Guys I couldn't agree more, plus every single table needs your chat options reset to remove the "all" function every single time you sit at a table.

What the hell were they thinking?

Please email the skins you use, the notes in particular are simply horrendous - plus all my old notes have gone.

I actually like Boss despite what was pretty shit software, but this upgrade is simply horrendous. I actually came back early this week after not having played for months on there because of Celeb's email about "resizeable" tables. Fantastic I thought, but no, it's a worse version of iPoker's mini-view - and simply unusable.

God I hate it when poker rooms get something so imple so badly wrong.

Now for the other "upgrades"

Your Hand - they can't be serious, in one of the most prominent positions on the screen, they decide to insert a box telling you what hand you have? Yeah, that's a great function, thanks for that! There was nothing better to spend your time on, or use this space for? Oh and thanks for not letting us hide this either.

Action buttons - Superb, fold is grey like always, but now call is yellow, raise is pink, check is green, and bet is orange. Glad they spent some time on that.

Time Bank - no idea where that is, but it appears that like "re-sizeable" tables promise, we didn't get this either.


BTW, if anyone gets a seizure from this flashing grey/green opaqueness that apppears on the screen when it's your turn to act, do you think we can sue?

Can't believe I forgot, no hand histories either - wtf?

Now normally I blank out my name when posting email replies. However this time I havn't done so. Why you may ask? Well because I'm not Mike.

I can only assume poor Laura has had the job of replying to all the complaints they've recieved, and she's been copying and pasting like a good'un!

Got to give a big up to Ben at SportingOdds (Paradise), he's followed up in depth on the complaints mentioned in this thread (and other forums), many of the complaints had already been sent to Boss.

NH SportingOdds, a return to the great support of the old Paradise?

Well Joe and Josh at Virgin got it in the ear from everyone for the entire weekend about the crap upgrade so no doubt they will be following it up too.
