There is “loading…” messages over all boards thumbnails when “use old canvas goban render is enabled”. I mentioned this issue many times before.
Here is the preferences page
@GreenAsJade is the issue caused by the implementation of Toggle to enable/disable stone shadows ?

I don’t experience these. Perhaps it’s your internet connection.
Could you make a screenshot of this page https://online-go.com/settings/theme while “use old canvas goban render is enabled” is unchecked?
Please post a screenshot.
I have “Loading…“ in old renderer too, since shadow update

Maybe the shadow update made the system more laggy. I don’t experience this though. As I said, it’s probably just bad internet.
I will try now
Edit: Oh yeah, it says loading. Doesn’t bother me too much, however, since if you turn the settings off, everything works fine.
square_defender:
you didn’t turn it on
It was my mistake. I ask to turn it off
@NightSnare please turn it on.
I did, and yeah, good discovery
I can ensure that this is correct.
These glitches are mutually independent.

t’s great that you worked out how to reproduce this!
We’ve been aware of this happening occasionally, but so far have not been able to reproduce.
No-one thought of turning on the old renderer!
Just a note: the old shadow is an option in the new rendered now (I think, right?) … so hopefully you aren’t forced to use the old renderer.
I hate new renderer. I hate this ugly big circle mark of last move.
I like this pleasant old one
And new renderer has its own issues
Isn’t that the default option now?
Or is it the low?
Surely you can find one of those that works?
jlt:
Triangles are barely visible. Hard for people with poor eyesight like me.
Ah hah. I wonder if there’s a better option already?
I agree that this version looks like it could do with tweaking. I’m not sure if that alone would force me personally on to the old renderer though…

I don’t know about earlier, but at least what you were quoting two posts before this post
was complaining about the big circle mark of last move , not the shadows.

Hah LOL, my mistake you are correct (geez I’m bad at reading! ( * , ** ) ) … but that also has some remedy:
I use 0.9 or 0.85, which doesn’t affect the font too much, but does give the circle a more balanced feel.
( * ) I was wondering how I got that wrong … I realise now, in my defence, that it started with:
… my bad reading of Mikhails post came from expectation bias that we were on that topic
I was concerned that shadows were still forcing people onto the old renderer.

We are talking about different circles. I mean this one
It is an issue of log readability. There is no issue with old renderer there. Please read recent post in that thread.
This works.
