New Go Server, with Ladder Tournament - Looking for Feedback

[EdLee]

- (Done) Option to enlarge the board to full-screen (not the zoom-in feature in browser)

Hi Ravi, this is not Done at all. FunNode is currently not full-screen (on a 1440x900 display), not even close:

This is almost full-screen -- gIgo, on a 1440x900 display -- I want to hide the menu bar completely, too:

- (Considering) Option to toggle co-ordinates

This is a must.

Thanks, and good luck!

EdLee: We've added coordinates-toggling now. Simply click on the coordinates to hide/show them.

We have also added Go Forums! http://www.funnode.com/forums

- fixed a nagging memory leak -- will make the gameplay much faster and/or smoother
- added private matches -- useful for teaching

Hi Ravi --

I wish you all the best with your server. Tonight, I cannot connect with IE (10)... it just times out, but Google Chrome works just fine.

[Ravi]

Thank you very much Gohst for the well wishes

Please do try again now .. there was an odd bug that was fixed yesterday. It's working fine on IE11 atm. Please let me know if you have any other issues as well.

[Ravi]

We now offline messaging and friends' lists. Please feel free to suggest more features

We are also working on a Ladder Tournament - stay tuned.

[Ravi]

We now have a Ladder Tournament!

You can challenge offline players ranked higher than you - the offline players will receive email notifications when it's their move.

[Ravi]

We have increased the time-limits for matches - You can now play a match over several days using the "24 hours per move" time-limit. Enjoy!

Please note, only signed-in players can use this setting.

We've made some changes over the past few weeks: http://www.funnode.com/news#changelog

The UI has been improved a lot over the past month, especially for mobile devices - come check it out: https://www.funnode.com/games/go

I've just tried a 9x9 game against the GnuGo bot. It apparently gave me one handycap (i.e. white komi=0.5). The odd thing is that even at 1 handycap the first black stone is automatically placed at a "hoshi" position (3/3 point in upper right corner). I would rather have played tengen instead and expect automatic placement on hoshi points only for a handycap >=2.

Apart from that good luck with your further development and promotion of the server!

[Ravi]

Thanks schawipp.

BTW, we just added profile avatars to FunNode!

[Ravi]

New Go boards added..
