poker tracker 3 - hud only displaying table stats

So I picked up poker tracker 3, my problem is the hud is only displaying stats for the table I am sitting at.

This mainly applies to my stats as I haven't seen a lot of repeat people, but I have noticed in MTT that the stats start over when I switch tables, even if someone is at that table I have seen before.
This is normal
I'll have two tables running, whatever game, and even for my stats it starts over. So I'll have a good run of cards and a VP$P of 40 of table one and a bad run of cards and a VP$P of 18 on table 2. Why doesn't the software give me data based on my total history instead of just that one table?
So that you can get some idea of how you are running this session, and how others percieve you. (you could configure it differently) but thats the default.
Even at the start of a brand new table its taking 15 hands (where I have it set to start displaying stats) for my own stats, and I've got 2500+ hands in my database.

Is this normal? I couldn't find a setting for it anywhere. I realize that having table specific data is nice as people change styles or have bad runs, but it would be nice to have the option of seeing someones historical data as well.
It normally shows your opponents historical data, not your own (unless you have been playing around with the display current level option)
I also realize I can see this in the actual poker tracker 3 interface, but it would nice to get it into the hud too.

While I'm on the subject, why does the hud pop up every time in a different position? I've set it all up the way I like it, save the layout, and the next table that pops up all the names are out of order again. I usually just move my seat (rotate the table) to make up for it, but its kind of a pain in the butt when I've got 4 tables open and every one I'm sitting in a different place.
You have to let PT3 know where your prefered seat is. This is done in the conficuration tab for each site (next to the 'begin import' button)
I'm using this on FTP btw.

For your own stats, the HUD always displays only the current stats for the table you're sitting at. This is more valuable than seeing your overall stats - if you normally run 18/16, great, you know that, you don't need the HUD to tell you that. But if you're running 40/32 at one table and 7/5 at another, it's good to know what image you've got at those tables.

There are ways to configure the HUD to show your stats from the first hand you're dealt at the current table, but some of the default layouts won't show anything for the first several hands. The rationale is that there isn't anything significant you can tell about someone based on the first several hands.

IN PT3 just set the min number of hands required to 1

Villain stats show for all hands in the db, MTT vs. cash (i.e., if you play someone in an MTT, the stats will only be for MTT hands and vice versa). You can also configure the HUD to only display stats for villain at the current limit for cash - the rationale is that some people play differently at different limits.

I'm not sure what's up w saving the table layout, but do you have a preferred seat configured? That may be the problem, not sure.
