kinda sounds lazy, but can you add session control options to the hotkey options?
pwetty pwease.

reason being, whilst mouse navigating to select a session option from the drop-down list...a table will nearly always steal focus.

Meh, advertisements/news are healthy for us as it keeps the new players attracted to the game and also they will tell their friends about any new promos running , however what I think is needed for alot of us is this:

If I hover over the icons in the Type column in the cashgame lobby, I get that little popup screen telling me it's 6max or Euro or whatever. I would like an option to turn that off. I know what the icons mean.

When im playing a session and look at my VPPs it will only credit new earned VPPs when i close a table (adds amount i earned at closed table to pre-session amount). If i want to reach a certain amount of VPPs in this session i have to close tables to see how much VPPs i already earned in this session although i might need to play more or dont want to quit right now. i realize there is the possibility to estimate by rake paid from Tracker, but this is just a roundabout way while wanting to keep focus on playing. a refresh button in the VIP Status window, maybe? Cool, Thanks!

+1. I agree, but I think tableninja is already working on gettting that sng popup at the end to autoclose.

One more thing, Pokerstars, any answer for us about the possibility to delete BOOM hands? I have 2 or 3 hands that I want to delete but can't. I'm not uploading anymore ever hands to BOOM replayer because I know if I regret later I won't have the option to delete. If delete option was there I would upload way more hands.

Why doesn't Pokerstars (or any other site) give players a profile they can write about themselves? You can put name, hobbies, motto, whatever. Makes sense for casual/social players. Though obv the 24 tabling regs won't care.

Add 2.5/5 as an option in the min/max stakes ring game filter.

Would be nice if you could BOOM!!! hands without having your browser pop up, not sure how this could work but would really make it a lot easier to use while multi-tabling.

Any idea when it will support the retina display? The last feedback was "soon"
Font changes are not there yet for Mac. We will see when we can add those for Mac. Also, the different Ring Games views would only be added after the Cocoa move is completed (currently it's being tested internally). Same goes for retina display support.

Besides chat emoticons, fonts, and ring game views, the other improvements will be rolled out to Mac.

We definitely want to allow this and the only reason it's not there is a matter of priority as it's not as straightforward to link BOOM! posts to PokerStars accounts.

I suggest you email support@pokerstars.com and they will take it from there.

Next day I'm back on the 180 grind and have to re-do my filter.

The addition of custom filters would not only help people like me avoid a little effort/annoyance, it could potentially improve traffic by enabling more players to quickly flick between settings. For example, if it were easier for me to check the lobby for Steps SNGs during a MTT session I'd probably jump in more often when I see a game about to go off.
Fully agree, we are working on such functionality.

We will look into this.

Good idea, will be part of future hotkeys improvements, but those are not planned for the immediate future.

There is no way to disable this specific tooltip at this point.

If you open Cashier this will also credit any temp VPPs. This is a very challenging item to adjust unfortunately.

We could look into this -- technically should be possible.

As some players have already posted, we have added the ability to register for another Sit & Go of the same type in the dialog that shows once a tournament ends for you. This is simply a convenience feature to allow players to jump straight into another Sit & Go of the same type.
Please make this for HUSNG too. Somewhere in the Rematch window make a feature to register to another HUSNG if no Rematch happens.

I like the new small size in the client, but the size in tournament lobby is way too small .. can't we change both independently of each other?

I'm using PT4 and have downloaded an extra definition/report and can see the accurate number of VPPs anytime in the current session report. It's very useful. Not sure if something similar exists for HEM.

There has been noticeable lag for the last week or so. Gets worse when switching between Game type tabs in the client.

Could just be down the Mirco Millions events gaining more traffic resulting in a bit of lag

yeah I've kind of got used to this and accepted it as standard. Also takes several seconds for cashier to load. At least the tables don't appear to be affected though, so I guess it's not as bad as it could be.

BTW I'm still having major issues with focus stealing. If I'm typing in a skype window or browser tab when a table pops up demanding action my typing flow is interrupted. This is infuriating and makes it a huge PITA to hold a conversation while even as little as 2 tabling. A stars rep helpfully PM'ed me a while back to request my log files, but the issue hasn't improved and it's only fairly recently that it's started happening. Anyone have any ideas?

thought i'm the only one...

never had stacking issues so far but with this new update it's basically impossible to stack anything more than 12 tables without making a ****load of misclicks because tables stealing focus left and right for whatever reason

how difficult can it be for a programmer to make a queue and next table in queue pops up and has focus until u make your decision without any other ****ing table popping before it is his turn in the queue.

While 24tabling stacked I've been having weird stealing focus from the table that needs action issues. It seemed that at some point the table just randomly decides to go back into the stack which is pretty frustrating cause it gives more room to misclicks. Later on I noticed the issue seems to occur whenever a new table is opened by tablescan turbo. I'm not sure if it happens if you open a new table without TST cause I just use TST for that.
