Opponent profile with 3D chess pieces

Sort:
kjaslow

Is there a reliable way to see my opponent's profile when I'm playing a game?  I've seen advice to click on their name, but I have selected one of the 3D chess pieces, and that seems to interfere with the ability to click on the opponent's name in the browser?  (I'm doing this on my Windows computer.)  Is there any other way to see their profile without necessarily having to search for them?  

At a minimum - feedback to Chess.com - the 3D chess pieces seem to be causing a UI problem with the ability to click the opponent's name during a game...

Maybe try to drag the link onto a new tab or right click

That's the problem...whenever you try to position the pointer over any part of the opponent's name, avatar, etc, the pointer changes to the hand as if you're going to move one of your opponent's pieces. Silly, but it prevents you from accessing the profile. There does seem to be a sliver or pixels above the 3d pieces in the opponent's back row and the top of the opponent's profile that can be selected, but it's very unreliable to try to click in that tiny space.

Best I've been able to find is to search all players, find your opponent and view the profile that way. It's cumbersome. Think the developers need to look at this one...

Not that I see too many folks paying close attention here. But just on the off chance that a developer is looking at this - I've narrowed this down to the situation where there is a piece on a8. At the start of the game, obviously that's the opponent's rook. But any piece on a8 shown with 3D blocks the ability to select the opponent's name and see their stats. Thx.
