-can you stop the rematch window from stealing focus from the table it is active for so we can still make notes while the timer is counting down. Maybe make it always on top or something so we can still see it while typing in the table window.

Thanks

good post, agree with all of this

"hello..."

"PS guys?"

[phos77]

get the register pop-up window to remember where you position it.

at the moment it pops up over the list of entrants which is really annoying.

[chaosad]

push

come on stars, over 2 weeks are over and still no message from the new PS men? still the same *beep*

[Benjamin the Donk]

yeah i copied and posted Phos77's and my posts in the internet poker PS thread. Still no response here though

Looks like I'll have to open a full tilt account

Also why does the rematch villain window stay open when villain declines?
Imo it should auto-close if you can't rematch (the rematch window, not the tourney window that uses the 'auto'close...' checkbox)

[ibavly]

what we really need is a rematch window imbedded in the tourney window

[JSpazz]

here is a list of most software related problems i could remember

• when you close the rematch window or the stars client, it doesnt auto-decline rematch! <= biggest problem imo, fishes end up running down the timer vs me so often and they probably have no idea they're doing so
• I'm ready button (like on FTP)
• pause between 1st and 2nd hand of match
• pause between hands when levels change (out of all sites I played on, only stars has it )
• rematch window steals focus from the table
• 5-6 second wait after villain runs down the timer
• lobby lag; the tournament lobby always displays up to date information, but the stars client lobby always lags, sometimes even 5-6 sec

fix all of these and we're probably gonna squeeze out an extra 2-3 games per table hour

btw all those problems are costing both the players and pokerstars money, since everyone's games take a longer time to complete and pokerstars makes less rake

[Benjamin the Donk]

yes +1 to all that.

Post that in the software forum to, I haven't seen any comments from a PS rep in a while and I don't think they look here anymore.

let's quote this a million times, maybe someone from stars will notice

[Grusbus]

Nevermind me, I just agree with Jspazz/ohly.
