Being able to choose the nice functional old user interface would be very nice indeed. Especially as Dots and Boxes is very hard to see with the misdrawn very fat and very thin lines, and Shogi has all the captured pieces in the same upper left part of the board so you can't see who owns what nor select them.
I really appreciate that Richards puts time and effort into trying to improve this site, but I, too, definitely preferred the old design. I understand that most of the bugs are due to the design still being sorta "beta", and will be fixed, but still. LG is my home on the net, and it feels like someone just redecorated and repainted my home in a rather strange fashion...
It seems like FatPhil somehow managed to "hijack" the thread, so that from now, only his posts are showing (after his last post). Probably not deliberately, though. Anyhow, that is definitely a bug that needs fixing.
