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.
Instead of telling everyone how much you hate Pstars' software, why don't you try to actually contribute to the conversation and suggest ways it can be improved.

That is so weird, I know that is a popular thing to say.
But it is simply not true, it is a myth that is well preserved.

Just one example; I would like to play many more tourneys.
You'd think PS would let you, but they boycot that.
All these tourneys are in a different place and you would constantly have to change your filters, which is even harder with the thousand extra clicks you have to make for no reason in these supertiny boxes.

It would be great if they skipped all these extra clicks, so we can play poker meanwhile and it would be even greater if they had a favorite tourney list and tournament reminders, so I could play these tourneys from now on.
Other pokerrooms have that.

PS doesn't want me to multitable on their site or they would let me.

I made dozens of suggestions in this thread in as many posts and when that was totally ignored I also made these threads among others:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/32...e-mtts-470168/

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/44...l-fold-724455/

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...000-ps-727478/

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/45...xes-ps-766738/

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...lay-ps-754264/

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/32...ps-ftp-926411/

I would love to hear some suggestions from you as well.

This is a thread for discussing possible improvements to the software. Making a post about how much the software sucks doesn't provide anything to the conversation if you don't include suggestions for improvements. Neither does this side argument, so go ahead and berate me as much as you want, any further posts by me in this thread will include suggestions/support for other's suggestions for improvements.

As long as people aren't even aware PS isn't the best software at all, PS will feel no pressure to improve it. I have been making these suggestions for years, but this thread isn't really about improving their software, but rather their image.
Our complains have zero effect.
But you are a newbe, so you didn't know that.

My suggestions aren't just random by the way, but all improvements that have actually been made by other pokerrooms years ago.

Went back only 2 pages.
Here are already some suggestions that should have been implemented years ago:

At other pokerrooms the first thing you do after you log in is check your buddy list. You often sign up the same tourneys. While waiting you can chat. You'll play a lot more and it is a lot more fun. People never saying anything is not normal and typical for PS. On other sites it is normal you make friends you will meet irl. This is associated with fish now, but for grinders and sharks it works the same.

At other sites you click control something and your tables are spread out your entire screen (no matter what size screen or how many tables). At PS they think we still have 14" screens.

The betslider is by far the biggest problem. Such a stupid problem, that is so easy to solve. At other sites they already have these buttons. You can click X BB and from there still adjust your betsize afterwards with a handy slider a few times bigger than on PS. If people can bet faster it speeds up the game, which is good for both the players and PS. The way the slider is now many multitablers find it impossible to bet what they really want. And if you can't control your betsize you can't play real poker. Therefor PS isn't even a real pokersite.
If they don't fix the slider they understand nothing about poker.

but it doesnt matter, just make a check-box so it activates ALL THE TIME

Tableninja SNG sensei DOES all those things if you set it up correctly.

1) it will if you set the "x minutes" (which is actually "x seconds" btw) to a very low number, like for example 5 seconds.

2) it works perfectly for 18mans, and always has? in fact, imo it works better for sngs that only spawn one at a time

3) this is true, although clicking "stop", browsing, and then clicking "start" again is an easy workaround

Furthermore, SNG sensei also allows you to set how many of each type of SNG you want to keep open at a time, and total number per sng type, etc, which would very unlikely be available in PS version of this feature.

I can get by without this feature also but while we're making suggestions...
This is true though.
Even though Tableninja does all these things, it also does hotkeys etc, meaning other features that are currently being implemented in Stars software.

So it would be a welcome addition imo as well, even tho it's already fully possible with TN.

This would be very bad for the games since it makes them even slower. Or do you want singletabling fish/rec players to quit entirely?

Also fwiw, there are 3rd party solutions for auto time bank out there (even for free); use one of these instead.

Please include ALL the rebuy and add-on info in the hand histories and tournament summaries...In particular, if you rebuy before the first hand, it should be included and it is not...this should be in your files somewhere and after all of these years, it is hard to believe it isn't...a lot of us need this info for HEM...Thanks

the time bank of sng is 15sec in turbos, make exception, idk..
using TN too but if u play stack tables the top will activate but will all the other do ? have u tried it? i did, several times, mostly cause i dont have breaks in the sng format I play and lemme tell u its not nice.


EDIT: stars has good software, but it could be way better.

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.
