As of October 2020 the default settings in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all display the boards correctly.   However, if the defaults have been altered to strengthen security on your device to a higher than normal level then the games may only appear as text, as shown in the right hand image.

To put your browser settings back to normal to allow the boards to appear you can follow the instructions below.  These instructions have been verified for the current versions Chrome, Edge and Firefox under Windows 10 as of October 2020. The instructions regarding Safari have not been verified but have been taken from reliable sources on the internet, including the Apple website.

Chrome

From the menu in the top right-hand corner pick Settings and then:

• Pick Privacy and Security
• Pick Cookies and other site data
• In the right-hand pane the first thing you will see is General settings with four options
• Click on Block third-party cookies in Incognito

Edge

From the menu in the top right-hand corner pick Settings and then:

• From the left-hand pane pick Site permissions
• From the right-hand pane pick Cookies and site data
• Then in the right-hand pane the second line will be Block third party cookies.  Turn this off using the slider on the right.

Firefox

From the menu in the top right-hand corner pick Options and then:

• In the left-hand pane pick Privacy & Security
• In the right-hand pane under Enhanced Tracking Protection click either Standard (the default) or Strict

Note you can with the Custom setting uncheck Cookies and this should work but would give you weaker protection against tracking than either Standard or Strict.

Safari

From the main menu:

• Pick Safari
• Pick Preferences from the drop down menu
• Pick the Privacy icon on the menu that appears at the top
• Next to Cookies and Website Data there are 4 options.  Pick Allow from websites I visit
