    Not having a go by any means just wondering.
    Yeah, I use boards for pm's alot and the bball forum so I'll be sticking around there too.
    But I haven't been as active as the other lads were, and that's not going to change, so boards.ie will def need at least 2 other very active ppl to mod it imo.

      Where do you see those 2 people coming from? Surely not inside the forum? I can't imagine who they'd ask.

            Installed vBulletin 4 first. That scared me, so went back to the older version.

            As for the // issue, having that problem in emails too. It should be easy to fix if I can find the damn thing. I'm avoiding looking at the code though which doesn't help.

                resize it to 80x80 maybe? That is the limit I think.

                      I'm thinking that there's a parameter somewhere that tells vbulletin what website it's on. Yours probably reads "www.irishpokerboards.com/" and should read "www.irishpokerboards.com/forum"

                              I don't have access to my original boards.ie e-mail address (dormant account) , so it looks like I'm a refugee!

                              At least there's a nice warm home here.

                              I've had nobody to talk to about demolishing Rush Poker! Or nobody to ask for help in convincing FTP that they should give me rakeback or else I'm leaving. ( stupid 60 day limit bullshit)
                              This is what i sent them on 4th Dec

                              Dear Sir/Madam

                              I have recently started playing on FTP again - as you can see from my records i've playing well over 100 STT in the last 2 days and i would like to continue playing on FTP, however i do not have rakeback on my a/c - I was told that it is possible to get rakeback even after having an account set up - can you please shed light on this and if it is possible can you please send me details on how i may get it set up.
                              on the 6th Dec i got this

                              Thanks for getting back in touch with us about rakeback.

                              We expect that you will hear shortly from our preferred affiliate partner, RakeBackPros.com. We have sent your player details to RakeBackPros.com and they will be in direct contact with you.

                                              I'm absolutely useless at "threatening but not OTT" e-mails. Here is the response I have written to their last e-mail.

                                              its only a draft, so would appreciate someone's editing alright!

                                              Hi,

                                              thank you for taking the time to reply. Could you please advise me as to how to withdraw from my account? I do not seem to have any option when clicking "moneybookers" in the withdrawal section of the poker client. It simply transfers me to your FAQ regarding the withdrawal method.

                                              Again I'd like to voice my dissatisfaction at the process for rakeback procurement. I play quite a lot of poker, and on many sites, and have never before had a problem attaching rakeback to my account after signing up for the site. In this case, I even ensured that I had signed up for rakeback before joining Full Tilt. I can only take from this experience that Full Tilt does not value new players enough.

                                              regards

                                              Emmet

                                                                Yup. Trying 60 out myself.

                                                                Btw, if anyone has any suggestions or bug reports there is a forum for that. If there are any new skins or whatever people want then post there and we'll see what we can do.

                                                                  Good luck with it lads.

                                                                      Dear Sir,

                                                                      I appreciate your timely reply. I have a follow on query resulting from our previous correspondence in regards to withdrawing from my account. I do not seem to have any option when clicking "moneybookers" in the withdrawal section of the poker client. It simply transfers me to your FAQ regarding the withdrawal method. I would appreciate any assistance you could give me in terms of withdrawing my funds from your site.

                                                                      I must once again voice my dissatisfaction at your policy in regards to rakeback procurement. I play quite a lot of poker, and on many sites, and have never before had a problem attaching rakeback to my account after signing up for the site. In this case, I even ensured that I had signed up for rakeback before joining Full Tilt. I can only take from this experience that Full Tilt does not value new players enough.

                                                                      I would have hoped that a more satisfactory outcome might have been reached. In the event that this is not possible I can assure you that I shall not be using the Full Tilt software in future, nor shall I advise others to do so.

                                                                      I sincerely hope you might re-think your position in regards to this particular issue.

                                                                      Regards,

                                                                      Emmet

I do feel that the poker forums outlook has become more and more at odds with the overall direction Boards as a site has taken.

There were feedback threads a while back saying the poker forum was getting too big for its own boots, clogging up the main page etc.

                                                                                              A lot of people don't like us.

                                                                                                                  It will be interesting to see how boards will deal with this situation.

                                                                                                                  Clearly they are trying to commercialise the site, attracting more advertising, employing community managers to deal with pr etc. I'd imagine the poker forum is one of the most active forums, largely because of the community feel generated in the most part by the core group of regular posters and mods. IF this change is a long term one then the boards poker forum will never be the same again. Yes there will be new posters but there will not be the numbers that there once was.

                                                                                                                  I'd imagine most, if not all of the poker clubs, sites and related advertisers would choose to follow the community too.

                                                                                                                  Could mean a small loss in money for boards.ie. Interested to see what happens, especially when a thread is eventually started re: mods resigning because of Lloyds demodding.

                                                                                                                        It all reminds me a bit of this

                                                                                                                          Is there any decent new TV show this season? I vaguely remember basquille saying that there was only one worth the time and effort to follow.
