I've noticed in my games where I can't make a move, I don't have the option to choose the next game by hand (in the drop down menu). I only have the one menu that says next game, main page, etc.
Great look for BK2.0. I am glad the webtv bug is taken care of. I was skeptical about that. Lots of stat info on the games as you play them and it is nice to have the rating tables back on the main page. I am very pleased with the effort.
rabbitoid: When you check "remember be" checkbox, your user name should be pre-filled next time you want to log in. Unlike password which must be typed manually.
It will be improved later.
login or login password is no longer remembered, even if you check the "remeber me on this computer" box.
is this intentional? I think I recall that Fencer said it would be different in 2.0
Normally if I click a pawn it moves automatically if it only has one available move, so in dark chess to check for possible en passants it wasn't necessary to try the second stage of the move, I only needed to see that the pawn didn't automatically move. Dark chess players should be aware that this is no longer the case (my opponent has just played c6 when I falsely deduced that he must have played c5 on the previous move). We can also select a pawn even if it has no legal move!

4 known bugs so far:
1) Red counters at the menu column.
2) Total number of online users on "who is online" page.
3) Numbers of new posts next to favourite boards links [right column] are not updated when vieving the particular board.
4) BK 2.0 refuses to send e-mails under some circumstances.
Thanks :-)
It's funny that "who is online" page never shows more than "50" although the current number is much higher. It's probably some other counter bug :-)
