women's Championship, isn't? Also all previous events in homepage has the winner's name bolded, except the Euopean Women's.> Answer should be obvious. Carlsen is a much bigger deal in chess than anyone else. cg.com got it right, putting the WC Carlsen first. Well done! |

It shouldn't be too hard for cg.com to inquire with <BP> about his health. Can you please check on the fellow? Thanks.> Well, I hear that <big pawn> comes here every day with different userid (that userid claims to be <big pawn> everyday) and bashes admins and different users . Even <big pawn>'s staunchest supporter <tpstar> has repeatedly advised <big pawn> to behave . So , am I missing something or you just kidding or you playing some games , <thegoodanarchist > :) Thank you
Cheers :)

| May-08-19 | | Boomie: Those of you who can read may have noticed that the Chessgames Member Support Forum is for posting suggestions and requests to improve CG. This means that some admin must read each post. These off topic posts are just wasting the admin's time. |
|
| May-09-19 | | Boomie: CG should probably give up on the Olga project. Why try to reinvent the wheel? Olga is totally inferior to Deluxe II, for example. Olga can't retain multiple variations. You can't save a position by hitting the right button. The notation is ugly and actually hurts my eyes when I try to follow it. There are many chess playing objects out there. Why not use one of those? |
|
| May-09-19 | | Keyser Soze: <Why try to reinvent the wheel? Olga is totally inferior to Deluxe II, for example> Speak for yourself. Olga was a great endeavor from Daniel and it works imo. I find great, very light on cellphone. Love that big button . Deluxe was great because <java> was great. Java based platform now is a dinosaur imo. |

| | Diademas: Since the Grand Chess Tour Cote d’Ivoire (Blitz) (2019) page already exists, how about obening it for kibitzing? |

 | | chessgames.com: Everybody please keep in mind that this forum is not the place for personal sniping. All legitimate comments are welcome, including by members with free accounts. We would never want any members to be dissuaded from posting to our support forum out of fear of becoming the next target of derisive comments such as some of those recently cleaned up. |

| | Annie K.: <Boomie: <<<CG> did say that there were planned enhancements to Olga> Which still begs the question, why reinvent the wheel?>> As has been pointed out, Java, a necessity for CVD, is history. Most browsers don't support it anymore, and we have to move on with the times, so that wheel had to be reinvented, whether we like it or not. Daniel worked a great deal with Chris, the developer of Olga, to tailor this viewer specifically to the needs of this site. It is already integrated with chessgames in ways no other viewer would be, and we will continue to improve it. <Also why are they so unresponsive? The last message from CG was 2 weeks ago.> Please note that I post in administrative capacity as well. <Tab> we will upload several new tournaments soon. Anybody who has specific suggestions, please feel free to make them. :) <Diademas> we actually just closed it to kibitzing, because we intend to merge it with the Rapid section once the games are uploaded, and wanted to avoid comments to the page getting lost in the process. Please consider it an experiment in working out the easiest way to upload games en masse with the correct gametype (Rapid/Blitz). Meanwhile please just use the Rapid page for posting. We realize this isn't an ideal setup (people will want to discuss games on the page they are on...), and in the future won't be dividing Rapid&Blitz events intended to be counted together for the final scoreboard. |

| May-12-19 | | Boomie: <Annie K.: As has been pointed out, Java, a necessity for CVD, is history.> Thanks for your prompt reply.
I didn't mean to suggest a return to Java. I meant that since many others have created replacements for the Java boards, CG could maybe save a lot of time and money by just buying one of those. I know from painful experience that buying something is far cheaper than creating your own. Olga still has a long way to go. I've added some suggestions to the Olga forum. |

| | Tabanus: <Annie>, Rapid/Blitz, that's the right way no doubt but I hope good grief there's a combined table somewhere to copy from. I doubt there'll be. Ehrm, I sent in 60 games a week ago. |

Please consider it an experiment in working out the easiest way to upload games en masse with the correct gametype (Rapid/Blitz).> Probably the wrong tournament to experiment with. Given that rapid games count twice what the bitz games do, the final standing will be misleading for eternity . |

| | Annie K.: <Boomie: < I meant that since many others have created replacements for the Java boards, CG could maybe save a lot of time and money by just buying one of those.>> ...and those are fine if you're running a blog page, or a small and simple site, where you just want to display some pgn as a replayable game. CG is a large site, specializing in chess, that needs its viewer to work with the many very complex functions that are unique to us. Not a case of just picking some standard product off the shelf. <Tab> thanks. Well, chess24 will have the combined scoreboard, at least... ;) <Diademas: <Probably the wrong tournament to experiment with.>> But you would have said the same thing about any such tournament we chose at all, wouldn't you? ;) Don't worry, those standings can be edited. |
