Reply | 1 Jul 2010, 13:42:52   Bad Tidings @ 'ChessCube'! No sooner did I post here, the other day, about how wonderful {in so many words}, 'chesscube'{dot}com was; Than the owners of that site, have since arbitrarily re-sized All {I assume}, the onscreen chessboards of all the non-members of their web site; So that the board and pieces, are Bigger than my {pc} screen can view!? - I carefully experimented/read, how I can rectify that; And {once again}, in so many words; Unless one 'ponies up' their own money {ie. credit-card, etc}, for a Chesscube membership; There Is No way of making their onscreen board, smaller! -- Ps. Sort of reminds me of how "Satan" works; In matters, that 'Really Count' for something!! |

I discovered several minutes ago, as I'm about to post this; That 'Chesscube'{dot}com, is also too cheap, and obviously uncaring; That their Web page for signing up as a member..{where you're naturally expected to type-in your sensitive credit card info}; Has an accompanying 'security warning' {not sure whose?}; That reads: "This is a partially encrypted page; Where any information you enter, can be easily read by a third party." Since that warning, appeared on Two different Web browsers that my 'pc' has {Windows & Firefox}; I can only assume, that the owners of that site, {a South African 'investment' firm}; Don't give a 'HOOT' about the inevitable likelihood, that merely by becoming a 'chesscube' member..{including 'premium'}; That one might as well be giving out their {neatly typed-out}, private financial info. to every other stranger on the street!? Ps. So much for my willingness to 'go-the-extra-mile,' In order to re-size my onscreen chessboard {& pieces}, Because I'd previously thought, their 'site' was "So Cool." -- |
