Would like too see all this over on snooker, what an excellent addition.

Top stuff again nick!

Just thought, im not sure if new users quite realise what the change cloth table is and i think it needs to be made more clearer what it means.

Cheers, I'm a bit stumped on snooker at the moment as there is less vertical space available.

Regarding the cloth change, spinner suggested adding tool tips to the top buttons and links, and I'm going to play around with that to see how it looks. (In case you don't know what a tool tip is it's the popup help that shows when you hover over a button or a link)

Also adding another table to UK pool should make it clearer, as currently the button does nothing in that game.

I will be glad to see colour options over on the UK table. I find it too dark to play on - maybe my eyes just need testing.

Good work Nick, I must admit I didn't like the changes to start with. Now that i'm used it I have to say it's a job very well done.

Thanks, actually the feedback has forced me to polish it quickly, which is probably a good thing.

The colours for the table seems to greatly depend on monitors and system setup. For US pool you'll probably find some colours too dark or too light.

Actually regarding my comment about snooker above there's not that much to do regarding lost space, seems it's pretty much the same size already.

Possibly this is for a snooker thread rather than here, but i was thinking the other day that the new layout would be fine for arcade, but that original would benefit from retaining all the space it can.

Perhaps you could have essentially the same but without avatars? Or use the persons country flag instead?

Spinner, it would work on original with out reducing the table size, all nick needs to do is reduce the size of the chat area (exactly like pool's) and that will be fine. Looking at the original table it has space at the top to work around and by reducing the chat area you will have as much space as pool. I have a 19" monitor so with people having 15" i don't know if that would work, but nick could always reduce the size of the buttons at the top.

Snooker applet table area has lost about 5 pixels vertical height on my development machine, so it's not as significant as it was initially with pool.

OK, a few small changes today and yesterday.

Rankings and percentages should now be shown to 1 decimal place across the whole system.

If game is abandoned before even 1 game is played you'll see a "Match cancelled" message in the chat area.

Finally, non responding players are kicked off the server quicker to improve the game for other users. If internet is disconnected previously you'd have 150 seconds to reconnect. I've reduced it to 120 seconds.

yay

When did killer change may i ask im deeply gutted i was just getting my point bk up form -280 lol and i lost it lol

OK a few changed today with the forum.

1) Typing limit increased to 1500 characters.

2) Ability to turn a member's name into a link by surrounding it with member tags, and ability to have hidden text by surrounding with spoiler tags.

3) Some game fixes and optimisations which I hope improve the responsiveness of the applet for people with a slow machine or slow connection.

I have noticed since the restart, when playing uk8 when the ball gets potted it isnt being registered where the potted balls are normally registered.

Right think i got it after 2 minutes on practice table...

If you win a game say for example with 7 balls left, in the next game the potted balls would start from where the last potted ball was registered in the first game on the left hand side where the balls go when potted. (this is also happening on us8!)

However once this is full it is unable to show the balls anymore!

Well done Nick thats alot better now.

Trust you! lol

lol well....

since the new layout i keep not being able to type in the main chat window.

By keep i mean intermittently, not that often but its annoying when it does.

Having typed nothing but gg after each game, after a game it says no spamming please when i type =S

its done it a few times to me since this came in and never before so wondered if it was a lil bug.




Anyone else having this problem?

No becuase we don't spam mike !

Lol Nah mate never had the problem

the new layout is fantastic, and the game has a much better feel to it, perfect, well done nick.
