MB Chessplayers — Your Help Is Needed!
Some of you report that you haven’t been able to move your pieces since we upgraded the blog’s chess software around the end of July. We’d like to solve the problem but need more information.
- Can anybody move, or is it a universal outage?
- If you can’t move, have you tried clearing your browser’s cache (not just the browsing history, but the actual cache of Web pages that your browser stores to make them easier to load)?
- What sort of message do you see when you try to move? Does it say “closed board,” or does it tell you it’s waiting for your move and then fail to accept it?
(Of course, some of you probably have gotten tired of chess and stopped playing, but if anyone wants to keep playing, we’d like to make it possible.)
Here’s the status of the games so far:
