First a word on the pop up at the end of Sit & Go's: It's becoming very clear that the immediate problems have arised for players who use third party tools that have been auto closing the previous version of this pop up which had just an "OK" button. Hence players might have fully forgotten this pop up even existed. Now the pop up has two buttons and those tools don't work anymore, hence the perception that we have added a new pop up that steals focus, when in fact this pop up in a different shape has always existed and has always stolen focus.
That said, the fact that third party tools are needed to remove this pop up and that it causes a lot of issues when it does show for certain types of players is not something that is good either, so we will look at how to fix the problem so that there is no need for third party tools.
In the short term, I would strongly recommend that if you find your experience to be severely affected by this pop up to go to "Options" > "Advanced Multi-Table Options" and then check "Auto Close tournament without notification". I understand this is sub-optimal for some of the affected players, but most likely if you are very bothered by the pop up your experience will significantly improve overall.
For the client update in June we will look to roll out a full solution to this pop up stealing focus and I will post here what we would plan to do soon.

This will be added, but not with the update next week (more details will be posted soon on what's in that update), but the one after around mid June

I'll adress it like the xxth time, please introduce an overhaul of the rebuy.
(example with 1 Rebuy = 3k)
1. There are situations like losing with 6k to a 5,8k stack and sitting with 200 chips, unable to rebuy to 6k and rebuying to 3,2k isn't that cool either. So I have to shove anytwo in hopes of getting like 1-2k so the +3k will be near 6k or to bust and double rebuy
2. I'm blinding down from 6k to 3k but can't rebuy because the software doesn't recognize I'm actually below 3k. Like when SB is 150 with ante of 25 and I'm getting into SB with 3125 chips, upon folding SB (like when BTN shoves) im sitting with 2950 chips but can't rebuy. Now I'm getting like AA in the next hand and has to play it with less than 3k instead of 6k
Just make it like top up in cash games. So 3000 chips are 1$, so if I blind down to 2700 I may top up to 3k and pay 10cent, easy as that.
Re: Rebuy format changes: This would be much better suited for a discussion in the following MTTc thread:

Lagging is sometimes caused by us, but the vast majority of the time it's caused by circumstances outside our control. Lags like the ones you describe can be easily caused by your internet connection experiencing a latency for many many reasons -- those can vary from your local set up to things fully outside your control. Also keep in mind that latency in online gaming is smth that is a lot more noticeable than when you do other things on the internet. You are unlikely to notice small latencies in your connection when not playing online games, but even a short delay of few hundred milliseconds at the "right" time when you play poker can be experienced as lag.
We are monitoring player reports on system issues all the time, and the situation that you describe with lags every other day for past two months that last for about 30 minutes sounds like smth very unique.
I am sure you have done this already, but just to be sure -- have you contacted
support@pokerstars.com to see what insights they can provide?

While scrolling though/clicking the waiting list in the lobby, I would like to be able to "hide" the tables that I am playing on as well as the ones that I am already on a waiting list for.
I understand that they are color coded to help keep the separation but I would like to be able to have an option to just take them off if at all possible.
Not saying that this should be a must but it would be a nice setting/option for me to use and perhaps some others would like it as well.
OR are enjoying it already and I am a PS noob when it comes to these kinds of things. That could very well be it also :P
It's a nice idea that we will look into for the future as an option for players who play a lot of tables.

No news right now. We do want to offer this functionality for sure.

On the other hand, there are also many good suggestions in this thread that have been implemented and released to players for years now which wouldn't have been done otherwise!
We read the thread daily and consider every post and obviously not everything can or will be done that's posted here. But this thread is invaluable in terms of player input for software improvements for us, so keep the suggestions and discussions coming!
