Feature request

First of all: Thanks to Richard for making this great site even better, with more games and a faster and more reliable site!

I have, however, one request: Today, it is only yourself and your opponent who are able to see the messages sent while you are playing. Others can see all the moves, but not the messages. I think this is the right way to do it. But sometimes, one might like you use a game for teaching, and then it would be nice to make the comments available for everyone to see.

What I request is this: Let there be a check-box next to the "message" field, saying "make message public" or "show message" or something. If this box is checked, then everyone viewing the game at that move should be able to read the message.

Does this sound like a nice feature to more people than me? :-)

It is indeed a great and reasonable request. In fact, there surely are other similar suggestions. Let us make a list here. And Richard, the best website master I have ever known, may kindly consider what are feasible to be adopted, and what are not. :)

out of curiosity, how many website masters (or mistresses) have you known? :)

Hi, Oniscoid, between 3 to 100. Just out of curiosity, why are you interested in such a question? :)

I'd like to have a "Switch colours"-Option and a "Continue next game from this position with player X and player Y"-Option. This would offer the opportunity to discuss and analyze games by trying out variations.

I don't know any webmaster personally. What I see is the job Richard does here on this site. If You like it become member or tell it at least. So what is the question of how many webmasters/-misstresses ... good for?

that is a good idea...

sometimes i say the stupidest things and i wish to edit myself or erase it...

if real life could be like that.

i will answer after Richard has implemented your requests :)

Oniscoid,

let me say it harshly: What I really don't like: Oh man, I'm so pretty and good, but don't touch me (kiss).
