The expanding slide out icon drawer is gone, those controls are all now at the bottom of the aside
The mobile layout has those options available at the bottom of the screen for easy access now instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom.
The chat is now an optional thing you can toggle on and off quickly on mobile, and entirely under settings if you choose on both mobile and desktop.
A little ticking clock is near the clock to more clearly indicate whose turn it is. (Does not tick for correspondence games unless you’re really low on time, but is still present). [Yes you can disable the ticking under options]
Board theme settings have been integrated under the “More options” under the quick settings icon:
Now instead of just a triangle to indicate which move we’re talking about, the stone is visible that we’re talking about and an indicator underneath represents what the engine thought of the move, and instead of green squares we switched to circles and now show the number of visits underneath the score/win rate delta.
Green blue ! is great, blue !! is the blue move, green + is good, yellow - is an inaccuracy, ? a mistake, and ?? a blunder.
If you’re interested in exploring the changes before they are released on the main site you can see them now on https://beta.online-go.com/ , and please do let me know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions before we release!
The new design is a complete mess for mobile (can’t see the board, the players with the remaining time and the submit move button at the same time). Hope they are still working on it.
Better UI is not worth making basic functionality difficult. At least give us a setting to toggle back. Have you considered how this can affect go streams? It was already complicated to find tools, report game to mods, etc. Now its even more complicated.
This is the Online Go Server - I would expect you guys to make things easier for navigation and enhance gameplay through changes, not make it harder and more buggier. I am seriously considering other alternatives to move to permanently
You can still do it from within the main settings, people were toggling it off by accident and wondering why they weren’t getting AI reviews when it was a prominent option.
It seems to have the opposite effect of what I would expect. When I have Enable AI Review set to on, I don’t get an AI graph, and when I have it set to off, I do.
But stepping back, IMO this is something that should be toggleable within each review. It’s useful to be able to think about a position without AI, then turn the AI on to check. Or to be able to see an AI suggestion, and then explore the suggestion without AI to see if you can figure out the idea. I get that there’s a UX challenge with people disabling AI without realizing it, but I think removing the ability to disable AI within a review or demo board isn’t the best solution.
Lacking a go back to first move button sucks since every other server has it.
Estimate score is inconvenient to get to, and after using it the score number being above the profile pictures is unintuitive - should be below the pictures somewhere like before
