Yes that would be a long term ambition, site outage's are a lose/lose situation for you and us, but our infrastructure is some way from being in that kind of position to be honest.
We can (and do) roll out changes on a daily basis across all of our platforms which do not require down time, i.e. they are carried out seamlessly to you our customers, it all depends on the nature of the release and what impact it may have on the live service though.
The database, storage and infrastructure work which has been the order of the day recently requires long periods of downtime across the whole platform unfortunately, there has been no alternative.
We have a number of dev environments & 1 staging which we use to test code changes before moving to production, but this is an area which we are currently investing in to improve the testing and release process, as with all infrastructure related projects - they take time and money, there's no quick fix unfortunately.

We are currently investigating the options for delivering completely resizable tables (Mininmum = currentmini view size, max = fullscreen), which will therefore have a chat box available at all times.
This will therefore likely result in 'mini-view' becoming obsolete
It's a fairly complex piece of work that is in the later stages of being specc'd out, but this would just be 1 small component of a large project. In fact it would be the biggest change we've ever made on Sky Poker if we agree it's the right way forward!

Does that mean we would have to resize our own tables everytime one opened if we wanted to multi table..and wouldn't the action look smaller than on the standard mini view because avatars/chat box...etc will all have to fit in also?
Thanks

Good questions, that's the challenge of development :-) - we must identify all potential problems and mitigate them accordingly (there are hundreds!)
E.G.
Auto-tiling & resizing options on table load
Complex scaling algorithms to ensure key functions (cards, bet amounts etc) are not reduced in size beyond a certain point (the rest of the non-essential assets e.g. avatars would be reduced further to compensate)
Complete table redesign to maximise real estate
etc!
Kind Regards

I thought I'd ask because I have seen it on another site where you could resize the tables manually but they became so small that it was very difficult to easily see the bet sizes, buttons, cards etc...
Auto-tiling would be great if it can work preperly..atm the tiling is a little odd because rather than putting them side-by-side I think it is tiling them in a cirle shape on the screen! lol
ps, being able to have an auto seat option in the settings would also be handy (i.e. so you will be always sat bottom-middle seat for instance)
Well rather you lot than me, good luck sorting it all out techy guys

Although technically I never actually asked a question did I?
