Stars, when I play I take tons of notes. Its very annoying that when action at a new table is required that it switches you over to the new table's text box. It makes taking notes very difficult when multitabling.

Quick Q, searching is impossible for it due to the keywords >_<

Have FPP's been changed to be awarded upon leaving the table now? I sometimes use FPP's as a measure of my play and find this change quite unnerving at times.

There's been a LOT of lag lately, IMHO, of VPP and FPP's being posted. I've even left the table, left Stars and came back 20 mins later and still no update... then it will pop in the change after another 10 or 15 hands. Happens 3 or 4 times a day.

And Stars, could we please have a button for "Sit out next hand, all tables." don't want to leave the table, just when the doorbell, phone, ex-wife, all the nuisance things happen, we have a way to instantly sit out of all our multi tables at once.

You can do this in session controls.

Still waiting for an option to hide my bankroll when registering to sngs.

Idk I just don't like knowing my bankroll until I'm done with a session.

[Maso777]

An option to disable password recovery without first faxing in ID.

Cash game players can see who is sitting at the table, by just clicking on it, while playing Sit and Go tournaments I have to open the lobby to do it. Table selecting becomes a real torture at higher stackes.
P.S sorry if that was discussed earlier.

i am currently playing 16 cash tables at a time, and would like to be able to set a setting where I can cap the number of cash games I have running. so just exactly like there is for 24 tables, please make a cap that the user can set it.

Hello 2+2,

First of all, I would like to wish you all a very successful 2011! We are having another planned client update over the next days. Here is the list of the new features which we are adding:

Home Games

We are all very excited to launch Home Games! Home Games is a brand new product, unlike anything else in online poker – it is designed to let you create and manage your own private poker club, where you play the ring games and tournaments you choose, with just your friends, at the time you want. All you need to do is open your own club or join a club created by one of your poker buddies and you are set to schedule and play your very own online Home Game right through the PokerStars client!

The feature is currently in a short beta stage and will be rolled out very soon to .COM clients with plenty of advertising and web content and training materials to explain to you how exactly it works.

Customizable VIP Club Progress Bar

Yes, as requested now we will offer you the ability to customize the VIP Stellar Rewards progress bar to different goals. We are re-branding this as a VIP Club Progress Bar and now you can choose between Stellar Rewards and Milestones, VIP level, or a monthly or yearly VPPs target. To access the customization menu, go to “Options” > “Customize VIP Club Progress Bar”.

Automatic Seating when you Accept a Seat from Waiting List

When you accept a seat from a waiting list you will now be automatically seated and will immediately see the buy in dialog. As a result, you would not have to click on a reserved seat anymore. If you have “Auto-Buy-In (Ring Games)” enabled in the Options menu, you will be instantly bought in as well, without needing to make any more clicks. We appreciate that some players might not like this, so we have added an option to keep the old behavior. If you want to still click on a specific reserved seat manually, please uncheck “Options” > “Advanced Multi-table Options” > “Auto-Seat Me after accepting reserved seat”.

Other Updates

• “Single-click table activation” will be turned on by default from now on. This setting is controlled from “Options” > “Advanced Multi-Table Options...”.
• Lobby scrolling of the list of games should be improved for players who are using a mouse which sends partial scroll updates.
• The “Advanced Multi-Table Options” menu has been slightly changed to improve its usability.
• Various small bug fixes – lobby image settings not being applied correctly, redrawing of tables after resizing by external programs (Windows 7 or third party scripts) and others.

Note: As usual, the above changes would only take effect once your gaming client has been updated, which could happen at different times for different players. We expect all clients to be updated by end of this week.
