The New Toys are ready! - Hurrah!

edited September 2009 in Poker Chat
Hello everyone,

ok, guys so i've been pushing hard to get these changes through for a looooong time now.... and i'm so pleased to announce that we have all the new functionality i've been banging on about for ages!

i'll try and give you a quick 'how to guide' but if i miss anything or you are still confused just shout up and i'll do my best to help you out.

ok so the first super dooper new play thing is...




 

Private messaging

to access this go to your profile area by clicking on 'My Profile' link. now click on 'inbox' and you will see a 'shiney' new area you wont have seen before. here you can look at your friends list and send any of them a private message.
another way to do it is to click on someone else's profile and then click on the blue box that say 'send private message' this will then automatically take you to the private messaging area.

yet another way to send someone a private message is when you are reading forum posts to click on the option to 'contact .....[name]' this will again automatically take you to the PM area.

we know that you might not want to get private messages from everyone, so i way to do this is to make sure you click 'ignore' against the people who you don't want the messages from. if you do this all their messages will go to a special 'ignored' folder and you can choose either to read them or as the case may be NOT!


our next toy is... Search for Friends

to get here you can either go to the private messaging area (the same way as i have just described) then click on 'contacts' , then you will see the option to 'find someone'. just type in the players name you want to find and ... BANG... you can get to their profile! cool eh!?

another way to do it is to go to your profile area (again by clicking on 'my profile') then clicking on ' your contacts' - this will take you directly to the search area.


the last cool little feature that i'm going to tell you about is the option to subscribe to a forum thread for email alerts. Got a burning question? don't want to keep checking back to see if there's a reply... then subscribe to the thread and we'll tell you when there has been a new post by emailing you directly.

to get this wonderful stuff just go into any of the threads you're interested in and click on the big blue button at the top that reads 'subscribe'. this way you'll never miss the action


as always guys, if you have any questions just shout but most of all go forth and enjoy!!

    your "my profile" should be at the top of this page mate..next to my account free bets etc

    Davey - right at the top of your page, left hand side where it says ' my account'.  Simply look across to the right of that and 'my profile' is at the end (kinda at the bottom left hand corner of the 'Sky Bet tab')

    Thanks Daveyzz - I seem to remember you from the scary tables. Do you play them?

    you can either click on your profile image that displays next to this post or click on the 'my profile' link in the top bar, it sits next to 'Withdraw Funds' and 'Free Bets'. it's also pretty close to the log out button, and where you can see your alias.

    hope that helps!

    Hi Rich, 

    I assume one of the new toys it also the "Subscribe" button at the top of each thread, which has replaced the old "Watch this Thread" link which used to place a link to the thread under my profile.  However I have subscribed to a couple of the treads today but apart from changing the link to "Unsubscribe" nothing else is happening. Should it be showing up under the watch list in my profile or somewhere else?

    Hi

    I have checked the edit functionality  and it works. Try to clear your cache, clear your temporary internet files and your web browser.

    I hope that works.

    hey if you check my original post in this thread i have briefly described the 'subscribe' button. when you subscribe to threads you will receive an email alert every time a new post is added. in the email there will also be a link straight to the tread. i hope this helps you out?

    any other questions just give me a shout.

    all the best,

    Rich

    No probs.... i have sent you a private message with the official word from the poker team. for everyone else interested here it is

    "Omaha is in the very early stages of development – can’t provide any accurate release date at this stage I’m afraid but it is being done"

    thanks

    (ps. the poker team will soon be posting an update of everyone's suggestions in the forum and what stage of development they are)

    Wow! (sarcastic :) ). when are you going to work on the resizeable windows! i can only just fit two windows on my monitor and then they overlap.
    And also,  a downloadable version of sky would be great, No POP-UPS mid game.
