I actually like this new layout... at least they're all in one place!

New Layout

The notes being moved is ___awful___, it is really two steps backwards for usability.

Before you could see the moves and the note at the same time. Now you can't. I use the notes to keep lines I'm looking at, and I need to be able to glance at the moves to see where I am in whatever options I've put in my notes. Now I have to click back and forth, back and forth. In addition to, just having to click to even see the moves.

In the future you should put out these sorts of changes in a reversible way. Almost every major site does that. You should version the changes and let people keep the old one as long as lots of people are using it. This will also give you important feedback; you can simply look at how many people clicked on "use old interface" to tell if your changes were good or bad.

And that green plus (when conditional moves are waiting to be played) hasn't always been there either

diagrams clickable?

Clickable diagrams, Yes.

Excellent! I just posted a diagram in the endgame club forum, and noticed the message "click to analyze" when
the curser was hovering over the board. I wondered if I had been playing here for years and missed it all this
time. I am happy to see that this is new and I have not been asleep.

Editable bookmarks

You can now edit what is bookmarked under the more options tab on the left of the screen.

That page has always been there already.

What really is new is the layout of the menu, some new fonts and icons. The "messages" tab now shows the amount of new messages in a green font, too.

I see

I tried a few months ago to add the forums to my more options tab, but the new layout makes it much easier to find. At least for me.

I miss the golden-yellow selection highlight in the main menu. Now it's a washed-out brownish-grey.

A much needed improvement for the team Captains...

A separate "Message to team captains:", that shows to the other Captain while they're setting up a challenge. Thumbs up!

Also, there's a strange blue [i] icon before the "You are the captain of the team:" -indicator as I access the "Teams" section, however it doesn't seem to be a link, or show any information as I hover my mouse over it. Does anybody know what is up with that?

Regards,
MaCa.

lightotheright gave me this great info, so to quote

for anyone else who didnt know GK is already up and running on IE9 (which I didnt even realize existed! So to anyone else sitting in the dark with me ... from my facebook thread. Which you might want to see for more info right from GK about how they handle browser and plugin updates etc. Pardon if this is already here about IE9 as I just am not much on keeping up with such things !?)
********************************************

"Update your browser. You're two generations behind the power curve. There is no telling what kinds of problems that might occur because of this.

IE9 is already out and running with a bang. It's much faster than previous versions. However, it won't run properly with Windows XP or any earlier operating system. Since you do have a 64 bit machine (else you couldn't use 64 bit IE7) IE8 should be a viable option if you don't have a something newer. These are free downloads.

You might also consider using a totally different browser. Firefox is still faster than Internet Explorer; but not always as reliable. If you have an outdated browser, updated plugins might not work properly. Also old browsers don't have the security necessary for today's online experience."

Fairly new rule

14. You may not invite, or otherwise actively encourage, any players to join your team if they are already a member of another team.

That's what I have been obeying for a while now, and I'm not surprised that they've implemented it as an official rule. However, I hope that the punishments won't be too severe for the Captain who accidentally break this rule.

I also hope that the site users are informed of the new rule.

MaCa.
