Yes, this is #1 problem for me as well!

Ok, seriously, no display name in phpBB? but I can edit my location and avatar, that's really awesome :roll: and I can't change my login either.
I wonder how this was done in the previous forum, some extension maybe?
I hope this will be sorted out. Plus some people mentioned search doesn't work on old posts, that's #2 problem for me.
#3 is probably no boards/games yet?
Early days, I get it, but mixed feelings. And the new design is absolutely horrible, is this the default? Tiny fonts plus only utilizing a fraction of the screen horizontally...
UX fail in general... lots of useless clutter, very messy :)

Thread view does not exist in the 3.x versions, but that was already told years ago.

Talkchess nowadays is a joke - it is full of trolls/idiots/people stuck in the pleistocene > 80% of the posts fall into this category...
