    FTP has it right that the timebank doesn't start unless it's manually asked. I think it's pretty absurd that you lose your stars timebank if you have any chips in the pot (i.e. an ante). One can get disconnected and lose his timebank without doing anything.

    And if there's some rule against it, at least regenerate like 20 seconds every hour or something, especially in bigger events.

    you'd think you would have learned by now to just sit out when break starts so that won't happen?

    Yeah it's a huge issue Bryanps has adressed it before on 2+2 though (not sure if he posts here?) and they just keep saying that it's tough to implement and other bs excuses.

    FTP does it! and stars is supposed to be better than FTP, right?

    agreed this is my biggest pet peave with stars, played there years and didnt know it could be improved till I started playing full tilt. The player should be able to choose when he wants to use his time bank. And restart timebanks at 30 seconds at least for final table

    Cosign, although for me the biggest issue is to reset timebanks for the final table.

    maybe regenerate for a final table, but every hour?? people play slow enough as it is......giving them extra time every hour is not smart

    I miss BryanS's arrogant self-righteous indignation when the masses ask for something that the retards running all his competitor's sites have had for a long time with relative ease...

    Pretty sure he's working on a way to update payout structures to pay like 30% of the field and to copy everything else that Full Tilt has done successfully over the last year or two (KOs? A super-turbo major? Good inventions.... now give us a simple fix please)

    yeah it makes me sick to no end... losing internet for a second will activate timebanks and by the time u log back in gg timebank and now pretty much u are aqt a huge disadvantage for the remainder of your tourney life.. anytime this happens i unreg from everything cause i cant multitable without at least knowing when my hand is gonna be folded. It sucks so much that they are so behind the curve here... there should clearly be a seperate disc timebank and player timebank.
