Today I’m launching the new poker tables which will fix chat.  These are not the final design for the new tables, as I’m working on something that better fits with the Poker Underworld theme, however these tables do fix the chat issue, and they offer quite a few upgrades over the old tables.

You can try them out now by changing the dropdown on the lobby to say New Tables instead of Classic Tables.  If you have any issues, you can easily switch back to the classic tables.  One unfortunate negative with these new tables is that your avatars are now being stretched.  To fix this, I suggest that you upload your avatars again so that they look nicer.

Once the new tables are ready, I will send out a Poker Underworld newsletter for the first time, inviting old players back and announcing the new changes.  Included with these changes will be a balance reset, and the start of the Poker Underworld hall of fame and a monthly prize.

I appreciate your patience, for those who have stuck around.  Poker Underworld is now approaching its 4 year anniversary.  It is a site that does not make money, but was built out of a love of going all in.

Update: I am working on the issue with the missing avatars.

Update 2: Most avatars have now been restored, although in some cases you may have been restored to an older avatar.  Please upload new avatars if you are having issues.
