even though i'm playing on a web based table the download client just spawned a new one and took control away from my web one. no choice. on my web table a message pops up to say i have a duplicate table open.
and even though i registered for another mtt on the web browser, the table opened from the download client. so i guess you cannot even have the download client open if trying to use the web tables

away player not showing up which is so important in DYMs
Sky have tried to make it too fancy, and it just hasn't worked not great software for the end user to be honest. sometimes simple software is the best.
Any chance running old software along with the new.
haven't used new tables so i'll reserve judgement until later. For those of you who play on mini view - there's gonna be an alternative mini view which is very similar to the old style tables.
just played a sat there to test new software for mtts, i must be in a minority here but i think its decent, couldnt get any worse than the old software, if people think the old software was good then they cant of ever played on any other site other than sky.

couple of questions: do you use mini-view? and what exactly did you think was bad about the old software? It may not have been slick looking but it had one massive benefit in that was incredibly easy to follow what was going on. Which should be the number 1 importance of any poker software.
I cant deal with the new tables, just doesnt feel right, the only good thing is that they are resizeable apart from that I prefer the old table in every way,. think I may have to take some time away until the old tables are back as I cant concentrate on more than 2 tables at once, and it is definitely affecting my play.
I do not like this new format, really like old style. Will probably play else where. Will Sky miss my dosh. Plenty of players will, given plenty to them over last year.
I dont know what the fuss is all about, for years the community where moaning about the lack of resizeable tables.
Its like any change, something you have to get used to. The new tables will attract more players to Sky than it will lose, and is great when your multitabling cross sites.
IMO the tables are a massive step forward. Cant speak for anyone else, but I can easily fit 9 tables on one screen with no overlapping and this pc wasnt bought for playing poker.

yes i use mini view now the software has changed, the old software i had to stack the tables though because when ever i went onto miniview and typed my bet size in the box it added an extra 0 on the end of my bets, then wen i go to delete the 0 it puts the curser back to the first number, bit of a pain really. anyway i never said the old software was bad, just that it wasnt good, ive played on every site u can think of and they all have better software than skys old version.
