Any way to stop FTP tables from popping up when action's on me when I cover them w/ a web page? Any way to stop FTP tables from popping up when action's on me when I cover them w/ a web page?

Long story short, due to an unfortunate severe medical problem, I am unable to live on my own right now, and am forced to live at home with my mom until it improves.

My mom, however, is extremely anti-poker, and does not allow me to play online poker in her house.

I've noticed that on pokerstars, if you go to advanced multitabling options, and uncheck the box for "pop table up when action is on you", then if you open a webpage while you are playing, then, even if action gets around to you and is on you, it merely blinks the little bar thing on the bottom of the screen, but doesn't actually pop the table up over the web page you have covering the table.

However, on FTP, when you open a web page to cover the tables with it, when action is on you, the tables always pop up over the web page you're viewing.

I can't figure out how to make it not do that on FTP.

This is a big issue for me, because, if I could just get the tables to not pop up over the web page when I hide them underneath a web page, then whenever my mom randomly fast-walks past the back of my couch once every 20-30 mins the way she always randomly does, I'd be able to just quickly click on a web page that I have already set ready to go in the bottom of the screen to just click on so that it instantly pops up and covers all the tables so she can't see them when she glances at my laptop whenever she quickly zooms by through the family room, or when she zoom-barges into my bedroom super fast to like try to catch me doing **** in my bedroom or whatever (sigh).

Anyway, with pokerstars, it's actually worked great, I can always cover the tables up with a web page in time before she can see that I was playing poker, and then just wait for her to be out of the room, and then quickly sit out from all the tables till she's back to the other side of the house.

But with FTP it doesn't work, I have to just not play it at all other than when she's out shopping or after she's gone to bed, which totally sucks, since I miss out on the prime playing hours of like 5pm-11pm or whatever when the most donks are playing rush instead of just regs.

Does anyone know a way for me to make it where I could cover the tables with a web page and not have them keep popping up over the web page when action lands on me on the tables?

Thanks.


Oh, and also a 2nd question, since I don't want to make 2 threads at the same time in this forum I'll just put it in here:

Is there any way to get HEM to separate 6-max Rush poker from full ring Rush poker? For some reason, even though it splits all the other non-rush poker up jsut fine, recognizing the 6-max as different from full ring even when it's the same stakes played, when it's rush poker, it groups it together, 6-max and full ring, as if there's no difference, it just groups it as "Rush poker" of whichever stakes it is, it doesn't split it into 6-max Rush and Full ring Rush. Is there a way to get it to split it into 6-max rush and full ring rush?

thanks

It just says Full Tilt Poker and shows an ad for some tournament or some bonus or promotion or something in a little like 3 inch by 3 inch box in the middle of the screen for a few seconds and then dissapears on its own after like 4 or 5 seconds.

Oh, one last thing, does anyone know how to change what the little tab things on the bottom of the screen (the "taskbar" I think it's called, like, if you use a windows computer that long horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen that has tabs for whichever websites/programs you have open) like is there a way for me to change the full tilt poker tab from saying "full tilt poker" to instead say something else like "college basketball" or something?

I've tried changing the name of FTP in the start menu/programs menu thing so that it shows something else isntead of "Full Tilt Poker" but even though I changed it there, it still shows it as "Full Tilt Poker" in the tab for it on the bottom of the screen when I'm playing on ftp. Is there a way to make the name be something else in that tab, and also for the tables, so when she sees the tabs on the bottom of the screen they don't say poker stuff on them? thanks

I seem to be having the exact opposite problem. I tile my tables in the backround with a browser over them and I like when the tables pop up when its my turn. Yesterday I downloaded HEM and run the HUD and now the tables dont pop up anymore which becomes a huge pain for somebody that multitables. now everytime i hear an alert sound i have to minimize my browser and look for the table thats waiting for my action. I've tried clicking and unclicking the diplay table on action option but still the same results. It works fine without the HUD but for some reason not with it running. Has anybody ran into this. I'm hoping its just a quick fix on the HUD options. Also, I play on fulltilt and the bottom right hand player also has their stack size covered by their HUD box. is there a way to move that over a little bit so i can see clearly how many chips that person has left?

Hide stuff under a window that's always on top, such as the task manager.

Right click and drag box wherever you please.
