Yes, it is seriously annoying. I have closed Party in protest and won't play until tomorrow now. Of course, I'll still play....

It's the sign of the times. Be very scared.

[benza13]

Yea, I noticed this today too. Hopefully this doesn't keep up, cuz its f'ing annoying.

[bluef0x]

I got one every minute for 5 minutes... and then whenever I clicked OK partypoker would close and reopen (but wouldn't connect to my tables.)

So I'm forced to close PP and open it up again- this is the beta software. Anyone else having this problem???

Guys, i'm not sure "tech" is the right place to send this, so please forward to applicable dept.
But these "pop-ups"....they are purely annoyance, an im getting alot of them. It pisses me off.
Can i turn them off?
Some say you are testing for bots with them, ok, whatever, but once in a while should be enough, not every 5 bloody minutes.

I had to vent.
Let me know if i have any options here.

Dear Kevin,

Thank you for contacting us.

If you are referring to the tournament pop-ups, they are designed to act as a reminder for players who have registered for tournaments.

They will include the date and time of the start of the tournament. All you are then required to do is login to the tournament lobby at the pre designated time and you will be taken to the tables.

Well then, why not direct them to nly those who have registered?

It would be one thing to have a pop-up announcing a big event that was going to start within a few minutes, but the pop-ups I've been seeing are for tournaments that are 4+ hours away.

[zipppy]

Yeah, I had emailed info@party earlier tonight and got the same response. so frustrating and annoying. popups every 4 minutes are not cool.

I'm gonna write a script to auto close the [censored] things. I've had enough of them. I did this before for MultiPoker anyway.

I doubt they are bot testers. They are on a timer and disappear if you don't click on them for a while.
