I figured I'd play a 6 man $2.00 double up at partypoker, the game was into about the 3rd or 4th hand,( at the same time i'm playing another tourney)so I popped away for a second to fold my hand in my other game, when I came back 2 players had disappeared, they didn't lose a hand and were eliminated, they just were gone, but still playing, I don't know how to take a screen shot, so I took a picture with my camera, when I retrieve the picture with my laptop, I will post a copy here.

Taking a screenshot is way too easy. Just hit the PrtSc key whenever you like. Its is usually located above the backspace button. After that you need to pen Paint and paste the screenshot where you can save it in the format you like.

It might be that they swap them to other tables when breaking up the tables but according to you this does not seem to be the case, so my guess would be a software glitch on their end and both players got disconnected or something along the line. Anyway they are renowned for these bugs, so you might have to think about moving out of there because you never know if that will happens to you.
Their software have not been updated for a while. Anyway good luck and have fun there if playing!

Must be their software. it happened again today, playing a 6 player sit n go again and 3 of the players disappeared , and it's kinda of weird trying to play when you can't see what the players are betting. I'll see if i can upload it to utube , i took a 4 min video. it's funny to watch, when they win a pot , the chips come to me, but i actually don't get the chips, they just look that way, and you can see their cards being dealt to them but the cards disappear also.

It's funny how they all over at Party Poker have NO CLUE that their software has glitches... Not the front line telephone answerers,....not the supervisors,....NOT EVEN the nerds in the IT department...
I sent them 3 videos of how their scroller keeps scrolling up and down and up and down and up and down....etc... and does so after you let off.... and half the time it blues out all the tourneys on the way... THEN when you pull the mouse off the client or tourney lobby.... THE CURSOR stops being able to move around like there's some sort of weird VIRUS in your computer... I was on the phone with the guy who said there were NO glitches,...and when he opened my emails with pics and vids....he was speechless...
THEN i told him RIGHT at that moment, they had 9,000 players logged on,...and PokerStars 89,000 logged on... THEN I asked him if he had any idea why that is....?

Yeah that scrolling behavior is really annoying, and has survived a number of updates. But I'm used to it by now...

Indeed.
I think the organisation as a whole is okay, but they don't seem to be able to get a handle on their software development. It sounds like years of bad software development practices, resulted in over complicated software, that can only be maintained by the few individuals that created it. They've painted themselves into a corner, where no one can replace those few individuals, and starting from scratch is too expensive, and has a risk of the same thing happening all over again.
