Various Updates
Wednesday, November 10. 2010

The navigation has received a small improvement so as to not confuse new players, the page that the main navigation buttons link to are now listed in the drop down as well.

The backpack and quick stock pages have been cleaned up a little.

The popup item descriptions now show a color-coded rarity description for each item (Common, Rare, Exclusive, etc).

The search market page has been improved with an auto suggestion list when typing the name of an item.

Tournament Counter Fixed
Tuesday, November 9. 2010

There was a typo in the code of the new tables that kept some instances of tournaments places from being recorded. This bug has now been fixed and they should be recording correctly from now on. Unfortunately, there is no way to correct tournament numbers since the logs of some places in tournaments simply weren't recorded for this 2 week period.

Tuesday, November 9. 2010

When writing new messages, there is now autocompletion built into the "To" field for your friends. So, as you begin typing the username of a friend to send a message to, a list of matching usernames from your friend list will appear, allowing you to select one.

Table Sound Volume
Monday, November 8. 2010

Volume control has been added to the poker, blackjack, and liar's dice tables. In the same way that you could choose to mute everything besides your turn sound, you can now set the volume of all sounds from 25% - 100%.

Voting
Sunday, November 7. 2010

The voting issues with Apex Web Gaming have been fixed. I've also made a new voting site, MGPoll.com, which is now on the list in place of a voting site that wasn't helping us grow the community at all.

Pre-Turn Options & Sound Fix
Monday, November 1. 2010

The pre-turn options (call, fold, check/fold) have been moved down so that you don't accidentally hit a button while trying to check one of those.

If you muted a table but selected to still hear your turn sound, and then you changed your mind, unchecking the option to hear your turn wouldn't stop it from sounding. This has now been fixed.

Internet Explorer
Monday, November 1. 2010

There were a few small bugs in the poker tables that Internet Explorer really did not like, causing the tables to barely work at all. This bug has finally been located and fixed and the tables work almost as well in Internet Explorer as in other browsers. I only say almost because unless Internet Explorer is your only choice, you should be using a better browser like Google Chrome or Firefox to make using the internet in general a more enjoyable and faster experience.

Prizes Update
Monday, November 1. 2010

Poker credits now have an added use. You must now pay 25 poker credits to place a bid on the prizes for each month. This is not meant as a way to deter you from bidding, but rather an added way to get more users playing more poker.

Trick-or-Treat 2010
Wednesday, October 27. 2010

I know it isn't quite Halloween yet, but I thought we could start a little early (who doesn't like candy, right?). From now until November 3, 2010 @ 11:59pm, there are 8 pieces of candy available around the site and in the poker credits store.

There is also a Pumpkin Basket that makes carrying around all of your candy much easier. Every points pack purchase of 100+ points will also come with one of these Pumpkin Baskets until Trick-or-Treat is over.

Thank you Soosan for the awesome art!

Selective Muting
Wednesday, October 27. 2010

When you mute a table, you now have the option to still hear the sound when it is your turn, and mute all other sounds. If you want to enable this, simply mute the table as usual, and then check the box that drops down below the mute/unmute button.

Table Freeze Bug Fix
Wednesday, October 27. 2010

A fix has been implemented that should prevent tables from freezing in some instances where a player leaves a table at the same instant that it becomes their turn (it appeared to only happen when they left within 50ms or so of it becoming their turn).

Double Chat Bug Fix
Tuesday, October 26. 2010

There was a bug that sometimes caused things posted in chat (either dealer or user chat) that would show more than once. This should now be fixed.

If you are playing at multiple tables, the feature the pulls the table window to the front of your screen is disabled so that one table doesn't interfere with the other.
