This includes a few small changes:
- New straight pool practice mode (press rerack on US 8 ball until straight mode is shown top left)
- Change to home page (uses less bandwidth)
- Forum changes, you can't leave a page when editing a post without confirmation, and timeout while editing increased from 30 minutes to 2 hours

Also a fix to remember me - which wasn't working 100% before.

To have that can I suggest that the recorded stat is a multiple of 15 as that shows the ability to break the pack to carry on the run - one of the fundamentals of Straight.

30+ and 60+ (or 45+)

Great with the straight practice! Apart from that it doesn't change back to US8 if you keep clicking it unless you click onto another game and go back onto it.

Thanks, eemad, it is just that the game description doesn't refresh. Play a shot to make it refresh. This will be fixed next patch.

nice work on the straight practice

would it be posible for it to say in the window (practice run 29) like it does on snooker with practice breaks

30+ and 60+ straight runs available now. It starts from now, but for a single value dependent on your greatest run score.

Practice straight runs (5+) shown in chat window, Fix for rebreak when white is in the rack all added.

EDIT: Oh, also a few more changes to website aimed at increasing speed.

Nick

If you pot white on str8 practice table it allows you to place the white anywhere on table - can you add a patch to ensure white goes behind white line only. Whilst I obviously realise you should place the white behind the line anyway it is just useful not to be allowed to place it anywhere....
