Hi, Hello all. So far you all seem to be enjoying the new software client quite alot, judging by the feedback we have received. Though some of you are having a few small issues with some of the new features such as the player details box. Not to worry, as I’m going to show you exactly how to get the most out of this feature.
The player details box has several functions. It allows you to keep track of friends and tags, view further details about a game, manage games you are playing and which games you are awaiting to join.
Friends and Tags – The player details box allows you to keep track of both your friends and tags. Friends are obviously those fellow players who are your friends. They must accept your offer of friendship in order for you to see them when they are online. Once this is done, you can view which games they are playing and join to play against them. Tags on the other hand are players who you have tagged for a specific reason. Perhaps because they are an easy player and you know you can win money off them, or alternatively they may be very good and you wish to avoid playing in a table with them. The difference between friends is that you can not see them when they are online. If you come across them in game, they will show up as a tagged player but you are not able to track them like you are friends. In addition, they will not know you have tagged them. Furthermore, you are also able to tag your friends. By clicking on the edit contacts button you are able to edit both your friends and tags, as well as access more detailed options regarding your contacts.
Tagging players is done in game, and all you have to do is simple click their player box. Which brings up the below screen. Viola! Done!
Thanks for this information.
Wow, your new software allows me to know and see where my friends are playing.
What it leaves out is the ability to cheer them on in their game. Why can’t you add observer chat. Every other site has it. I would like to play in tourns with many of my friends, but it’s too late to know what game they will be in next without observer game chat. This, new friends have to accept you to be a friend should unlock an observer chat, so you can communicate where they are playing and your desire to have them join in and play with you.
You must know that a player will play one more time if they know that they can play with a friend. Without the ability to tell them. we are just frustrated players that can’t cheer on our friends plays, or invite friends to a game you are planning. Why bother having your friends list anyway. It’s a useless frustrating thing you added as some kind of mean practical joke.
