ive just been thrown off the game site for no reason and was wondering if it was an error ? i was 1-0 up in the 9 ball tourney game, half way through the 2nd frame i got thrown off and funkypool internet windows both closed down, for no reason, now im out the tourney, and got an abandonded stat on my profile which i didnt want, anyone know whats happened ? and has it happened to anyone else ?

Happens to me sometimes when I'm running other programs, or downloading updates!

More than likely your computer or internet connection, if it's the sever this end, then lots of people would of been thrown of, not just one!

It's happened to me loads of times in quite a few finals aswel like john says it would of been your internet connection did it come up with 1/8 in the top right corner?

nope quick, and 1_eye i didnt have any other programmes running or downloads taking place, was just in my game and the game window just closed from out of blue, then the home page window box closed down, i tried to log straight back in, but it wouldnt let me onto the game site, dont know what happened, just all closed down

Maybe Your computer stopped responding and closed down all of the windows?

sounds like a browser error and is definitely not an issue with funkypool.

okies then, thankfuly hasnt happened again yet, just thought id let you know incase it had happened to others, cheers people, if it happens again what do you reccomend i do ? just incase

Sounds like a bug in either your web browser or OS, might be related to the funkypool java script or not, no idea

What I *have* seen is that eg. firefox self-updates tends to reset all connections, but never seen it actually close windows. No idea what IE does tho.

nothing to do with the java script pal.

simply would have been an error with your browser as i said.

for future reference try not to open too many windows or programs as this can overload your ram and lead to these circumstances.

hope this has helped

I doubt it too, but no way to be as sure as you are, unless you know exactly what browser and build he is running and have previously confirmed that to work ok with the *current* version of the FP game.

I do agree tho, by all means, that the problem is far more likely to be located in the browser or other applications he was running at the time - I just like to point out that we lack data to exclude the game as a factor as well.

the same has just happended to me while i was in tournament (6pm us9 speed), though i was sent to chat room.

this has happended three times now (all sent to chat room) and like wolves i dont really like abandonded stats. (the two uk8 were me cos i left for us9 tournament)

im up to date with java, i use ie7, nothing else was running and nothing was downloading.

it was only the first round but its not the point. what if like quick_pot it was a final. geez i would be mad

any help or suggestions at what it might be and is it just 9ball?

Did you by any chance close a PM window _wolvesdude_?

This is a relatively common occurance with Firefox (which randomly closes no matter what you're doing), but i've only seen it once in IE.

One thing you can do is clear your browsr history including downloaded program files, then do a windows update, reboot, and try funkypool again.

Sometimes, after a game update, the cache'd version of funkypool conflicts with the online parts (dont mean to patronise, trying to stick to laymans terms!) and causes problems. The above will ensure a clean, new version is used.

it must be something to do with the 9 ball tourney, must be a glitch in it or summit, because like lise said if it was to happen in finals i would be well mad, plus i dont like abandond stats as it looks messy..

happened a few times to me, firefox just shuts down then when i tried openeing it it said it's already running. <_< abandoned stats make me cry

Thats normal for Firefox, it rarely shuts down properly even from a crash

(you can right click the taskbar to bring up the task manager and shut it down from there)


Can i ask anyone who experiences this problem to contact a moderator as soon as you get back on so we can check what has happened.

Getting the info to Nick will help him find any problems.

i usually play via msn favs rather than IE or firefox (or is msn same as IE?)
I never had a problem

For all practical purposes, yes it is.


And, while in danger of derailing this topic entirely, I'd recommend FF over IE *any* day, including for this game. I've generally experienced way less problems with forefox compared to IE which is one of the more buggy products ever to hit the market.

ive just been thrown out of 9ball again. though this time it was completley off the site and not to chat room. this is now the fourth time and to be honest im getting annoyed
i know it was only the second round but its not the point. i have another abandoned game on my stats and i aint happy
suggestions please as ive done what you said to do last time

thats exactly what happened to me, what i did was run a full system scan after closing all internet windows, had to fix the ammount of tracking cookies or summit, then i restarted, and i aint been thrown off since, try that
