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?
Any other comments



We thank you in advance for helping us to develop this new feature, which will help to maintain PartyPoker.com’s position as the world’s best poker room.
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.

This is great I just wanted to start 8 tabling, but did not have another monitor to do so. Any idea when this will be coming out?

The minimum size for tables is now 512x387

so that means that, assuming that size is adequate for viewing the info,

we can now 9 table on 1600x1200 monitors
we can 4-table on 1024x768 laptops

This is AWESOME. Any idea about how soon they're gonna implement it?

Oh man...I just can't get over how great this is. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So if this thing works it means that we all need to get bigger screens now.
