What do you want changed in lichess.org ?

When I challenge a player I can't do anything but staring at a message box, waiting for him to finish his other game and accept the challenge. I can't even watch him playing while I wait for his game to finish, and I can't even know if he is going to accept.
It should work this way:
- I challenge a player
- He can pre-accept or refuse instantly, while we both can keep on doing whatever we are doing,
- The moment one is ready to play, the other receives a message and can join the mach. If he is playing another game he can tell the other to wait until he is done.
Those who care to vote down with a certain proposal should also explain why.
I have some question about the request here above: did you ever use the 'challenge' function with the app? Do you find it usable? How do you spend your time while waiting for your opponent to come back and accept the challenge, given that he will?
I feel like this has been said thousands of time but live Swiss tournaments and correspondence round-robin tournaments would be great.

Also it would be great if under simuls one could see how many hours/minutes it is left to start.
One more vote for Round Robin and Swiss Tournaments
It's just sad to play the same person over and over again in an inner team match
1. First I'd like to see better support for other Web Browsers. Non Chromium web browsers like Firefox or Waterfox has lag and stuttering in certain games, particularly bullet games since Lichess version 2.0. When viewing history of games, piece animations stutter like there is a drop in frame rate. It's as if the frame rate dropped from 60fps to 10fps, that's how bad it is. There are also reconnecting issues in red warning occasionally which is exclusive to Firefox web browsers. On Chromium this never happens.

2. I'd like to see tournament victories recorded in player stats! I know I haven't won a chess tournament yet, but having viewed some of other players stats where players have won tourneys, they don't get trophies or medals next to their profiles. Only top 100 ranked players get trophies. This doesn't actually make sense. When we view someone's profile and we see that they have zero trophies, yet looking at their tournament points history we can see that they've won.

3. I've mentioned it before in one of my other threads several months ago lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/please-allow-us-to-further-zoom-so-that-we-can-hide-lichess-scoreboard-like-we-did-with-version-1?page=1

Since version 2.0 the zooming to 100% does not hide the scores at the bottom of the chess board. I'd like to be able to hide away the score record at the bottom as it is less aesthetically pleasing and can be distracting at times.

4. I'd like to see social media accounts linked like Facebook so we can find out other Facebook friends who also play here on lichess, just like with chess.com.

5. Two-factor authentication does not give us an option for email or mobile number. It requires a Google Authenticator Application which again is somewhat restricting because you are obliged to install the app on via mobile phones when many of us want to avoid that hassle and simply use proper email or phone number instead.

4. Might already be possible - edit profile - at the bottom - Social media links?
2. I'd rather vote for an option to sort the user's tournament points by rank, and then date. To show all victories will clutter the profile, as some players may win numerous hourly tournaments or self created tournaments, and the info is available in their tournament points page.
EDIT: I see how your request can work: A victories page, next to the tournament points page, that only shows victories - I vote for that
I would like to suggest Bronstein time mode also called "delay". As not a lot of site are offering this time mode, this would also be something unique for lichess.

For explanation if somebody does not know this time mode: u have a base time for example 4min and get some additional per move like 3s. The difference to bonus time is that this additional 3s is not added to base time so you can't build up time like possible in bonus time but still have enough time to have every move done.
Casual rest day. Give Lichess staff a break, every seven days.
No feature requests on Sundays. Lichess feedback forum is off line on Sundays.

@xK4LIBUR This is slightly different from Chess.com. Social media links only gives you the option to add the link of your social media profiles to Lichess, but it is not the same like in Chess.com.

In Chess.com it is like that

You can login to the Chess.com Facebook app and it scans for all the Facebook friends list that also play on chess.com and lists their profiles. Lichess doesn't give you that option. No one from my Facebook friend list knows that I am GoLdEnFLAME unless I manually inform them that this is my username here on lichess.

For tournaments I mean, you can have a system with trophies that are marked by their numbers. Something that gave me the idea from EAs FIFA online stats where winning Division 1, 2, 3 etc gave you total number of trophies one for the division title in the stats profile.

Now here you can have let's say you won 5 tournaments, instead of having 5 separate trophies listed which may clutter the profile, we can have number 5 listed inside that single trophy icon.

Currently trophies only show for top 100 like these at the top right side of the profile. lichess1.org/assets/images/trophy/Big-Gold-Cup.png and lichess1.org/assets/images/trophy/Big-Silver-Cup.png
But my idea was for them to also show on the profile page for tournament victories as well, it will stand out more instead of manually searching for the players results through the Tournament Points list.
