    no worries kev. i appreciate it is really frustrating but once things calmed down if you have lost and funds that you deposited you will be refunded.

    I'm sure every upgrade brings out a few gremlins.

    I bet the I.T. team are running around like headless chickens at the moment.

    I must be one of the lucky ones. Everything seems fine to me.

    Shame that the only way at the minute people can speak to someone is via the forums, But now there are plenty of 'site not working' threads.

    Just an appeal, can everyone keep the problems to this thread. Otherwise, in an hour you will need to go back 3 pages to get a read about something thats not problem related.

    I know it's very frustrating when you cash has gone bye, byes and you cant open a game but a little co-operation from all of us might just get these problems fixed quicker.

    OK RICH i understand there is problems but a little frustrated by c care yet again, im sure the refund will be put in l8er anyway so no worries

    thanks Kev.

    everyone - all the problems should be fixed with the site working as it should. now go and enjoy the new toys!

    Things seem to be settling down now.

    The Site did not "breakdown" this morning, as one Poster suggested, it was a scheduled outage.

    They have this morning installed a whole raft of improved features - the first of several major upgrades planned for the next three months - & it's very complex stuff.

    It's now mostly finished, & all the bells & whistles are now coming back progressively, with the new Features too.

    To improve the Site these Upgrades, & the bit of temporary hassle that goes along with them, have to be done.

    I hope that all makes sense.
  • edited October 2009

    Does everyone know what all the new features are, & how they work?

    If not just ask, & I'll work through them with you, one by one.
  • edited October 2009
    Mine is working fine now, can see the Lobby and can see my account / my profile.

    Looking forward to using the new improvements. Not that I can play cash at the moment, but the fact we are going to be able to see the players cards when all in will make things better.

    Sky ever evolving :) Even the presenters are winning the Open now. 

    TK am I right to say that we now have one analyst and one presenter winning it? ;)

    Hi Tikay/guys. Yes there were some minor hiccups this morning, but support have sorted it out and i'm off to play with the new toys!!
    Is this going to help/harm the speed of the site, as this has been an issue for me and others in the past, i.e. is there anything behind the scenes in this upgrade that will help or do the new toys slow it down at all, just curious, keep up the good work.

    2 Analysts actually - James Browning (no longer with us) won the Open, as well as myself.

    And Lisa got 2nd in a big BH last Friday - she's deffo the best Presenter Player on the books right now, & is far easier on the eye than Orford, too.

    As to Orford, well, it pains me to say it. But he played it technically perfect, from start to finish. Like you, & many, many, others, I Railed him from 3 or 4 Tables out, & he was Billy Low Stack all the time. down to as little as 4 or 5 x BB's several times, he clung & clung, just waited & waited, tikay stylee, for the right spots to push. I don't buy this "you HAVE to shove regardless when down to 10 x BB" nonsense - you MUST wait for the "right spots", it takes great nerve & patience, & Rich did it brilliantly. In fact, technically, I think he played it absolutely perfectly, he did not make one mistake, or miss one "spot".

    There, I've been nice to him. That's the last time. Ever.

    I seem to recall Dave Compton winning one.

    I may be mistaken though.

    No, I was wrong, Compo was the presenter the night James Browning won it.

    Just Click "Status" (the last header on the right, top of the Lobby) & it reverses itself.

    Each of those Headers can be clicked to change the layout of the Lobby to suit your particular & current need.

    So it is 2-1 to the analysts. My bet is Lisa to get close quite soon. Is Sarah not playing?

    Check your bankroll guys after finishing a dym or tourney.
    I wasn't credited with winnings after cashing in a DYM, approx 1PM.
    Customer service on it, but for everyone else, worth a look.
    Even when I win, I don't win!

    I can't find any game at all,

    I assume they are about to close the site again for a while and running down the games.

    I had the same trouble with my account not being credited with the winnings, but, thanks Sky, all sorted.
  • edited October 2009
    yes the sit and go's have been suspended until we have all the problems resolved. thanks for being patient on this one we will have everything working again shortly.

    hi there,

    i'm really sorry to hear about your problem. unfortunately we are experiencing a few site problems at the moment and not everything is quite working as it should. these problems will be resolved shortly and everything will be functioning as it should. you can rest assured that all winning/transfers/deposits will appear in your account. this may take a short amount of time but they will eventually be there.

    thanks,

    Rich
