Is there no way you can zoom then? Its the only way I can play orig because I have such a small screen that it is impossible to line up the pots.


How small is your screen?

To quote myself from the scrollbars thread :

This is on a 15" monitor set to 1024*768, using IE7 with completely default setup (note status bar still there).

The table fills the full horizontal width of the window, showing the benefit of removing the scrollbars which would have made it slightly smaller.

Zooming is obviously not required since you cannot zoom at all without losing some of the gameplay area.

But with zooming you can easily access all the gameplay area and make the balls become big enough so its not impossible to make a pot. Anyway rant over, and I now hang up my original cue.

yoyoyo, why do you feel the need to be so selfish? Give it two days and you'll be playing again. Do you think that constantly saying you're going to leave will make Nick remove the update?

You may leave, but many people will come and replace you. So don't let the door hit you on the way out

Iamtheworst, you pick and twist on every single forum when there is no need. We are all allowed to voice an opinion, and if you don't like someones then you can say it, but you shouldn't carry on making immature remarks like that. If you had taken the care to read my post, I actually said hanging up my original cue; which, I am pretty sure, does not mean leaving this site. Constantly saying I'm going to leave, where's the evidence. Once again making silly remarks whilst trying to act like you own the forum.

I'm allowed an opinion, so is everyone else, and you should learn that, and think about it before making such a post again.

Did you look at my screenshot?

Thats a 15" monitor on the (now generally accepted) basic resolution 1024*768, and the original table is as big as it can possibly be and still be playable.

If you're having problems, let us know your setup and we can help.

Nick even if havent clicked on quick match it always creates a game called game2... will see what hapens when i click quick match and will get back to you.



Yep exact same... every game i create whether it be the quick match function in arcade in original or through the create game menu on arcade and original.. Every game is always number 2. No big thing its just incase it was a error...

Alright yoyoyo, that time I didn't read your post properly. I apologise . Now lets neither of us allow it to descend into some childish argument.

Spinner, I have a lot of black space either side of the table. I assume that means I have a widescreen laptop? According to the information on the front of my laptop I have a "15.4" TFT WXGA (1280x800)". I hope that makes sense to you.. I haven't got a clue what it means.

Yep, that's widescreen iamtheworst.

Check the widescreen thread:
http://www.funkysnooker.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=4318

I think this will improve gameplay significantly for those using a widescreen monitor.

I find arcade is alot easier now tbh-but original should definatly be changed back. Look how many people join original tournies now-not many at all! I just feel wasnt many original players anyway-and is a shame it looks like original is dying off now.Just my opinion by the way! On the plus side, at least nick tried improving the site a bit more, which is a good thing-just feel it didnt work so well this time. Still, at least now i can try arcade out lol

The scroll bars being removed is separate to the layout and do not belong on this thread, see:

Liked the layout when first came out and the more I come on the more I like it! It is so much more user friendly and must be far easier for new members and guests to use. The latter being the most important issue if we are attract new members.

Before anyone says, yes I have read this through.

Sorry Nick but I'm still not liking this update. It looks a bit unprofessional. Yes, it helps the new users to come onto this game, but what about the players who are already here?

I appreciate that lots of people like this, but I want you, Nick, to take in that theres others that don't like it.
