No idea which site has the prettiest graphics and it's personal anyway. I like the tropical island setting for example, but that doesn't make the site that has that the best.

Make a list of all our wishes itt. Sure hope somebody at PS does that, it should be worth gold to them. The site that has implemented most of these wishes has the best software. That is not a matter of software development, but just good marketing. I know a few sites that granted all the wishes that were mentioned the last few pages. On popular demand.

Please add the new 8/16c limit to the filters so it can be displayed individually in the lobby. thanks!

I'm sure this has been said before but is there any chance of having individual tables themes and positions saved/remembered.

e.g. If I open 4 cash tables and 2 tournament tables open, I can have a blue table theme for cash and red for tournament?

Or if I have 6 cash tables open I could have the first 2 opened saved with the blue theme next two that are opened the green theme and last 2 the red theme..etc

Wasted 4 years on that site playing thousands of tourneys.
FTP was 10 times better and another site I played before was even 100 times better. It is a total mystery why they don't improve a few very simple things that would benefit them greatly. I say that, but I really believe it is because better software would benefit better players (link). Stars doesn't want better software untill competition forces them to improve.

The site that is 100 times better than PS -software wise- used to be as bad, but they slowly improved based on our suggestions. When I joined Stars I assumed it was only a matter of time untill they would have the same improvements and I am very disappointed with them they never improve anything.

Even the mob site I play on has better software than PS and they are just laundering money.

Color Rings - more than the original 8 later added by request
Detachable Notes with merge option
Deal checkbox (beta?)
Separate the "N" from the color ring
Faster dealing
Highlight active player / Blinking active player option
Chat bubbles
Full face cards
Hide hole cards
Larger opponent cards
Hotkeys
Show one card
Preflop / postflop bet size buttons
Auto-buyin
Table / Session Controls
Sit out next bb = close table
Find me a seat
Easy Seat
VPP progress bar

These are all fairly recent imo. Sure there's a ways to go but saying they never improve the software is complete nonsense.

1 click colour code, double click open notes tab please!

[rugmuncher]

Why is it £2-3 cheaper to buy pokerstars playing cards off ebay than from the pokerstars store?

Sort it out please.

Yeah, the single click brings the drop down colour code menu but when that option is selected the double click player to open notes tab on the doesn't seem to work. Could just be me though!

Hello 2+2,

We will have a client release over the next few days. A lot of our recent effort has gone in to work on the clients for our upcoming new licenses. However, there are still several features we think will be interesting to the players here.

Final Table Themes
We have created final table versions for all of our themes. We wanted to give the feel of this being a final table without over-powering or completely changing the look of your chosen theme. The final table background adds spotlight effects to the background and to the table itself.

In addition to giving you the feeling of achieving something special, these will let you know which tables require that little bit of extra attention.



We will be slowly rolling out final table themes over the upcoming weeks. Eventually, all tournaments will have them and all larger Sit & Go’s. If you don’t like the final table themes, they can be turned off under ‘Options’ > ‘Table Display Options’ > ‘Show Final Table Background’.

Dynamically Calculated Pay Tables
The prizes for each position in a scheduled tournament will now be dynamically updated as players register rather than waiting for registration to close. This means players will have a much better idea what the prizes for a tournament will be before they register.

Fast Moving Ring Games Product
Work continues on our fast moving ring games product. Dates and exact details of the public beta are still to be confirmed but it should be very soon. We have conducted successful private play tests, but there are still a few rough edges that need to be smoothed out before the product is ready for launch.

Minor Fixes & Improvements
As always, we have made further minor fixes/improvements to the client and server. This includes work on the bug with users’ coloured rings disappearing, issues with MAC hotkeys and some final tweaks to Flighted Tournaments.

Note: The above changes would only take effect once your gaming client has been updated, which could happen at different times for different players. Please ensure you are running PokerStarsUpdate.exe to get the update.
