Yahoo! has just released their own DVR software called Yahoo! Go, a re-branded version of recently acquired DVR software Meedio.ADVERTISEMENTYahoo! Go has lots of cool features that should help attract new users, including a very cool looking integration with Flickr and other Yahoo! services like LAUNCHcast radio. Of course, the big news is the DVR aspect of the software, which requires that you have a capture card installed on your computer.

Yahoo! Pool update 2

Hello Yahoo! Pool fans

Yahoo! makes surprised moves at 2006 and after this latest update it started to effects our gaming.

I try to collect all these new changes below

You must click on the room loading window

Cloth color change

Cue ball shadow change

If you don’t remember how was it before see old cue ball shadow

- If you just log in to any lounge you must hit two times at some buttons to do what it must, for example if you wanna open options window you must click twice , if you open a table you must hit twice to sit button

i was mentioned about the advertisement attack at my other post about Yahoo Pool update now the thing i scared is in town.

- Ads at lobby refreshes after a while and if you are trying to type something at that moment you will see you didn’t type anything after it refreshes, you will see what you did type before it refreshes GRRRRR this is also very annoying so we must always check what we typed before hit enter.
- What about ads at our tables ? I can understand that Yahoo presents all of games free to us but they also need money to keep it free BUT shouldn’t be with effecting our games.

New style make us hit ads by accident during game , this is also means we visit advertisers sites without we want., I personally wanna visit an advertiser if i really wonder about it and most important i do visit them when i want, not the hell during in a 5 second move game .

See the screenshot below , see if the cue ball is up around the table and try to make that shot .Duh did you realize that after this upgrade cue stick goes under the advertisement ? so if you wanna catch the cue (stick) in fast timer games guess what will happen GRRRRRR

Head ads kills your cue

- As last for now which it was same after the last Yahoo Pool update ( i was lazy to update my previous post) we have no more information at our tables which i was calling it table information area.Now all info shown at the top of game table chat area.( for example : ball in hand.)

Information area changed

Well this are the changes yet i can see i will add if i can meet new ones but i would appreciate if you post the problems /screenshots here which i couldn’t see yet.

Please post your ideas also

UPDATE

Cue ball shadow changed to dotted green
