HOW MANY TIMES

Do you have to lose your money, because the sky software is so  screwy...entered the 7k double stack, table wudnt open, rang customer service, same old nonsense.....welll heres the thing, this laptop is 2 days old, high spec , all the latest flash player etc, and she starts to tell me to clear my cache, update my flash player etc.....sky do u not realise we;re sick of it?...i play on 6 other sites with no probs at all!!!
yea ok i got my stake refunded , but it aint the point ...im a moderate spender on this site , but if a manager doesnt ring me back in the next 24 hrs , that will change very quick!
The question is sky , how many times  do people have to complain, before you finally get your technical act together , like most other sites have.
And if a suits reading this , it would be nice to have a manager ring me !

    I also play on other sites and have no problems with connections to this site, so I must be one of the clique.

    Bear your left brest (intentionally misspelled), stand on one leg, and hold an oven ready chicken under your arm Hogan. We'll get back to you regarding membership asap.

    It's the only way to stay connected imo.

    Probably when it's ready. I work in an industry where every time the IT bods tell us the next upgrade or new install of software is coming on a certain date, it is ALWAYS delayed. You can imagine the uproar if Sky said the downloadable client was ready tomorrow and there were problems with it. My mum said patience is a virtue and all good things come to those who wait.

    There are many reasons why you may be having problems with your connection. If it was a problem specific to sky then we would ALL have problems, but we don't. There have been a number of posts, some by myself, regarding the problem with slow running and connection, and the reasons for it are many-fold. If you wish you can look through past threads, or, if you wish I and probably others will be happy to help if we can.

    just because only some of the users have a  problem with sky poker at the same time , doesnt mean that the sky software is not at fault !

    It means that your/their system is struggling to keep pace with it. It may be your provider, or your internet connection, it might even be how far you live from your local exchange. If it was a sky only problem we would all suffer.

    I offered help and tried to help you get to the bottom of YOUR problem. I think I'm wasting my time though because going off this and other posts I think you're a wind-up merchant.

    WELL---We all know that playing poker on a flash player creates problems for a lot of people--a download is the only answer to these problems,--in my experience, the reliability of this method is awful

      Can't wait for the download--- it will change my life!----touch wood !

    Hogan, I have had occasional problems with poor connection and tables loading slowly or even, very occasionally, not at all. The problem is almost certainly a combination of the internet and your local netwrork being impacted by network traffic. The fact that you have a brabd new high spec computer doen't mean that you have a fast and trouble-free internet connection and internal network. The thing with a web native application like sky poker (not a downloadable client) is that there is a lot more data traffic. I would suggest that you can certainly moan that the web native client is not efficient and is more likely to result in data load issues but you cant really say that the fault is Sky's when you have a connection problem, unless you use Sky as your ISp of course.

    C'mon guys .. lets be honest    how many of you when you get moved tables and  find yourself UTG and you to act .. your lucky  if  you see your cards let alone hit a button (fold call raise)  the software passes you ....
    How many, when the game starts  find themselves  'sat out' with one or two hands already  played ...
    How many times when your  playing do you see others 'sat out' with the red line showing the player  away from the table ...
    How much time do you get to act ?  Lucky if it's 2-5 secs !!
    In tournaments it's not the players  or  the RNG thats beating you, it's the fact that after several faults  with the software, you end up getting your chips in because your afraid your going to  be disconnected ...

    The saga of the down loadable site coming soon was told to me at a live APAT  event last March  !!

    SKYBET   are launching   NEW software very soon, BUT it's not down loadable, why would they  be doing that IF  a downloadable site was imminent ??  They wouldn't !!
    So  'HOGAN'  is right the software  i s  '~~~T"  but if you all want to keep believing it's coming soon then  carry  on ... NO one from Skypoker will say YES DEFINATLEY !!!!
    All that's said is,  "It's coming soon" ...yea  and even Stevie Wonder can see that...

    Truth is  they wont tell the truth, because if they said,
    'Oh we'll carry  on with what we have, and keep adding updates like Omaha and a few bit's and bobs", how many people  do  you think would stay here ?
     There would be a mass Exodus, so ultimately  you just have to keep  the faith !

    Lets see if  Des , Rich or TK join this thread and say,
    "People we DEFINATLY HAVE a down-loadable site coming in the next TWO months !!
     
    More Tea Vicar ?

    Having seen your other posts over the past 30 minutes or so I certainly concur - You can moan!! I would still suggest that the problem is not embedded in the sky flash client but the network data demand that is placed by the flash client. There must be an inefficiency in your internet connection, local area network or PC that is causing the problem. I hope the situation improves for you, not least because you are obviously very unhappy today.
    I am not in any cliques, by the way, at least not to my knowledge.

    i understand what you are saying  and i might agree, if it werent for the fact that i can  have probs for instance on here, log out  and go and immediately use a flash client on another site without any problem, and they ALL load a lot quicker !
    you cant put that down to my network, machine or anything my end surely?

    +1 mate!--I have no problems on other sites,or with other web pages, and there are loads and loads of posts in technical queries that show lots of people have problems, the performance of this flash player leaves a lot to be desired---fact!!
