Hello all,
I joined CG as an administrator, editor & front-end developer. I will start helping CG with administrative/editor tasks such as making sure tournaments and their bio's are complete and up-to-date, reading forums to help list and prioritize tasks at hand.

<*****************>
<*<*<<Bugs:>>*>*>

1. Has the problem with the duplicates caused by the Nbd2 bug been rectified?
petemcd85 chessforum (kibitz #367)

2. Find Deletions script
(seems to be a bug thats not adding all deletions are added to deletion page)

3. Empty Vote on Collections
stevemcd87 chessforum

4. Random game feature sometimes comes up with a non-existing game.
* Find out which game feature he's talking about. GTM?
chessgames.com chessforum

5. Plaintext passwords - Update the way CG stores user's passwords, perhaps add a Forgot Password link.

6. Missing "notable games" and "notable tournaments" from player - <Jess> stevemcd87 chessforum We are setting up the old servers to use as a testing platform. It will help to debug this issue.

7. Opening Explorer keeps reverting to white pieces when analyzing black pieces

8. I found a problem with the search function.
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #40034)

9. filter to show classical games only on players page.

10. waddayaplay: Dear chessgames.com
On some positions in the opening explorer, it doesn't work to flip the board at all Opening Explorer
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #40362)

<*****************>
<*<*<<Enhancements:>>*>*>

1. arrange kibitzer cafe per year

2. Games that are not uploaded due to 'games being to short' should be added.

3. Automate Olga Viewer to PGN4WEB for 'null move games', 960 games(done)
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #39652)

4. Can a button be added to the Olga toolbar to get a link to a position in the game, etc.
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #39870)

5. From the Database Statistics page, this is a bit ugly:Years covered: 0 to 2023 (2024 years)
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #39938)

6. Could <CG> please add a <Source Icon> to games in its gamelist?
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #39871)

7. Apply "Jump to page #" in the players individual libraries.
chessgames.com chessforum

8. To see puns that Chessgames.com has used in the past, see our Game of the Day Archive. The link just takes you to the homepage, which only goes back a year. It'd be really nice to have a link to <Phony Benoni's> Game Collection on a couple prominent spots, including the homepage and the pun submission page.
chessgames.com chessforum

9. the GOD collection has not been updated since September 12th. Again, why can't this be put on auto-pilot?
chessgames.com chessforum

10. We need to update the Opening Explorer to recognize newly uploaded games

11. creation of templates to automatically generate cross tables for tournaments (whether SRR, DRR or Swiss) and results/progressive scores for matches
chessgames.com chessforum

12. adding a position evaluation bar along the side of the chess bar. Example of evaluation bar.
https://www.youtube.com/live/q3klfY...

13. Please, allow an option have an ignore-list for collections too.
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #40218)

14. When viewing one's <Profile> for follow-up posts <CG> uses a star to mark threads where someone has posted after your last post, no matter who.
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #40266)

15. stone free or die: Can we please at least add the FIDE card for new players from the get-go - if available of course:
https://www.chessgames.com/perl/kil...

16. stone free or die: The entire submission process should be revamped, and I think made more transparent to review.
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #40277)

17. stone free or die: So, while I accept not being able to vote on a collection - I can't even see what collection was nominated, nor what the vote count is.
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #40291)

18. I want to create links, probably housed in my profile, but regardless. I want to create a link to a specific move in the Opening Explorer. I want to be able to attach a name of my choosing to said link.
chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #40330)

<*****************>
<*<*<<LIVE GAMES>>*>*>

1. Would like to add two columns to the games table:
a) Is game available in GTM
b) What type of game it is. Rapid, Blitz or Classical
chessgames.com chessforum

<Live Games Enhancements:>
1. Number of comments not updating.

  MissScarlett: Yes, it's definitely the dots at issue: <...>. Never used to be a problem.

  Stonehenge: I think there was a slash that was the problem. The other day I couldn't update a tournament or player page because I had used apostrophes.
Mar-27-23  stone free or die: I don't like the "..." notation anyways, especially if other information is available, e.g. "80 moves", or quoting the original sources phraseology.

I suppose the " ... " could be added as a suffix, but really a PGN tag would be more standardized and easier to parse.

Mar-31-23  Rdb: <fredthebear> wants me to show him this post that he ppsted in <messiah> forum , so I am obliging him

<Feb-18-23
Premium Chessgames Member fredthebear: <While I agree that <fredthebear>'s political annotations have no place in the game discussion areas, especially since their content is dangerously right wing and lunatic> First of all, I am a Libertarian who likes FREEDOM from regulations. Let people decide for themselves. It's the Democrat Marxist-Socialists who have deliberately painted me to be a right winger. (Most are FAR, FAR Left, so I'm right of them as any normal person would be.) That lunatic Rdb thinks I'm in charge of the right wingers>

Read the last line in this part of the post of <fred>

And today, <fred> called me vulture in the rogoff forum.

<fred> needs help - some serious help.

  MissScarlett: Another improvement I'd like to see involves the engine analysis function. If one sets the engine on a long think, it's easy to become distracted and forget the details of that particular analysis request (or even that there was one) - an available log of such requests would do the trick.
Apr-06-23  Rdb: Honesty is very important.

