There is a pretty big bug for players that stack. When you lose a showdown at a table that table comes to the top briefly when the opponent shows his hand. This is quite frustrating as it increases the odds of a misclick greatly and saps concentration from the table at hand. Two of the main reasons why I prefer to stack. I hope this can be fixed promptly

Table Themes is a great feature allowing you to change the background and table colors. Any chance of being able to edit the colors of the card backs at the table too?

If you are on the bubble, ITM, FT, Satellite, ......

You could quickly color the cards for additional table info.

Serious suggestion. Before all the SN and Platinums complain, think about it.
maybe call it supernova hour, where everyone earns at supernova level... (become a supernova to benefit from supernova hour all the time")

maybe it could be staggered: silver hour, gold hour, platinum hour etc...

When will you release this update for the .COM Windows client?

It would be better broncestar+, silverstar+, goldstars+, platinum+ and supernova+ happy hour. The higher vip status you reach the more happy hours you get.

This is entirely the opposite of the idea being proposed.

I tried to switch from Zoom to regular ring during the milestone hands, but this made it infuriating.

If you want you can go into the pokerstars folder containing the graphics files, and open them in an editor to change them.

You can also buy cusom themes from some sites. I use one called Mighty Mouse which is better for HUDs than any standard theme.

Not sure how many would like this feature but perhaps it would be nice for the players who play at that lower levels of the VIP Tier.

I know for qualifying each month for Gold Status its 2500vpps....I also am pretty sure there are many players who earn more than that per month, but also not enough to qualify for the next level up, Platinum.

Could there be a way perhaps to install a "bank type system" where perhaps a player who earns 3100vpps that month, could bank 600 ( using 2500 to maintain Gold ) but keep the 'extra 600' in a "vault" or something like that so they can use them toward their next months attempt at getting to Gold.

Lets say a player knows that in a month due to a vacation, extra hours at work, or a perceived burn out of play :P they will not be able to play as many hours as they did the previous month.

With this feature they could earn just 1900vpps, apply the 600 from the "vault" from the previous month and still maintain their Gold level.

Again, not sure if many would be interested or if there would be some crappy way people would use this to manipulate the system but I think it could be useful in situations like I stated above.

What do you think?

I already installed the free card backs mod (18 colors) in this 2p2 thread:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/45...l#post37462853

Would be great to change the color of the cards on the go.

I uploaded a pic of the cards colors / tables on my blog.

Probably get sued by AT&T if Stars implemented their rollover plan.

I can make Gold each month but I can never reach Platinum. If I could bank any points over 2500 in a month and use them towards the next month it would mean that every 6 months or so I'd have enough to get a Platinum month.

The value to PS is that instead of switching off at month's end with a "Well that's my Gold for another month" attitude I'd have an incentive to play some more if I thought the points would count towards an aggregated target.

I'm mindful that PS need to see value before they'll agree to anything but this does seem to offer a win/win solution.

I love this idea myself, as ssmtt/msmtt grinder I can always reach goldstar but I never go platinum, what's more if I reach goldstar and at the end of the month something pops up to do I'm giving up sessions much easier than before I hit, this change would definitely help me with motivation after I've done my personal plan minimum for the month

Pretty much everyone has been reporting this issue frequently for the last month, and since 2009, in great detail, recurrently.

Stars just don't listen anymore in here in general, and at this problem in particular. As I said several times, it's obviously much funnier for them to release new stuff than to fix a pure and widespread money-and-temper-loosing bug. Perhaps they don't grasp it yet, but this is only gonna hit back on themselves.

When I play 20+ tables, I want the cascade to have default sizing when I 'cascade tables.' I have a medium sized monitor so the table sizes get really small after 24 tables when I 'cascade tables.' I would like an option where the tables sizes stay the same when I 'cascade tables.' This helps me (and may help others too) because I am used to looking at the default table sizes. Thanks in advance!

Edit: I see a 'reset to default size' option which is great but to have to do it to every single table is really taxing. I am basically asking for a 'reset all to default sizes' option. Please! Thanks again.
