How to determine sitters in FTP tourneys?

Sorry, probably been over this before but I am beyond confused. First of all, let me say hello, it's great to be back: I recently returned from a nine month hiatus, and another six months before that brief return, and FTP has changed quite a lot! I've a basic idea how to work the lobby, as well as the hand replayer, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to determine if someone is sitting out or playing! I remember you used to be able to tell when you looked at the previous hand, as it would list the status of each player, but that doesn't seem to exist any more. Please help? Thanks!

Unless someone else knows a different way you just have to watch if they are quickly folding their hands even in the small blind and the BB with a raise they are very likely to be sitting out.

In the FTP hand replayer, the previous hand number is shown at the top left corner of the table window. Click that number to show the hand and look for the "(Sitting Out)" label.

Unfortunately since FTP took away HH's on observed tables, this only works at tables at which you are seated.

Perfect, thank you so much!

Once I find a sitter I will mark them with the blue note tag just in case I don't notice the name right away if I'm multitabling.

press the Play button last hand view.

I tried something that someone suggested on the thread I started. He said to go to last hand and push play. When it is finished find the rewind button, it will show all who are sitting out.
I found this to be the easiest way.

If your chat is set up it will tell you when they are disconnected and when they reconnect. Like the way poker stars has right on the icon.

Thanks for the info I was wondering myself I used to do last hand also.

Look at the hand history, and its not unfortunate that observers don't get to save hand histories its good.

Just pay attention at the table. Sitters insta-fold even faster than the "fold" check-box.

Also doesn't say 'fold' when they fold the hand.

Yup, that's about it.

Ah I didn't notice that sitters don't say 'fold', that's pretty useful. Appreciate all the helpful advice, didn't realize it was such a 'big' issue hahah

With the 02.02 FT update it is now more obvious...in the HH instead of a chip stack amt, it now shows 'sitting out' (which I'm really liking).
