The new Rematch button is the most absurdly bad designed interface element I've ever seen in my life

The old rematch button was better, now I never know what is going on, do I have a rematch or not? Sometimes when I click on it the blincking stops and no rematch is going on. I am confused.
@HerbyW When you have a rematch, don't you see a new board?

Clicking the button offers a rematch.

If the button is blinking, the opponent has offered a rematch. Frankly, I don't know why match offers are shown one way and rematch offers are shown a different way.
In a normal OTB game I ask if you whant to play a rematch, then my opponent says yes or no. Now there is no way to say yes or no, just clicking on a button, which is no button, it is a field, and I do not know what I am doing then. Do I say yes or no?
why when a guy now want rematch I cant cancel it , I only can go out or analysing the game¿
To turn the question around: what was wrong with the old rematch button?
The old rematch offer buttons covered other buttons (i.e. analysis).
Seems like the decline button has been brought back. I still kinda silike the look of the button (probably the caps is the most annoying), but at least it functions properly again.
Yes . I like the possibility to decline. If you don't wanna play more it's good to communicate this to your opponent so he/she doesn't need to sit waiting. That's courtesy IMO.
