ELO ratings are calculated in finished games from the historic ELO when the game was started. This has always been the case, nothing will change.

But to avoid player confusion, from today all live and finished games will display the ELO when the game was started not the current rating of each player.

Player account settings area has now been named as "Control Panel". This can only be accessed from the top of "My Games" page. "My Account" has been removed from the main menu.

Various improvements have been made. Most obvious are; holiday control panel has been moved to this area, change of email address now requires email confirmation, seperate avatar and picture upload sections and additional pre-defined avatars.
