FT Software Boggle
 

When I double click Full Tilt to sign on, the FT pop up shows up on the bottom of my monitor (all I can see is the top header).

The program is completely nonresponsive. It is just stuck there. I have tried restarting my computer, reinstalling FT, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Edit: when I click on the little bit of the software that is visible on my monitor, it goes "bing, bing" every time I click?

this happened to me before also. It happens bc the last time you used FTP, that's where you left the lobby. From now on before you close FTP make sure you have the lobby compeletely visible and then open a table and close it to 'pin' the lobby in that spot. Then close the lobby and you'll be fine when it opens again.

To fix this now, open FTP and just type in your sn, hit tab then type your pw, hit enter. Then hit enter again to kill the pop up. Drag the lobby up and you're good to go.

I have this problem with some other programs too, where I'll be playing a dual monitor setup, leave a program on my extra monitor, then leave for vacation with just a laptop. Any idea on how to get my computer to forget where I last left a program window? Also, it seems that it's stuck with remembering the program in this certain spot, when I move it onto my laptop screen, close, and reopen it, it keeps popping up in nomansland which is annoying to no end.

the image didn't work for me, just went to imageshack homepage.

I would guess this is the announcment of the day hidden off screen. I would select the program, then press enter. this should close the box and let you move the app?

If that doesn't work rightclick the ftp on the start menu and choose move. then move it using the cursor keys without moving the mouse.

did this help?

If you kill the feed to the other screen (right click desktop --> properties --> settings tab ---> right click the monitor ---> unclick attached) everything should open right on your laptops monitor.

I have the same problem if I use Full Tilt on Parallels on my MacBook.

Under OS X it doesn't open off screen like that. It reverts to on screen.

I can login no problem. I just can't get FT to move. I checked the task manager and the program is fine. FWIW, FT is on my primary monitor. When I try to right click on Full Tilt in the task bar, nothing happens (no options appear). I sent FT an email, but doubt they will be of help.

Steel,

Some silly dialog is stopping you from interacting with the FT lobby.

Why they use modal dialogs for login, announcements etc. is beyond me [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]. And then to not check they will appear on-screen [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img].

If this is what is causing your trouble, you could try this script I just made (well, copied out of my resizer code)...

It will move all dialogs to top/left (0,0).

MoveFTDialogs.ahk
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
#NoEnv
#Persistent
#SingleInstance, Force
SendMode Input


SetTimer, MoveDialogs, 1000
return

MoveDialogs:
WinGet, pid, pid, ahk_class FTCLobby

WinGet, idlist, list, ahk_pid%pid% ahk_class #32770
Loop, %idlist%
{
id := idlist%A_Index%
;WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On, ahk_id%id%
WinGetPos, x, y, , , ahk_id%id%
if (x != 0 || y != 0)
{
WinMove, ahk_id%id%, , 0,0
}
}
return
</pre><hr />

Hopefully this helps you,

dave.

Sweet Dave.... the script did the trick.
