Based on the fact that I am earning bonus dollars at the same rate as I was before, I would *ASSUME* that it is based on how many combat points we *would have* earned had we still been receiving them.

However, you're right, this needs to be made explicit in the rules. Another sloppy oversight.

It's not actually a dropdown -- it's a new window that opens in the upper left corner of the table and winds up covered if a new table jumps to the front before you're done writing in it. Which is, needless to say, really annoying and poorly designed. It should be integral to the table so it can't disappear if the window gets covered.

Oh well, add it to the crazy long list of not-well-thought-out things on ACR.

The note stays open in the bottom tray of your screen even if the window gets covered so you can continue typing where you left off. Then you just have to cursor over the player and his notes will show without having to click anything. It works fine. To complain about this is completely bitchy.

Still, you should be able to type till note is completed, regardless of where and when you can finish after a table pops up and overrides note box. The bigger deal is that you even need to cursor over player to refer to notes(which stays viewable for a limited time which is not ideal). Why, like other sites, can't one have open all notes on each player and not just one at a time?

How does the time bank button work?

I decided I finally wanted to take time when in the money in a MTT, and clicked the time bank button like I would have on Stars... but the button turned red, so I reasoned that would mean I deactived it... so clicked it again and it turned green, so, I just settled for being confused, and pushed all-in before regular time expired.

I suppose I can just go figure it out at .01/.02 or something, but other people might like to know, and ACR may want to improve the interface. I've been playing real money online since 2002 and obviously it wasn't intuitive to me. "Toggle Red/Green Time Bank" has not been defined in my experience. I admit to being completely old and stupid though.

I did search this thread for "time bank button" to no avail.

Thank you.

Green= on

Red= off

Starts automatically after you time down.

are tables still with massive nitty regs playing there 10/7 games for the beast

Yep, still making the cash games unplayable.

I disagree.
While it isn't exactly wide open, there still are many new soft spots on a nightly basis, at 100nl anyway. And I've come to discover that there are more than a few regs who overplay TPs as well as FDs. Pleanty of spots out there imo.

Of course there is soft spots. No one ever said the Beast grinding nits were even good. It's just the majority of games the majority of time are unplayable because you have 7 people at FR grinding the Beast timing out and playing as tight as can be. If you play $1-$2 or higher it's not as bad. Also, if you get on non Beast tables the games are usually really good.

Why insult people personally if you disagree with something? Don't be a dick.

There are a zillion things wrong with this site's design and this is one of them. If this was the only thing wrong with it, that'd be awesome, but that's a fantasy world.

ACR rep:

It's been a week and you have yet to clarify what you meant would be ready in the next few weeks. (You said 3 then, so I assume 2 now) Is it the new software or is it the new MTT schedule? I asked about both in my post and you responded w/ "It should be ready in the next 3 weeks." Can we get some clarification?

You're the one being a dick. Needlessly and analy trying to correct a previous poster on the exact nature of the note taking. I was just calling a spade a spade.

There are a lot of problems with this site, and we discuss them all the time. But we can't ignore the elephant in the room.

It is a question that I asked in early in 2012. It has been asked several times since, including in the past month. It has never been directly answered:


Are player funds segregated?


Unfortunately, the fact that the question has gone unanswered so many times makes the answer obvious.

----------
EDIT: I did get an answer when I asked. The answer was, "Your funds are safe." Ask anyone who played on Full Tilt if they think that assurance is sufficient.

The answer is, does it really matter? If a site as small as WPN goes down do you think you're getting money any way? Doubtful. The simple solution to playing on any US site is to not have more than you are willing to lose on the site. WPN has great cash out speeds so there really isn't an excuse to get caught with your pants down.

You're asking a question that isn't going to be answered.

You've been MIA for over a week without letting anyone know you would be. Defeats the purpose of having a support thread no? Please respond and clarify if you meant the software or tournament schedule.

Even if they would reply and say the funds were segregated, you'd probably be the first to ask for evidence and this obviously cannot be given due to the circumstances in the land of the free will to screw their citizens.

I don't think this is correct. Mine is always green when I sit down, and when I need more time I have to click it and then it turns red. So I only get additional time when the time bank is red. Is it like this for anyone else? I agree that they really need to improve the time bank feature, as it can be confusing at first.

Its not correct. You are right. Everything he wrote is completely wrong.

Green = Off

Red = On

Doesnt start automatically after you time down.


Basically, the total opposite of his post.

I agree it is confusing and inefficient to say the least. Not having it on by default or an option to turn it on permanently is the worst part. Even after you get used to the software timing out is just ridiculously easy.

^ Correct, my bad. Got it mixed up with a working time bank.

Is anyone having trouble with combat points and bonus freed amounts not moving in the cashier window? Mine havent moved since Friday, I have talked to live support a couple of times and cant get a straight answer from them. I am beginning to wonder if it has something to do with receiving rakeback.

Its easily mixed up unfortunately. Hopefully in the new client they will have a better system. Seems like a pretty safe bet that they will.

You don't get Combat Points anymore if you are on Rakeback, that was changed a couple of months ago. As for the freed bonus it should still move as you play ...

Thanks for clarifying 39suited, I will continue to watch my bonus.

Of course, you have to plan for the site going down and not getting your money.

That said, the size of the site really shouldn't matter. Good business practices are good business practices. That's how small businesses become big businesses.
