I believe this was a server configuration problem, unrelated to any earlier problems. I recently (2 days ago) altered the config to allow funkypool and snooker to be restarted independently, this seems to have caused some problems.

I've just restarted the server to hopefully correct the issue. Apologies for inconvenience caused.

ty nick for the update

This is a free website. The people that pay do it willingly, not by force, so I keep my statement - It's a FREE website. There is nothing that says you HAVE to pay. You do because you want to

we do it to help well i do lol

Not sure if this comment was aimed at me after my post last page. I and no-one claimed they were forced to pay but do so to get rid of the silly and sometimes inappropriate adverts which slow down game play and in cases create lag. Also I'm happy to donate a few quid to a site I enjoy and want to see improve... I also am aware that the adverts and the odd tenner are required to keep the site going and give nick a few well earned pounds for all his hard work. Keep your statement psyco and I'll keep mine..

Like I've said before, thanks Nick for your hard work mate

Sorry physco but that was ownage

Thanks for the update Nick, glad to see one

kenny posts like that and you call yourself a league runner... isn't that naming and shaming..

sometimes moderators edit what they do correctly, sometimes its just left....

Thanks for the update nick , but there's still seems to be problems , I'm getting logged out a few times a day still .

8 Ball Pool UK Ranked - chaos_ (0) loses to ciderman (1) (by default, chaos_ left the game)

that Chaos_ has nothing to do with funkypool servers, but has alot to do with your router set up, when you get disconnected.. what does it say?

Get Mozilla Firefox Before i got it i got logged out all the time now i don't at all only when server goes down and that's not often anymore ..

Hmmmm im pretty sure it isn't my Internet as im able to access other sites , this is the message i just got a few minutes ago when i was logged out of the straight tourney >>> Sorry, an error has occurred (this has been logged on the server). Please log in and try again.



Oh and that was using Mozilla Firefox not I E this time .

Normally when the servers playing up you just get 'connection failing' and a countdown to 90 seconds.
Haven't seen that one at all

I feel that when the server has a small problem and maybe not so stable connections (certain isp's) of members get effected its's alot to do with geo.... some places have fibre connections others are still on copper wiring which cant cope..

Hi - thanks for reporting it. For some reason a few users, including you, are failing to load the new premium cues. This was logged and is already fixed for next patch - if the custom cue cannot be loaded the default cue will be shown instead. (It's not really a server issue, it's quite a rare error - it's happened only for 3 users in the last 24 hours.)

Maybe its the psn hackers come to try and take funkypool

The source of the server problems and a very significant cause of lag during game play

waitingforhttp://www.funkypool.com/viewgameadvert.do

Every 2 or 3 mins a new ad is downloaded either in play or on home page

These ads that take an age to download even with 30mb broadband must be causing server problems. I understand ads are needed to run funky but perhaps the ad providers could reduce the memory they use or increase the time between downloads.

Hi Owl, thanks for the report. If it says waiting for "viewGameAdvert.do" this means it's waiting for our server to respond. This page is only a few kb, but if our server is at 100% capacity (during peak usage) this can cause the server to get behind and have increased delays. However this shouldn't cause game issues. The adverts themselves are not hosted on funkypool.

Chaos, you should not see be logged out due to this any more - if it fails to load a custom cue it will state such in the chat window and use the default cue. Any problems please let me know.

Hi Nick
Thanks for the reply - whilst the advert (that appears in top right of game play / table) is downloading (waiting for server to respond) you cannot play a shot. This occurs every few minutes. The cue marker will virtually not move. This is worse at different stages of the day and may occur more during peak times. I have just about the latest PC and have no problems on any other website (funky is the only game site I ever visit). It stops me playing 5 sec or even 10 sec games as the clock still ticks down, albeit slower, whilst the cue marker becomes stuck in one place. I know many describe this as Lag during game play - just recently it is worse than ever.

I am a premium member and the past 2 days its been lagging and frezzin so much?
