little things help a lot

things like time bank, a beep when its your turn to act etc are simple things that would improve gameplay a hell of a lot.

ANY steps towards making the functionality similar to either stars or tilt is a step in the right direction, these two sites are by far the market leaders in terms of software.

more of game play issue, but deadstacks are an issue when playing the freerolls,
I might have a solution to solve this,

instead of having a break after 1 hour, maybe bring that back to 45min or something similar, and remove the deadstacks from the game somehow..., and when you're registering for the game let the player know that this will happen if he/she doesnt take there seat!

why should a deadstack receive points for game where he/she took no part in?

I play on the big three because their tournaments/structures/software are first class, compared to the crap 888 have.

Needed ASAP:
Timebank.
Ante's.
Ability to see mucked cards.
Better hand replayer.
Add on's that work.

+1

Some smoother looking graphics and table themes would also be good. But the above would be awesome.

And the "stats" box in the bottom right corner is never accurate re avg stack, field position etc
If you ask me, Muhammed Ali in his prime was much better than anti lock brakes.

dunno if anyones said this but what bugs me bout the software is the lack of the shield and new 888 logos. all the in venue gear is new and flash and the online game should echo that. still feels like two separate leagues and thats gonna turn players off.

not a bad idea matt.

a custom 888pl skin would be pretty sweet

if i can be arsed, which i probably wont, i might even make up some custom graphics with the 888pl logo.

dave is prolly the man to do this!!!
