In today's update:

A. Mini View: As promised, we've been working on a smaller version of Standard View. Mini View is the same size as Classic View, so those of you with smaller resolutions (like on a netbook) will no longer be stuck with Classic View. Actually, nobody will be stuck with Classic View, because it's no longer an option. Unfortunately, it was just too difficult to develop and maintain all of our new features in Classic View. Apologies to those of you who didn't want to switch lobbies, hopefully the powerful features available in Standard/Mini View soften the blow.

B. Ring Game Table Finder: There are lots of cool things here. At the most basic level, it's another form of waiting lists. You can still join an individual table's waiting list, but if you just want to be seated quickly you can also find the first table of that type that becomes available. If enough people want to find that table type, it will even create a new table for you (think "interest lists" in a brick and mortar poker room).

At a more advanced level, through Favorites, you'll be able to join the games you want to play faster than ever. Just create a Favorite that matches the ring game you want to play exactly, click the new magnifying glass icon next to the Favorite's name, and join the list(s).

Either way, when you're on a waiting list (or multiple waiting lists), you'll be able to keep track of all of the tables you're waiting for through "Requests->View My Waiting Lists..." (or just hit Ctrl+W).

The waiting list summons dialog has been improved, too. It now lists pretty much everything you'd want to know about the table before you decide whether or not you want to sit down, like the list of players there and the various table stats. So no more hunting through the lobby to make sure you still want to sit at the table.

One thing you'll notice is missing now is the Wait column in the main lobby. All of these waiting list changes made the lists far more complicated, since people are joining and leaving the "global" lists so often, the data is changing too quickly to efficiently display that column for all of the tables at the same time. Hopefully you won't miss that column too much, and in fact there are a few advantages to not showing that number. ("Oh, 7 people on the waitlist for that table? Must be a huge fish there, everyone swarm!")

If, for whatever reason, you don't want any of this new stuff, you can just check the "Always Join Individual Waiting List" option and waiting lists will work just like they used to.

There's a lot to this (although hopefully it's all pretty intuitive), so check out all the details here:

C. SNG Registration Improvements: We didn't want to make all those improvements to finding a ring game without improving your ability to join SNGs at the same time. So now if you have the "Auto-open Tournament Lobbies" option unchecked and you click the "Register Now" button for a SNG in the main lobby, the tournament lobby will no longer open and you'll just be presented with the buyin dialog.

And then, in that Buy-In dialog, you'll have the option to check a box at the bottom called "Register for another Sit & Go of this type". When checked, you will be presented with another Buy-In dialog for the same type of SNG after you buy into the first one. There's a counter in the top right corner of this dialog telling you how many SNGs you're currently registered for and playing, so you can just keep clicking the buy-in until you're in as many as you want to be in.

D. SNG Player List Widget: This works just like the ring game version. Click on a single table SNG from the main lobby and see the list of players currently registered or playing. You can even take notes from there! Go to the Customize dialog in Standard or Mini View to add this widget.

E. Badges: They might not be your thing, but lots of people like them. Four different badges right now, likely more to come eventually. You can turn them off through Options->Badge Display Options... (or through the Table Options). From there you can turn them off for you, for others (if you want to, uh, hide the fact that you play Rush Poker), or just disable the links. Collect all 4 and they turn *slightly* brighter!

F. Random Ordering of Heads-Up Tables: Or, more precisely, random ordering of all like-tables with only 1 player seated. So this also works for 6-max and full ring tables. Basically, everyone will see a different order of tables with only 1 player instead of the former alphabetical ordering, so no table is any "better" than another (no more fighting for the tables that start with the letter "A").

G. Automatic Crash Reporting: If your game crashes, you will now be presented with a dialog to send a log of the crash to us so we can figure out what went wrong and fix it. Please err on the side of sending it, since we want as much data as possible to try to sort through any remaining crash problems we have. If you have time to describe what you were doing at the time, please include that as well.

H. This is Big: Well, bigger. The little green light in Standard/Mini View when your Advanced Filters are enabled is bigger now.

I. She Will Flip Out: And cut your head off.

second.

I think it's great that FT is constantly trying to make a great site even better. However, for Rush Poker, how about offering more options for games... especially for limit holdem and omaha. The biggest limit holdem is 6-max 1/2 which doesn't get a decent amount of people often. I wouldn't mind seeing some 3-6 full ring or 6-max. Also, even though I know people don't care for limit holdem mtts, (they'd probably rather watch paint dry) how about offering a 6-max limit holdem guarantee? Perhaps alternating the nightly 24+2 limit mtt between 6-max and full ring. Thanks!

It appears they removed the column for # of players waiting for a game, this is a horrible thing to remove...

Doug, the update messed something up and my ftp client won't open. Every time I log-in it tells me "Full Tilt Poker has encountered a problem and has shut down", offers to send some kind of error report, but this doesnt work either. Would be playing right now if not for this........................ please help?

Its classic view lobby he's talking about not the classic view table.

If you've got a classic view lobby you ain't playing on ftp :)

You can change to mini view by going Lobby > Choose Lobby View > mini view
Its just like standard view but fits nicely on a laptop.

You can also pop out the widgets which is quite handy!!

yes but on the upside ive found out that im a true poker player...

Makes sense now...cool thanks!

I absolutely fucking hate this new update, when multi tabling if you accidentally click on one of those badges it opens up a page on internet explorer or whatever your browser you use. Any way we can turn this off, it is pissing me off so fucking bad.
