[PokerStars] Software Improvement Thread - Page 155 - PokerStars: General discussion -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

1:
yes, it happens with 2.991b.

let me explain it more clearly:
let's say you play two tables cascaded. table A is already running, you're registered for table B. now you have action on table A.
- table B pops up in front of table A for the first time -- when the table opens.
> you click on table A cause you're in a hand there.
- table B pops up in front for the second time -- when the preferred seating is done - this is about a second after the first time.
> you click A again.
----the following only happens since the token bug is resolved:----
- table B pops up the third time -- when the tourney starts a minute later. ("tournament is starting. good luck"). you still have no action to take on this table! unless you start UTG obv.
> you click A again.

now why is this necessary? the more tables you play the more this becomes a huge problem. i don't ever want a table to come to front unless i have action to take. it should be: no action buttons -> no table.

OMG someone else is bothered by this too! Please please please please please fix this!

I play with a gamepad and I just absolutely love it when table B steals focus right as I'm trying to act on table A, and I end up selecting [x] Fold when I've got KK, or [x] Call Any when I have rags.

It's happened to me so many times I'm about to have a breakdown.

Edit: New tables stealing focus the first 2 times is also incredibly annoying, but as there are no buttons to click, it's not an actual problem per se, and we've all just become used to it. But it's still completely unnecessary.

ok i know this is nevergoing to happen cos it must be like super rough for your ppl to include in software but anyway:

How about you let us choose color and font size of text on tables---with small resized tables its total **** to look at and hard to read.

think this was mentioned million times but cant hurt tor epeat again.

I'm thinking it's almost +ev to keep it that way if all the other regs hate it so much, but yeah it was definitely better before. Stealing focus is bad.

So I play on two monitors and when I play on FTP (Yes sorry, I still do :P) I can tile my tables on both monitors without any problem. For example, I can tile 2 tables on monitor one and 4 tables on monitor two separately at the same time without them interfering with each other. But when I play on stars, When I choose "tile tables", all tables are tiled on the monitor where I have my taskbar.

Please fix this.

this would give nearly 0 chance of making a mis-click in this way, but i have no clue about programming so i dont know how difficult it would be to implement. its prob not even feasible, just my 2 cents

Unjoin all waiting lists please. Also I never knew that a stars rep responded like the ftp rep does. Can we get a new thread for this?

Yeah, that was pretty cool, credit where it's due.

But don't worry, we have some pretty cool stuff in the works too. In any case, the competition between different sites will work out really well for players.

Full Tilt also screwed up deep cash tables and their support is 10000x worse than Stars, so lets not give too much credit

I came to this thread for the same request. Please use the color coding system and have visible notes from the lobbys. Obv color coding should be visable from lobby also.

seriously, that would be such a huge improvement. please try to figure out a way to do this.
thanks again.

Yes, please do this. ty
Glad to hear the newest popup issue will be resolved soon though , so ty again.

Yeah, It sucks when you are playing a lot of tables and a new sng pops up and you have all the tables you have action on are behind it. You have to go to to the task bar and figure out which sng you need to click on or wait on one of the running tourneys tab to turn orange.

This so awful. I can't even describe how annoying this is.

Perhaps an option in the settings to have that new sng/tournament table pop behind all the tables not taking control as a primary table requiring action from the player would do.

Either that or once you click ok then it maintains the order of tables requiring action instead of making the boxes on the toolbar orange for a player to have to figure it out themselves.
