Hi, I've updated the following:

Website optimisation - pages should load faster, in particular the home page.

New table choices - each snooker table has 4 choices, and carom has 2 choices. The tables are in superior image quality, but as they are partially constructed as the game loads (in milliseconds) they allow the total game size to be significantly reduced (425kb to 346kb, about 20% smaller). In addition adding new colours is much simpler.

Premium changes - no adverts shown anywhere, instead your online friend list is shown. Also reminders are shown when you're close to reaching the end of your subscription and you have the ability to purchase an additional year while you're still a premium member.

Increased player limit - this week the server has reached the simultaneous player limit, so I've upped it from 450 to 550, as the server was coping fine.

loving the new tables! only thing i would ask, is there a reason why it remembers all your table preferences except power snooker? or is that just me?

There was a bug for some time that power snooker wasn't remembered, but I believe it's resolved as of the patch last week.

Mine still doesn't remember, is there something i need to install and havn't done?

I have the same issues with the power table Nick - it has never remembered my preference.

One guestion Nick...

Please check the light green colours, especially in arcade, the corners and the size of the 'hole' (sry bad english probs there) seem different comparing to other colours.. Could this affect gameplay? (slighter changes on light green appear in other tables too)

GR8 additions, thank you for once more

im liking the new colours, especially the dark green and the blue on carom

heres an idea though, have you thought of changing colour of the marker, might help especially on the light colours.

Indeed the middle pockets were altered a few pixels, and the underlying logic is changed likewise, so unfortunately the old table is now slightly inaccurate.

Following feedback from here and pool there's demand for "flat" tables (without light) - so I'm looking at a way to add this in a next phase, and if so, for snooker I will use these instead of the old tables.



Sorry, what do you mean marker?

the aiming marker nick, the white circle what surrounds the cross on the playing table.

Is that called 'ghost ball' i think dgen?

Thanx for the answer nick !

something like that yeah.

im liking the blue on carom though but the blue on other tables is a little lighter and if it was like the blue in carom it would be perfect

Loving the new tables

is there a way i can set it default to green tables - dont mind colours on pool but snooks should be green

except carom which should be blue

thats why i said snooks

Doesn't it remember our choices? When i log in i get the same color that i set when i logged out.

yeah i have green on snooker at the moment as blue is a little bright, and blue (FTW) in carom is a little darker so its easier to see

Still call for an orange snooker table ( as it does actually exist)

All brilliant changes though.
