Gameknot
Is it me or did Gameknot slightly change the layout of their website? I've noticed some things that have been where I've always expected (like my friend's list on the homepage) have been moved or removed. Seems the changes are minor, but after over 7 years here, I've certainly noticed. Has this been the case for anyone else?

i haven't noticed any changes. Other then a few years ago you could put a different picture on both profile and user pic. Now they are both the same.

Ah I always forget to check that forum, thanks checkcharlie

Well I did just find something I don't like one bit with this update. I always took notes on my own profile to help me remember things I needed to do, like challenging a team to a match, ect. Now I can no longer do that it seems, though my last saved notes still show when I hover over my profile at least. Now I'll have to save those notes elsewhere I guess

Joe, you will find that the notes facility on your profile has returned.

I guess this feature remains broken.

I thought I was having eyesight problems till GK answered ... subtle changes are fine but I wish they'd give us a heads up ...I suppose that's another change 😉

I've never used them ... do you have an adblock turned on ?

I've been using chess tactics again for the last 10 months ... really helped me

checkcharlie, yeah I see, thanks. I'm gonna assume it was a mistake on Gameknot's part and they fixed it. I am certainly glad they did, I was using my co-captain's notes as a backup during that time lol

Considering Gameknot had an update, I'm not surprised they had some glitches perhaps, what sites wouldn't? Hopefully they are taken care of now.

Okay interesting, I just challenged a player with 204 active games through the Chess League. I was allowed to though, that's what I'm confused about.

I know players can go beyond their number of games limit, particularly through Tournaments, but I figured once at or beyond that limit, they can't be challenged by other players. I know the League is different, but I wouldn't think in this case I would be allowed to press the 'Play' button for that player until they were under 200 games. I guess not apparently.

Joe
If you challenged a player who had less than the 6 league games required and had a new GK round of a tournament start that would take someone over their membership limit ... if that makes sense !

I've never tried the league for some crazy reason they won't let me start in A1

I think I get it, I never knew that all this time, thanks Neil  

I'm kinda glad I don't start in A1, I wouldn't last long lol

Team Homepage Scoll Bars
Interesting Gameknot update, I see now that teams with a lot of info on their team homepages now have scroll bars. Is it to improve the space the team homepage in general takes up? And also does that mean that you can put in more info now? I am certainly curious on the ladder.
