Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

- ugly ass interface
- stupid looking spotlight that follows the action
- a chip count that's nowhere near your cards
- uneven player distribution at the table, so you can't see at a glance how many players are sitting
- barely-resizable and uncloseable stats and chat windows
- if you use the mini-window to fold and then switch to that window, the software crashes
- AND all the same problems it had before.

Also includes a Call button that frequently display amounts other than what was bet! (super useful Call Any and Raise Any buttons also included)

But wait, there's more! Sit in the 12 o'clock position for a secret advantage... if you go all in, your cards are covered up by the ALL IN graphic!

"Now wait," you say, "can't they just see your cards in the hand history?" That's true, they can... if they want to quickly type out the hand number and manually search for it under the Account menu. But most of them won't bother, especially after clicking the Previous Hand button only to receive a "Hand Not Found" message.

LOLOL, Bodog are experts in making ugly software. They should join forces with Pacific and I bet they could make something which physically made you sick!!!

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

That is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen. Could they be any more out of touch, with what poker players want?

p.s. Please don't ask me to try and make mod's for it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

I'm getting sick just looking at their software.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

I cant even get it to run anymore ... bye, bye Bodog!

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!

This is an advantage of my dreams (and I'm not kidding). They could also add something to hide my hand at the showdown when I'm not all-in and I'm there by a second [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

ok the new software obviously blows, i got the ling from bodog to try and install old software, but when i try to do it is says im not allowed. i have tried uninstalling the new version then reinstalling the old still no luck.

my letter to bodog



Ok here is the deal. ive just played a solid 4 hours with new software. FIrst and foremost the quick to act keys are way to close to each other i accidentally hit check call any instead of chck atleast 4 times today costing me about 100 bucks total most noticable calling 89 sooted for 50 pf in a 1/2 nl game. Number 2 player icons and names are way to small. 3 the little time icon is way to thin. 4 i hear sounds from all 4 tables not just the main table that is irritating as hell. 5 the blue on blue color on color text is awful to read in the chat box. 5 when you click stakes in lobby and bring 2/4 and 1/3 to top of list every time i go back to lobby 10 dollar rooms r on top again and i have to click stakes again. 6 ur stack is on the left side of window not in fron of u so i forget to reload sometimes. 7 the table layout just looks awful its not nearly as easy to look at as oll version

So after playinf for 4 hours i want to go back to old software this is inferior and glitches make it unbarable.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

If I can't have PT work, I'm probably going to Bonus Whore until HG gets an update out for this hideous new SW. And I love Bodog, fwiw.

DAKOR1982:
Thanks for the link on the older version. It worked for me, all I had to do was uninstall the new version first.

I've been playing on bodog for years and I hated the first time they changed the interface, but this is even worse. Its so much more cluttered, so I dont understand this quote from a bodog rep after I emailed them.

"However, please note that all the changes on our site are directly from the requests of our players and we invite you to please inform us of what changes you are not fond of."

Directly from which players I wonder?

I just wish they would leave an option to choose between interfaces, or there was some kind of Bodog forum where players on the site could actually post their feedback and get useful comments back from developers. Thats my 2 cents.

I saved the old software that run without update.
I can send it to you...send a PM with you MSN or something.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

geez thanks for telling me now that I just paid for my license a week ago, that dogwatch doesnt work. Guess Ill go back to switching colors on the new software until I find one that doesnt make me want to puke.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

Try just uninstalling & installing the old version on the 1st thread post. I never downloaded the update, and my v2.9.051 is still working with DogWatcher. I recommend that until DogWatcher gets a new update.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

Jesus. I wish I'd seen this thread before I went off and got the new version. Now I'm gonna have to uninstall it.

Ugly as well as unusable.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

Note that after you've removed the new and re-installed the old version you have to close it down and resart it before handgrabber starts working again.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

The Check/Call Any button is totally pissing me off. I've inadvertantly hit that damn thing 5 times now that resulted in me calling an all-in bet. WTF is that button doing so close to the Check button? I swear I've had the pointer on the Check button and the Check/Call Any button gets highlighted. Total BS. I've emailed Bodog 3 times and called support on this. That button is a total joke. Who the heck even clicks the Check/Call Any button when playing No-Limit? Limit, maybe. Worthless button that is costing me money. The support person told me hit try and aim higher on the Check button to make sure I don't hit the Check/Call Any button. Gee, you think? I'm playing 300-500 hands a day for the last year and I never had that problem before. Now the buttons are right on top of each other. Grrrr.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

i'm confused -- i'm still playing on the old version.
is this supposed to be an automatic upgrade or what?? i haven't been prompted or anything...

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

lol, the software is pretty silly looking... meh idk, i don't mind it that much, it might actually be less visually tilting than the old version... slightly.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

If possible, I plan on actively avoiding the switch for as long as possible. We fears change...

It was an automatic update for about a day or two, then it was "updated" back to the old version. I guess after receiving a flood of complaints, they sent back the new version to be fixed before forcing it on their customers again.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

They should totally team up with OnGame. Nice Post.

Re: Bodog\'s new software is so awesome!
 

I wish they'd just go back to their old interface, the one where your avatar was "sitting" in a chair.

It wasn't much to look at, but it was so simple it was great.
