GameKnot related: Board can't ne opened any more without logging in

eloq 04-Jun-13, 13:07	Board can't ne opened any more without logging in I get "Your turn to move" email with link to board, but I can't see that chess board anymore just by clicking the included link. Now it is required to log in. Before May 31st it wasn't required, also I could use analyze board without logging in. I'm using several computers + one mobile phone to come to this site and I can't have them all logged in all the time (need to clear cookies etc). It looks that if I log out on one computer, then I'm logged out also from others and can't see the board any more without logging in again (maybe need to stop using computers on which I need to clear cookies...). It was very nice to be able to view the chess board in seconds just by opening the link. I could open the board easily using even old mobile phone for viewing it and thinking possible moves. Is that original feature lost now on purpose or accidentally?

If so, then the only way would be to click players and search for yourself and then click on games in progress. Of course, you would only be able to view public games. If that wasn't what you meant, pleas clarify.
eloq 14-Jun-13, 02:26	used to have bookmarks to chess boards Thanks, yes, I mean that it was possible to view your (also anyone's) chess boards and even analyze without logging in. Of course sending moves wasn't possible. It has always () been possible to click the link which was received in "Your turn to move" emails and go to that chess board and then log in only if wanted to move. I used to have bookmarks to my chess boards (not playing too many matches at the same time, so not many bookmarks). ) I've been here almost from the beginning of the site but removed account ant stopped for a few years when this site stopped working with my mobile phone... So now needs to be logged in all the time. Problem was that I use some computers where I need to log out. But it seems to work if I choose "keep me logged in for one month" and then never actually log out, instead I just remove browser's history and cookies from that computer to be "logged out" when needed. Then I'm still logged in on my mobile (= most important) and can see my boards there easily. Of course I still have to log in again on those computers where history etc. was removed to view my chess boards but it helps a little if I don't need to log in daily with mobile phone...
