This bug is back... it appears to have started a few hours ago.

For me, too, on both Mac/Safari and iOS.

Remember the trick you can do to still move in this situation:1. Use the link to "Analyze game on www.trmph.com", which does still work.2. Figure out your move on trmph, and note its position (e.g., a3).3. Two options for next step:     a. hover mouse over invisible board, watching the message at the bottom of the screen (at least on my browser), e.g., "...move=ac", until it says the right thing; or

    b. hover mouse over invisible board, and click on any spot, then in the URL box, change the "move=xx" part, replacing "xx" by what you really want your move to be.

4. Once the URL box says what you want it to, you can click the send move box.

On the other hand, if this doesn't work, I don't accept any responsibility.  Don't try this unless you are very confident what you are doing, and know how it is working.

Twixt too, Chrome or Firefox, Windows 7 or Linux Mint Debian.

Glad to hear everyone else is having problems.

I thought I had gone blind.

Art Duval, thx for your tirck.

But is h13 on trmph equivalent to hm on littlegolem ? Or what else ?

Forget my question.

It is indeed equivalent, I tested it and it is written just before the "send move" button :)

There's no fix for Dvonn, however. It isn't implemented on TRMPH.

I hope we can get time back for being unable to move and getting to vacation is not cool:)

#12 · Rolle

2 Mar 2015

yes, I have problem with my dvonn game too

#13 · michelwav

morphles, you can play as Art Duval explained us : that works rather well (at least with windows 8)  if we are careful.

I think 20 or 30 days vacations are reinstated too many times every year and some games become very slow and boring for this reason.

michelwav, we cannot play as Art explained for Dvonn. We have no way of playing our moves.

Rex Moore, I am sorry : I just see you already wrote that in your former message. Of course, during the breakdown, dvonn players should not lose by timeout and, after it, they should get back the lost days.

Does anyone know if these board display problems are being explored / fixed?

#18 · ypercube

What problem?

Tempted to setup a new Dvonn tournament. Anyone for Blindfold Dvonn?

#19 · Carroll

Yes should I put a bit of tape on my screen to mask the list of moves? Too easy otherwise!

#21 · Rex Moore

4 Mar 2015

And.... there goes my first vacation day. BOOM!

#23 · elroy

So this is a problem for Twixt also. Is there any sign of a solution moving forward? Has Richard made any comment?

#24 · Carroll

5 Mar 2015

A bitbucket bug report has been created but not yet assigned.

Usually Richard is in ski holidays at this time...

#25 · David J Bush

While he's patching this bug, I hope he can fix it so that it doesn't occur in the future.

#26 · Strange Yeah

8 Mar 2015

Has anyone heard anything from Richard? Does he know that there's a problem?

#27 · jazzy1

What is the complete url / REST call to submit a move?

#28 · The_Burglar

Would have to recommend alpha & beta display softwares

#29 · THE BIG HURT

how are people playing games and making moves when you can't see the board?

#30 · Jos Dekker

9 Mar 2015

Art Duval describes it at the start of this topic.

I've made quite some moves since then; it works. Thanks Art!

But, I hope this is not lasting much longer.

#31 · Jos Dekker

The get-around counts for Hex of course.

I don't know anything about the other games with the same problem.

#32 · David J Bush

9 Mar 2015

The trick does not work on Chrome for me, but it does with Firefox. BIG HURT, please message me if you have any difficulty.

Good to have the images back, but how do I get the lost vacation days back?

#37 · mtbikesman
