Problems with this website are abounding. The 'View' link in comments now leads to a page that is messed up thoroughly. There always is a spurious header bar under the message. If I do "Show page source", a lot of the HTMLelements are displayed in red, which I think means (in FireFox) opening and closing elements are not properly matched. If I try 'View' on a comment that includes an interactive diagram, the Page Source shows that the diagram is on there TWICE, with as a result that it does not work properly.
Many of the old comments have messed-up formatting, displaying HTML tags rather than obeing them. E.g.in the Grant Acedrex comments.
User submissions seem to have moved. If I now upload files for my Interactive Diagrams article (e.g. to add new piece images, or update the JavaScript that powers the diagram), it ends up in a directory .../membergraphics/MSinteractive-diagrams, while all the old files are in ../membergraphics/MSinteractivedia. So I cannot update the old files to which the article refers anymore.
In Chrome diagrams generated by the Design Wizard refuse to display, but the diagrams in my own articles on Chess and Shogi variants (e.g. Chu Shogi) work fine. The difference seems to be that the latter refer to a JavaScript file that is still on my own website, while the HTML produced by the Wizard links to an identical JavaScript on the chessvariants.com website, which I uploaded with the Interactive Diagrams article. The problem seems to be the extension of this file: to upload it I had to rename it from betza.js to betza.gif, as the upload script would not allow me to use .js extension. This works fine in FireFox (as it should, because the <script> tag explicitly mentions the type is JavaScript), but apparently is offensive to FireFox. I would like to have a way to upload (and then later update) .js files with my submissions. I see no harm in allowing the upload script always to overwrite an existing file, irrespective of its name, so that at least updates are always possible.
