Preloading
Friday, June 29. 2007

I have added a loading screen to the poker tables. When you click on a table to join, it will display a loading screen very quickly while it loads all the cards and other images associated with the tables into your browser cache so that everything loads quickly and smoothly while you are actually playing.

All In Bug
Friday, June 29. 2007

I just fixed a bug where the pot didn't update correctly when people were going all-in before the flop. I also think this fixed another bug about unfair splits, but if there are any other issues with all-ins please let me know.

Ranks Page
Thursday, June 28. 2007

I have updated the ranks page to show a few more lists. I will also be adding monthly rankings in addition to overall soon, and I am thinking about making monthly rankings the main ranking shown around the site, though there would still be an overall ranking on the ranks page, but I wanted your thoughts about that first.

Blackjack Bug
Thursday, June 28. 2007

There was a random bug going around in blackjack where users were in a hand and then it randomly put them out of the hand and took their chips. This should be fixed, but if for some chance it still happens of course let me know.

"Sit Out" Bug
Thursday, June 28. 2007

I keep hearing about this "sit out" bug where you can sit out on your turn and automatically win the pot. If you know anything about this bug, please message me how it is done and anything you know about it so I can fix this. Remember, if this bug isn't fixed, the site can't leave its beta stage, meaning no prizes, and no cool unreleased new features.

July 1 - The Big Day
Saturday, June 23. 2007

The day you have all been waiting for, the official launch out of beta, is coming very soon. July 1, 2007 is the day, but don't expect a midnight launch. I still have a lot of work to do before then, so I am just going to say July 1. It may be at 12:00 am, or it could be 11:59 pm, we will all just have to wait and see.

- There were some serious issues with rankings and payouts which have been fixed now

- Instead of saying "user went out in 1 place", it now says "user went out in 1st place"

- You can now leave the table if you are in the top 3 and receive your credit

Sidepot Double Bug
Saturday, June 23. 2007

I made some changes and the side pot double bug should now be fixed. I did some extra testing to see if it messed something else up, but it all seemed to work fine, but as you know with these things anything is possible, so if there is some new bug with side pots let me know.
