I had been playing for around 4 weeks without any major problems, sometimes the chips don't clear and I've seen the 'sitting out' message against players, but nothing that has caused me to lose chips ( apart from my own poor play !!).
However, the last 2 or 3 days, I have tried to join mini tourney tables when they are registering, and the initial window has opened, with a burgundy background, but it has not gone on to bring the table up and allow me to register. Usually this has happened after a couple of hours of uninterrupted play.
I've tried rebooting and clearing temporary internet stuff but it seems to make no difference. Walk away from the machine for an hour or 2 and everything is back to normal, mildly frustrating but nothing more. Any tips ?

Normally I would suggest checking your Flash version for upgrade, however you have listed a few elements that are out of character. The burgundy background on the tables window is a new on, usually I hear white.

Check to see what other programs are running. Depending on your environment you could have a firewall or spam blocker checking the site as a result of clearing your cache, which can take a while for each new table that is opened and checked.

The other thing is that if you leave the machine alone for a while things seem to be fine. Systems do not routinely fix themselves. Maybe you have automatic updates turned on in either the operating system or a virus scanner and a new download results in slow loading as it rechecks the site.

If this continues please give me more technical information on your environment and perhaps that will lend a clue.

Often times the easiest answer is to close the window and re-open it. Seems funny but that does make a difference as to how system resources are allocated.
