Am I the only one in here that is unhappy about the fact that players using the likes of XP Home and XP Pro or a Windows OS (Operating System) where internet explorer 7 is available can zoom in on tables to gain an advantage on all games?

Playing Original when zoomed in to 115% is like playing Regular on here.

Dont you think that if players are restricted by their OS then the game settings should be amended so that all players compete on a level playing field.

I am more of a Fpool player tbh but the same applies over there, I would rather know that if someone beats me they have beaten me through ability, not the ability to achieve an advantage.

Cant we get something done about this people?

you can always go to opera or chrome which is the same zoom as what your talking about.

I don't have a zoom option on Safari and i never used it on IE. I'm not complaining.

If you can't beat them, join them. Your know it's there and you know how you can use it.

Not really a lot anyone can do.

even if they evened it out for people using zoom, those with larger screens would still have an advantage as you couldn't cancel that out. And you cant say "only players with an x inch screen can play"...

^^ Creased.

It is slightly harsh but its not unfair, as Dgen said, other systems have it too so you can get even.

Personally I would love someone to try and play Original on my computer, the balls are the size of lentils and I cant zoom in on FF.

Just practice lots then dont give them a shot
