New US pool game released
- Both 8 ball and 9 ball have a new version which is meant to add more fun to the game.
- The older version is still available and renamed "Pro" version

Chat text area is improved
- Clickable regions are now underlined, eg links are shown
- Click on username within chat to open a PM window with them
- Various problems have been fixed eg links failing when split

Guests are muted in chat rooms
- Guests chatting ability has been revoked in chat rooms, and they can no longer initiate private message sessions.
- However guests may still respond to PMs initiated by someone else, and can chat in game rooms

Banning policy has been updated
- Basically any user who is banned is banned permanently, they may *not* create a new username, and if they do so it will be immediately banned.

this is amazing nick loving the the new 8ball n 9ball

Whats happened to the overall stats?

lol good question 1_eye

Well I presume they are now averaged over the 5 games rather than the original 3. So you have to have competed in all 5 games to have overall stats and since the 2 new games have only just become available only a few hearty souls have played them! This is a tad annoying though as I was chasing sharp7 for top spot (whilst looking nervously over my shoulder at cityfan84)!!!

Correct, mr_crawford.

For tournament wins and most wins I'd like to show the players on the stats even if they've not competed in all events. (Currently they don't.)

Yeah that seems a good idea although everybody is going to have a go at the new games and therefore play at least a few so they will then appear on the overall stats. What about tournament wins though? Do you have to have won a tournament in each game to appear on that list? Will there be tournaments in the new games?

The tournaments will alternate between the 2 games for the time being.

To appear in any overall list you need to compete in every available game.

they new tables are alot better

Yeah i agree well done Nick.

AWESOME news!

As much as i like the other updates, those two are fantastic, especially the banning one.

VERY well done and thankyou Nick!

As much as i like the muting guests feature it has created a new problem for me...They are all signing up as members and i'm getting non-stop pm's.I know there is the ignore feature, but mine is already full. Please can u introduce a new feature where u can ignore all pm's at all times (which would not include mods and admin) or users on ur friend list?? Would be very much appreciated!!

Sounds like a good idea claire!

*wonders if he makes the friends list*

Additionally, your rankings gained before are also listed under the "pro" game.

There are more people joining this site everyday and you take the tournement room away. How come?

Reorganizing the rooms. "Tournament room" was a confusing room name as you needn't be there to enter a tournament. "The funky blues club" is now members only instead, currently upto 150 members can chat in the lobbies at any one time.

The new tables are much better, might start to play US more often now hehe

Will the "ignore guests" feature be removed from options?

Nice work Nick.

Variety is the spice of life!

hey nick i was wondering if we could have tournaments earlier cause i have to wait another 5 hours till i get to us 9 which is my fav

r tournies going to start every 30 mins now?
