Can you stop the SnG lobbies jumping about?

Just curious, when I'm looking through the scroll-down lists for a game to play (usually a Sit n Go) the list bounces about so much that its hard to lock n to one and double click to open the lobby. I know its because there are hundreds of games filling every minute, and they disappear then get replaced, but its a pain! Ok, so it only takes an extra ten seconds to get into a game...but thats ten seconds i'll never get back! lol
Now I think about it, this may be a dumb question after all.
Is there a way to lock it though? So it scrolls smoothly I mean. Cheers all.

You don't mention which site ... as most sites have different methods of displaying their lobbies.

As a general rule, you can either filter out the SnG's (if you don't play them) or limit the stakes you want to play, which will minimize the changes.

Other than that, new items keep posting. If it's that bad and the 10 seconds is that critical, change to a smaller site where there's less traffic and they won't change that often. Then waiting 5 minutes for the SnG to start will have to be factored into your life's scheduling ... ....

lol, ok Nick fair point.
Course the time doesn't matter, its just a bit annoying!
I have turned on filters now though and its a lot better. Cheers.

face palm myself here...this has been annoying to me as well [constantly opening the lobby for the wrong tourney as things jump about (on FT especially)] and never considered filtering out the games I wouldn't be interested in anyway. good tip

Yeah the filter does help a little . Sites that have a lot people it is hard to stop.
