tbh, I was a bit shocked at one of your first responses suggesting that the new graphics weren't so bad. (LOL).
The thing is... THEY ARE BAD... and they are definitely inferior to the old ones. (except what? you can throw a beer at another player? what?).
The visual display is now inferior to every other site I play on.... ESPECIALLY while trying to play on many tables (mtt's).
From a business perspective, it just seems EXTREMELY stupid. (not to mention insulting to the customers.... the email I received from customer support today was pathetic)
PokerOrifice - came back and reply to this post also for what it is worth!
What happened to me was when the Aurora change was initially made, I now believe I had not logged out of PS. So, even though the graphics had altered, I still had the option button regarding Aurora and once swtiched off, the design was inferior but the page still lush if you will.
I then logged off. When I played again, the graphics had degraded dreadfully and I now had lost the option button. However, most graphics were still showing in a rounded manner.
Then decided to move play back to a superior laptop which then laughably turned out to be less compatible with Aurora so all degraded further with all graphics squared off and crude.
In fact I just commented on hearing EPT Prague having to go online via PokerStars, I could not imagine what it would be like to be playing in one of the most prestigious tours with these graphics.
