Thanks guys! Although I have to admit I suffered no problems myself, I just saw some chat about it at the tables.

last night was the final poster's freeroll (a fantastic tournament, thoroughly enjoyed by our community members), unfortunately a few technical problems with the site may or may not have affected some player's ability to play in this.
we release this must have been extremely frustrating and we all take it very personally when the site performance lets you down.
as a special, one off, goodwill gesture we have decided to re-schedule the final poster's freeroll so that this tournament can receive the send-off it deserves.
the tournament will be held next Wednesday at 7.30 and have the slightly new name 'the Rich invitational' - all players that played in last night's tournament will gain automatic registration. (note - there is no posting requirement).
i hope this helps ease some of last night's frustration and allows us all to get back on with enjoying life in the Sky Poker Community.

( p.s. A big 'thank you needs to go out to Sky Des and Bernie for making the final decision on this)
Nice one and well done Sky and congrats Rich on the name of the tourney, well deserved.
I am not in it but gl to all that are.
As a side issue I couldn't get into the 8.15 deep stack for half an hour after it started on any of my 3 computers in the house, I suspected an issue with Sky but when I did get in only me and 1 other had been away, was this the same issue that affected the posters freeroll?
Cheers

A tear almost came to my eye, yay another one![:) :)](https://community.staging.skypoker.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)

Just a quickie with the site problems, pin whoever your techie guys are down by their />>>>>until they give you a server that can cope with your success becuase whatever they telling you now aint working.
I am sure sky is losing customers as fast as gaining them because of these issues
WHEN IS THE DOWNLOAD COMING OUT RICH?---I THINK A BIT OF NEWS ON THIS MIGHT JUST STOP THE REST OF US FROM GIVING UP ON HERE !!!
Maybe another chance to cash in on the LAST posters freeroll.
Good Luck to all (again).

Thanks to Ske Bernie and Sky Des for this.
I was one that was badly affected last night and I know of others who would be pleased that there is going to be a re-run of the final Posters free roll.
I should be back in time for this with the right frame of mind to go deep, hopefully.
A true Sky poker hero, i assume that the suits recognise all your hard work and have rewarded you with a stress ball for all your hard work
General concensus in the chat box is that sky poker is a great site when its working but when things like last night happen loyalties are stretched!
I definitely appreciate the 2nd chance though, so Thank you!
but excellent news about next week
cheers rich

Once again the suits and Rich come up trumps, a big up to Sky Des and Bernie, and at last, the tourny is named after you YES
A BIG THANK YOU guys.
thankyou for the gesture of a final final posters freeroll. I had a few problems last night, though my awful play at times was giving me more to worry about. At one point, when it was me to act, the timer appeared on my screen but the action buttons to fold call or raise did not!
Given that this was a freeroll with friends i was not overly troubled or upset, but i can understand that anyone having the same problems having paid to enter a tournament would be extremely frustrated at the problems. I hope they can be ironed out soon, because the good feeling in the sky poker community is as high as it has been right now, and I'd hate to see these faults undermine it.
And finally, to the other posters freerollers who are sad to see it go for now, lets just sneakily add a thread every week after the game, detailing technical problems that we had, and get another one for our troubles. See how many more we can squeeze out of the suits lol.