So , once upon a time <fredthebear> was laughing and dancing as <jessicafischerqueen> was expressing disgust and outrage <<rbd> is $#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$@@@@@>

(At that time , my name was <rbd> )

This conversation was happening in the forum of <keypusher>

<kp> said <<fredthebear> and <jfq> , listen , <rbd> always meant well . However , he lacked self control. He was stupid, immature. He understood teachings of jesus very well however he could not live those teachings . He could not apply those teachings in his life>

Now honesty is very important - I repeat, honesty is very important. So I asked myself <is what <kp> saying true > . Honest answer was 'yes'.

So , then I started applying teachings of jesus very earnestly and inculcated self control , maturity and so on.

Do you hear that <fredthebear>?

Have some honesty . Listen when <keypusher> tells you <<fred> you making fool of yourself . Either show proof that election was stolen from trump or stop talking nonsense >

2) secondly , stop behaving like 10 year olds.

If you are told with proofs <<fred> , you are dishonest > , you go into <10 year old > mode.

<you are dishonest>

<no , you are dishonest. And your mother is fat >

<no , your mother is fat. And she is loud too >

That is how some 10 year olds talk , <fred>. Stop talking like 10 year olds.

Apr-06-23  Rdb: You hurled such vile abuses in rogoff forum yesterday , <fredthebear>. Now , if you do not have double standards , then you should post on your bio/profile all those abuses that you hurled and demand that admins should ban you. Earlier , you had posted on your bio/profile abuses hurled by others and demanded that they be banned , after all.

  fredthebear: I think you'd better take a hard look at your own posts Rdb. You've got some loose screws, sock puppet.
Apr-06-23  Rdb: <fredthebear: I think you'd better take a hard look at your own posts Rdb. You've got some loose screws, sock puppet>

Let us do that.

Let us you and I focus on ourselves. You tell me where I am wrong and I fix that and I tell you where you are wrong and you fix yourself .

What did you say ? You saying that you want others to behave while you do not want to behave ? Is that what you saying ?

I repeat :

Honesty is very important.

So , once upon a time <fredthebear> was laughing and dancing as <jessicafischerqueen> was expressing disgust and outrage <<rbd> is $#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$@@@@@>

Apr-06-23  Rdb: Here is a deal for you <fredthebear> - get anyone as judge , any of your 'friends ' : <ohiochessfan> , <messiah> , <diceman> ....anyone.

You tell them where I am dishonest and I will fix that . And I tell them where you are dishonest and you fix that

and let them be judge.

What did you say ? You saying that you love it when you and your buddies are dishonest and hurl abuses , you just want others to be honest and not hurl abuses ?

I thought so .

Apr-17-23  Rdb: < Messiah: <Chesschronicle22> and <Teyss> I am very sorry for not responding, on Thursday I got b& for an off-topic kibitz. For one.

Offtopic.

Kibitz.

I regret so bad that I sent money to... to... THESE.

@#$% CG and @#$% its corrupt mods. This site is a cess pit.>

<messiah> , you are a good person. So let me try to cheer you up.

Look the difference you have made , your contribution.

For last few days , posts of <perfidious> so civil , so perfect .

I am sure admins listened to you and banned <perfidious> so that he had to change himself.

Now , the way you railed against <perfidious> for such an extended period , if you could rail against <diceman> in the same manner , rogoffland would be indebted to you , if you could cause that change

Cheers

And regards.

  fredthebear: What's a violation?? What have you deleted lately, say in the last month??
Apr-23-23

  fredthebear: That's pretty much what I figured.

Regulars know the truth, the double standard.

  fredthebear: I try, I really try to take you at word, Pete. <I check for violations everyday.> Did you have the weekend off again, or the volume muted??

I've been ah toot-toot-tootin' the Whistle that you're always referring to as a response to those who express their concerns about the obvious Double Standard on Chessgames. The Whistle seems to be working on my end, but not on yours. Can you hear the Whistle blowin'?? Should we blow harder?? When was the last time you had your hearing checked? Something isn't right.

  Stonehenge: When do scripts that have been disabled start working again?

For example the automatic FIDE rating update.

One example:

Ernur Amangeldy

According to CG: <Last FIDE rating: 1587>

Actual rating: 2049

Same goes for number of games in database. You guys do not seriously expect me to update tens of thousands of players manually?

May-02-23  stone free or die: <<pete> What have you blown the whistle about that has not been deleted?>

I hope such deletions aren't automatic, but undergo some measure of reasonable review.

The phraseology of the answer gives me a slight concern on the matter.

May-02-23
Premium Chessgames Member
  petemcd85: <Stonehenge: When do scripts that have been disabled start working again?>
No scripts have been disabled. We'll have to look into this and see why it's not working. We'll look into the script to see what's going on and get back to you. Thanks for letting us know.

<stone free or die: I hope such deletions aren't automatic, but undergo some measure of reasonable review.> I review then delete posts if necessary

  chancho: The Chessgames Store link is not working properly.

It leads to this:

<Hosting Server Connect Timeout HTTP 502 — Unable to Connect to the Origin Server>

The Chessgames Store

May-02-23  Rdb: So , <fredthebear> - did you notice the kind of insults you hurled at me and thus violated guidelines and in return how calm I was and I did not hurl insults at you in return.

Hell, I did not even blow whistle.

I hope you watching and learning , <fred>

Regards.

P.s. <fred> , you should post in your bio/profile the insults that you hurled at me and demand that you should be banned

And in addition you should pester <Susan freeman> and admins everyday for disciplining/banning you
