What is the sense of an „International“ forum if the forum is not accessible for the international public ?!


We should better shut down the shit and open it somewhere where No IP adresses are blocked.

As it seems USA is not a senseful host anymore.

Try to use an US proxy server:

I used 51.81.186.206 port 8080 to write this message. You can setup a proxy in your OS network settings or browser settings.

That was a list of http-proxies in the US. If you use one of those in your browser settings, all your web-traffic will be routed through that proxy.

How to Set Up a Proxy in Chrome:

Firefox Proxy Settings: Step-by-Step Tutorial:

You should enable that proxy for visiting Talkchess only, and after visit disable again. Talkchess.com is not https encrypted, so there is no further security concern by using a proxy. There are several add-ons for several browsers to manage proxies in an more comfortable manner, I am not into these.

Not for me!

Previously, unread posts were marked red, reads are black.

If I now read red marked posts and then go back to read a new thread, I am logged out.
After logging in again, the already read thread is marked red again.

So one comes confused what read Threads concerns.

What annoys me mostly as for latest few days, if not checking "remember me" at logging in, when I have written my text and submit, I' am always logged out and asked for new log in, doing so, the already written text is gone and I have to start typing all over again.

Only workaround for me so far: checking "remember me" and yet also copying the text before "submit" or "preview", then at least the text is to be recovered easily by pasting after newly demand to log in
:twisted:

Same here but I think they (chessusa.com) are working on a solution that resolves the problem of blocked members.
