Party's new Beta Software---- great features

I just got an email from Party inviting me to test their new beta software before a full-blown release... People are going to love this feature:

Resizing a table
To resize an individual table, drag the right or left hand side of the table in or out. The entire table will resize to scale.

****
Full email below:

As one of PartyPoker.com's most valued VIP players, you are one of only 300 people invited to test a new feature on our software before it is officially released. This is one of many developments planned for the future.



We have designed this new feature for players who enjoy playing on more that one table at a time. It will enable you to tile, cascade and resize multiple tables.

Please click on the link below to download and try out the beta version of this feature




Test our new feature







Once you have thoroughly tested it, please send us your feedback by replying to this email and include screenshots if necessary. This will allow us to make any necessary adjustments before release.

When playing on the smaller tables, did you find the text, images and graphics: Much too small, Too small, just right, could be smaller
Were you able to resize individual tables successfully?
Did you find the tiling and cascading options useful?
Were the tiling and cascading buttons located in a convenient place?
Was your overall impression of the resizing, tiling and cascading options positive or negative?
Did you encounter any technical problems?
How many tables do you generally play?
What resolution do you generally have your monitor set to?

Regards,
PartyPoker.com development team

Very very interesting. Someone else posted about this in the Zoo as well. Post some screenshots if you can.

Will do.... I'll be playing with it more later this evening.

The most remarkable part about their email is that this is the FIRST time that I can remember Party Poker's software team ever soliciting comments from their players. Which makes me think that perhaps they will be more receptive to constructive comments.

I have my own list of things that I've emailed them about over the past few years which I'll be emailing along with my evaluation..... but if you guys have any gripes and suggestions---- add them and I can email those as well.

Dell's going to get their monitor profits cut in half [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. I wish they had come out with this 6 months ago before I bought all of these LCDs.

9 tables is too small on my 19 inch CRT. I played 3 sets on it with no trouble, but I'm afraid it will dammage my eyes if I do it a long time. I think this is much easier to see on a 2001fp, and I am considering getting some still.

So far, my opinion is that there are two main things that would greatly improve the software--- and correct me or add additional suggestions please...

1) Ability to have a "default" table size, so that once you have a size that works for you, you can have future tables always open in that size.

2) Recognition of a second monitor (for tiling)---- and possibly, ability to set Monitor 2 as a default monitor.

Also--- I've always wanted a "manual refresh" button in the lobby, which I will be asking for.... Anything else?
