Analysis Board Bug?

I was analyzing one of my games I played the other day, when I realized that the 'best move', like a piece pointing somewhere with a faded arrow. When I analyzed it on the lichess analysis board, it suddenly was gone. Anybody know why it is this way?

Depending who is viewing/created the arrows in each position then they can be visible or not. The arrows are confusing when they appear or not but if you are describing what I think then it is intentional.

@Lidraughtsorg hm.... I was just wondering why the arrows in the analysis board disappeared. For example, on the analysis board, If you play e4, there will be a grayish arrow that shows e6. This does not show for me, for some reason.

You may just have engine anaylsis turned off or have it not showing enough lines. A screenshot would help us debug better

Another bug: When you watch broadcasts, the number of arrows on the board may not be consistent with your settings.
For example, I was watching the MC Invitational and suddenly there were 3-4 arrows while I've set my settings to show only 1 (the bluish one).

I don't think either of these are bugs. The first one, you just click to turn the engine on and off at the top right of the panel that tells you what moves are played. For the broadcast 'bug': your personal options determine what you're asking your computer to actually compute (locally - i.e. how many cores you want to use, how many simultaneous lines you wish to calculate), whereas the broadcasts I imagine the computation is done on their end? (Although I've never watched a broadcast here, so I can't be sure of that)

@Rapid167 Thanks. I just realized in the Analysis Board settings I somehow turned off the best move arrow. Now that I have it, everything is fixed, and I also found a few new cool settings.

@FreeWin4U I actually hadn't seen the broadcast feature before your post, so thank you for inadvertently advertising it :D!
