If you do then you should see them unless you are not concerned about how well it works. I gave Chessbase a list of 9 problems I saw the first 30 minutes I used the GUI. They have fixed none of them that I know of. Some of the problems go back to Fritz 5.32 GUI that they did not fix. Since I was forced to use the new GUI the last 2 days to see if Junior 7 GUI was causing me problems I have noticed a couple of more bugs. I have given up on Chessbase fixing anything. They simply seem uninterested in auto232/database/GUI functions that don't work properly. It appears they are mostly interested in making the Chess Server side work though. The latest bug I have noticed is the GUI now claims victory on time when running auto232 games. This is a mistake since there is no program like used on the Servers to account for delay. So if Shredder Classic runs out of time when playing Fritz 7 according to the Fritz 7 clock (not the Shredder Clock) the game ends and Fritz 7 claims a win. Everyone knows that time is lost in auto232 matches so without some program to account for time lag you cannot use your own clock to claim a time loss by your opponent. Previous versions of Chessbase GUIs did not do it and the new ones should not do it either. Maybe I'm just a nitpicker! Jim
