[tadghy_pimp]

hi all I,m a new player and i was just wondering why can,t i play on the computer in work i do shift work so i get a nice break each day but when i log in all that will come up is the list of chip leaders any ideas?????

Maybe it's something to do with the settin' on your work computer, they might have restricted what you can do online. I've never had any problems, play all day long without any hassle.

Probably the firewall at your place of work is blocking you. I have the same problem

on the popup page there is a url just copy and paste it then send it to your work comp via email then when you get to work open your email click on the link and you should get in hope you dont get fired for playing poker at work if you do its not my fault lol

you should download a portable version of firefox to a pen drive then load firefox from that drive and run it, this is what i do. For me when i use firefox the pop up that would noramly be loaded is loaded in the place of the chip leader thingy. Try it, see if it works for you

does the url hold the login details in it? cause if not how will the person be logged in? cause cookies wouldn't be set cause you are skipping the log in procedure... it coul;d be done your way i guess but it might be a pain... i say try several different ways and see what works

if you have the new version of EI (7.0) it does have the login info embedded

Most in house works computers, specially in profile companies and jobs, have restrictions regarding internet access sites tadghy, usually used by those who have their own IT programme planners...cant have the workers having a bit of leisure fun utilising company time playing games is the usual management cry lol...Jacky49

A good solution would be a downloadable version of the flash program that connects to the severs, I do not know if 'lava would be up for this though, what do the mods think? i mean it would be nice to have a client type software download that we could run to save us coming to the site if we just wanted to play acouple of hands or didn't want to go onto the forum, of course it would need to have a link to the forum in it , but i don't no if lava wants or has the time to make it...
