Yesterday I try to open my poker client and it started to repeat the same loop that it did when was under hacker`s attack. First, a message said that the software it was being updated, then the window system said that the .exe was not found, and I couldn´t access the main page. So I look for it in another browser and found a new poker client to download. All works fine, but when I tried to play a tourney I had a surprise: all the board was changed (and I don´t like it!)

< ...I got the same email too...! I guess they must have done some huge overhaul on their $h!tty software...
... < ...888poker is a pretty good site promotion-wise,...but their software absolutely sucks.... Nothing but glitch after glitch after frustrating f'ing glitch...
... < Hopefully they'll get a lot of that all cleaned up...

Nothing has changed for me in the lobby of 888poker but today i received a pop-up message after i opened the software. This is the message: tomorrow they will update the servers and for some time we can not play. We apologize and resume normal continuation soon. A normal thing but i hope this update to bring me more luck.
Today I played in a $ 3,000 freeroll ... but unfortunately I left the tournament too quickly ... I had an ace and a king, and my opponent had a jack and a king ... and eventually Street came to him .... this is very sad ... I will try today to compensate for my sadness in the $ 10,000 freeroll ... good luck to me

888 (at least in UK) is currently carrying out site maintenance and is unavailable. This has been advertised by email and pop up for several days now....looks like this follows an attack earlier in the week which resulted in players getting entry to a free $10,000 game last night. Be patient...all is not bad at 888. See what the new work provides.

I don´t get used to the new software. Right in this stage, I´m playing a too little poker so it cost me more. I miss the old buttons, the new way to show my time makes me nervous, and the software gave me a pig´s avatar! Until now, I played two tournaments and one sit and go, and the only thing that I like is the new way to bet

They are working to improve this software. I tried to login and to see if they changed something but the software is inoperative in my country in this moment. I think today they will be able to make that update and tonight to play in this poker room. I hope things will resolve well.
I tried to launch 888poker client today ... but I did not succeed ... I looked for answers on the forums .... I found the answer from 888poker support .... They said that the client would work steadily from 8:00 pm Moscow time. ... Ok .... I'll try to see what's new ... maybe something improved ... I really hope

Well from reading damosk's post above i saw he is mentioning to whatever the cause was, the players got an entry for a 10k USD freeroll. Always nice playing in a freeroll like this, especially when you manage to hit the payouts, since they are good ones Anyone cashed in big?

I return to play with the new software and I still don´t like it. I could change my avatar (a pig with glasses and galley) and I began to get used to some buttons, but not at all. The way to classify to the villains is wider because there are only colours and you may use it at your criterion, and that is good. I think that I have to pass my duel to appreciate the advantage of the changes...
yesterday, the 888Pokerpoker client was not very stable .... namely, a message window periodically appeared but that the connection is unstable ..... I understand that there may be errors in the new poker software .... and it will take some time to fix it time ... I hope that the client will work steadily in the near future

Yes pajalnick, I had the same problems. And the new software brings some annoying news. For example: a short time to be open without any move (the software shut down and you have to write the password again because there is no option to make it remembered). The good news in this year is that the wheel of fortune is a bit kindness and give me some tickets

Well logging you out after some period can be annoying indeed as you say, but the most annoying thing is when you have to reenter the password. Lots of sites are using this for quite some time, it is a security feature, but still it is annoying when you have to type your password over and over again.
Today 888Poker software works well .... At least I did not find any failures .... I hope that the 888Poker administration has fixed all the problems and protected itself against the hacker attacks .... and now it will be possible to play 888poker client no problem

888poker has not changed anything in their software after they have done this upgrade. I do not know what 888 has changed to you but it's very interesting to look in youtube. Something is weird here if their software is not universal. I know some tournaments are different or restricted but with different software is not normal.

I began to get used to this change. Today I played a $ 3000 Poker Roulette freeroll and I won my first money with this software. So, as I said, the man is a custom´s animal. In a few days, it will start to like me I began to forget what of the old software I miss...Whatever, someday, soon, you will can to try it CALICUL
