Works great, thanks for all your effort!

Second the motion!

The site only works sometimes with Google's Chrome browser. I can access
the Main Index and Recognized Variants, but not the What's New page, like
when the site is down normally.

Make sure you're at chessvariants.org and not chessvariants.com, which is
still pointing at the old site. I doubt your choice of browser should have
any effect on whether you can access the What's New? page.

I made sure.

I don't use Chrome, but I checked it out with Safari, which also uses
Web-Kit, and I had no problems.

Has something happened to the Alfaerie: Grand Shatranj image set? No
pictures this morning in this game - ditto some Grand/Great Shatranj games
I looked at.
**********************

I looked at the game when David mentioned it in a game comment, but saw
all the pieces fine, so I figured it was just a temporary glitch. I just
read his comment, went to our game, and find everything perfect, exactly
as it should be. 

David, what browser are you using?

Windows Explorer 7.0.6000.16764
(running on Vista)
the entire piece set shows only [red x] 
and a name, like: 'alfaerie/welephant.gif'

I dodged Vista, stuck with XP [pro] and use Firefox. Not that I know
anything but you might try to download a free browser like Firefox, and
see how that works. [One pita about the newest Firefox, its search window
bites - use google for anything other than web addresses. It only
recognizes a .com or .org-type input. Of course, that could well be my own
ineptitude.]

Although Firefox is the better browser, the choice of browser has nothing to do with it. I believe David Howe is moving the chessvariants.com domain to point to this site, but it hasn't fully propagated yet. The images that were not showing up for David Paulowich (and for me too) were on chessvariants.com rather than chessvariants.org.

I have changed chessvariants.com to point to the new site. The change may
take up to 48 hours to propogate.

Fergus, David, thank you.

Hmmm, the Y and y pieces in Alfaerie: Grand Shatranj seem to have changed.
The piece is a DW, and was pictured as a standard dababbah with a '+' on
its side. The + has disappeared from the pieces in the game and in the
piece set. Dumb question #1: will this spontaneously reverse itself?

Yes, the ShortRange Courier Chess preset was fine a few days ago. Now the (full alphabet) display gives the same image for 'D' and 'Y'. But 'E' still adds an x to the Elephant.

You should see what happened to the Large Nahbi Chess game I've got going
with Uri - 2&1/2 feet of error messages and a board with no pieces on it
at all. Maybe I'll wait a day or so before making any moves - the
Shortrange courier game changed while I was looking at it...

Happy New Year to all!

I probably uploaded an older version of alfshatranj when I fixed it
yesterday. I just retrieved the current version from a backup I downloaded
to Ubuntu Linux, changed the .com in the base directory to .org, and
uploaded it. Check how it looks now.

The Alfaerie: Grand Shatranj piece set looks fine. Thank you.

Just went to make the first move [as white] in a 47 contest game and got
this error message after I accepted the invite from John:

The logfile
../pbmlogs/wormhole%20xiang%20qi/ultimatecoolster-mjjoyce3-2009-4-285.php
does not exist.

Everything appeared fine with the new game until I hit the 'continue'
button to get the error message.

I got the same error when I pressed continue in Courier Chess Moderno.
