Software Suggestions/Improvements Thread


MoreTBC

Recommended Posts

Thought would be a good idea to try and create a 'Go To' thread for suggestions to improve the poker software/games so that everyone knows about things in development or reasons why things are not going to happen that may have already been suggested. There have been plenty of responses to suggestions in other threads/forums so I'll try and find as many as I can and update with any official replies that may have already been made.

Everything on the list is based off from posts from UnibetRep and UnibetAndrew on the MTT and general discussion 2+2 forum threads so it 'should' be accurate. Anything in the not planned list I'll try and stick a brief reason as well.

It looks like you can't edit threads after a period of time so hopefully a nice mod will update this as I find things.. and feel free to edit/delete anything that may be misinterpreted or is just completely wrong :)

Very good thread!

What I would like to have is the option to continue watching tables,if im out of the tournament and also the possibility to watch games without playing.

For example,I don't dare to play NL400,but I think it would be cool to watch the guys playing there,so far it's not possible,right?

In general it would attract ppl to play higher limits,cause there are not scared of what comes there ;)

I think you can watch MTTs, you just click on the player in the lobby and the table pops up. Might be wrong but I thought it worked.

 Looks like you read the 2 + 2 thread a lot!

Other game types are something I'm interested in, but aren't scheduled for development yet.

Fast is going to be several months away, but hand replayer and rebuys should be sooner.

The MTT schedule and structure stuff is up to Robin, it doesn't require as much development time, though someone still has to enter the structure info etc.

Don't know if it's just me, but the one thing I hate since the update is thw way it's hard to scroll down a list.

When looking through the tourney schedule I'll get halfway and find myself back up at the top.

Similarly in a tourney lobby, if I'm scrolling down trying to find myself (cos I'm never at the top!) it will flick back up.

That's another thing, it would be nice to be able to select yourself and stay highlighted so you can see where you are at a glance.

I think this is something for the bug report list at https://www.unibetcommunity.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/PokerBugReports

That threat is very important so i put something from me.

Please add option ' Change seat '


We don't have table selection on purpose - it's important to keep casual players alive.

if you multitabling mtt's , it can be useful


You mean choosing where your avatar is positioned when you sit at a table on your table screen, not seat selection as in choosing which table to sit at right? Some people like to be at the bottom, some at the top etc.

Yes, with a small screen it can be useful to arrange your postion at the table, so you can see yourself on all tables.
I don't think table selection was meant, I like the way cash tables are set up so you can't choose who you sit down with.

Hi! When you are in the tournament lobby and want to find yourself fast, click the "eye" icon on the right side of the page, just above the scroll thingy. No need to scroll anymore! It'll tell you your position, chips and possible payout. This is something I struggled for a while with, till I found this little thing of beauty. When you once click the eye icon, it'll always keep you first on the list, and chipleader, no.2, no.3, etc. behind you. :)

That isn't there because it doesn't really work graphically with the 3d slant to the tables.  I think it's a matter of taste though, and that people get used to it pretty quickly.

The lobby window is too big ! I can't resize it on my Windows 8 laptop. Only tables can be resized.  


This was a design decision someone took in the early stages of the project before I joined Unibet.  I agree that it wasn't a good choice, but we're working on a long term project that includes fixing this problem.  It's still a few months away though.

Oh, and the reason it isn't fixed already is that it's something very fundamental to how the program works.  Changing it means changing a LOT of other things, so it's a lot of work to do something relatively minor.  It's better that we spend our development time on something with a better return for the work invested.

Just typed out another batch of items from the 2+2 thread but I got an error when posting :( Any way to pull back the autosaved version?

 

Are the rebuys going to be Rebuy/Add on style or Re-entry?

Sorry, I don't know enough about this site yet.  If you ask in the general threads they may be able to help.

Rebuys will be rebuy/add-on style.

Glad I could help. :) Btw, isn't the below feature already available? I thought that's what the little note icon that sits next to the player's avatar is for. But I've never used it so maybe I'm wrong...? :smileytongue:

The icon next to people's names is the way to see what happened in the prior hand.  You can't take notes there.
