How do I change board size? It's impossible to play any more.
great news, but can you make left panel smaller or with customizable width ? looks really wide
Full screen hamburger menu gone? And I still remember ornicar2 scolding people who criticized it when it was introduced. Good riddance for it though.

I also saw this: https://i.imgur.com/BRWOaMF.jpg

And whenever I reload page (and that has been happening before the update too, I thought it might be gone) for a split second I see all the content without any styles or something applied. Just text. Kind of annoying.

And on the lobby screen, some seeks are displayed outside the border, like I saw a small part of a rapid seek by someone rated 2500+ and it was almost all outside the lobby "window".
Well done guys! Many improvements, both visual and functional.

Let me just give you one advice: please keep some proportion between the large and the small fonts. Thus, if someone is bothered by very large fonts, they can zoom out without making the small fonts illegible -- or, if someone is bothered by very small font, they can zoom in without making the large fonts ridiculously large. The mix of small fonts and huge fonts is a frequent feature of contemporary paper typesetting, and it has a kind of wasteful elegance, however it can quickly become dysfunctional especially online. Also keep in mind that if you are in your twenties or even thirties, you are happy to look at very small fonts all day, but as one gets older looking at very small fonts becomes less fun.

To take an example from the screen I'm looking at as I type this (I'm at 80% on Firefox on an 21' iMac with 1920x1080, and my window occupies about 2/3 of the screen): the font in which I am writing this is the smallest size that is still usable, while the title of this text area (which in French is "Répondre à ce sujet") is huge, and the page title even more huge. If I switch to 100%, then the font of this text is fine but now the titles become so large that a lot of space is wasted.
