Hello 2+2,

We will be releasing a client update over the next few days (some players might have already received an update). This update continues to focus significantly on Italian ring games which were launched very recently. Some exciting things coming up with this update and over the month of August for all players:

New Table Themes
We are collecting final feedback about a new family of themes that will deliver a lot of requested table features from this thread – North-South seating, full face cards, bigger opponent cards, more readable fonts at table min-size and others. To this end, we will initially be releasing the themes to a small group of players. If you would like to be part of this pre-launch group send me a PM and I will send you instructions once everything is ready for player testing. We are working on this theme with BarNuthin and he already posted a sneak peek of one of the themes!

Home Games Social Features
Home Games clubs will be more social in the future. We are adding a wall feature to allow players to post and reply to messages in the club lobby. We are also adding an announcement / whiteboard feature for club admins so they can share important messages with the members.

Deal Making Improvements
Over the last month we have added to all guaranteed MTTs a feature that allows players to pause a tournament manually when on the final table. If you want to pause a tournament for deal discussions, simply go to “Info” tab on the table and select “Discuss a deal”. If all players on the final table select this, then the tournament will auto-pause and a Support representative will be called to the table to facilitate the deal. We will be expanding this option to more MTTs over August.

As always we have made a number of minor fixes / improvements to the client and server. These include adding a timestamp for when a note was last modified.

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.

The new 'date next to note' is brilliant, well played Stars.

Agreed could you change the colour tho? In white it's really hard to read when using Hypersimple theme with the grey chat box

PM sent for playert testing =D

Any chance of adding some super stack turbo MTTs into the schedule?

Having a starting stack of 5000 chips would allow for more 'normal' play in the early stages and i think this could prove to be popular with fish and regs.

Also, more people will late reg if they have a playable stack even if they reg 1min before it closes.

Note time stamp is awesome.

Anyone having trouble downloading the new update?
It's downloading about half way and then stopping, staying like that for over 15 mins.

where do i find the new note timestamp?
i have client v 4.919.
is this the latest?
at which version i should get the new table themes?

PLZ REVERSE THE SHOWDOWN SPEED PLZPLZPLZPLZ

Just curious Stefan when will you release the new themes to the general player base? Looks Amazing by the way.

Im using that version, can see the timestamp but no new themes.

His post says coming with this update and over this month, themes will be released later I guess

has the time warning beep sound been changed?

wow, this looks awesome.

you have to create a note on a player - and be on the "Notes" tab in order for the time stamp to appear

Thanks! Will be changed for themes where it is hard to read.

I suggest you post in the MTT Community forum which is monitored by BryanS. This thread is a good start:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...thread-949144/

This is the latest. Your new notes will have the timestamp, if not let us know.

Thanks! We expect to release to the general player base no later than early September (just before WCOOP). We hope the closed testing with players can start by the end of next week.

Not that I am aware of.

stefan i've pmed you about the new table themes but didn't get any response

likewise

Thanks to everyone who PM'ed me! Once we are ready to start the testing I will send the instructions (would be earliest at some point next week).

plz make the showdown its 'normal' speed.

ill post this everyday until its done!

Stars has the best software and it is awesome that they actually come here and listen to what their customers suggst.

Was there not a timestamp already on the notes? There was some sort of date and I always figured it was the "last updated" date??

Yes in 'options/player notes' but now they show up in the notes tab when you click on a player.
