  If you can't fix the no wager box in MPC - random, why not hire a one time programmer who can?

  Or better yet make positions temporary to hire . Bring in programmers to just trouble shoot the system . The ones who fix the problems get the positions and let go of the people that cant . This will let those who are already there know that the job is not a joke and that no position is guaranteed . Once they see fellow coworkers going out the door things will start happening then 

  Or just outsource all the programming to China or Japan . Send the jobs overseas why give them to people who cant do them ?

  Please, it's a pc program, every time you improve something something else messes up which happens in any program/app...there is like 1000 programmers who do nothing but work/develop windows operating systems and they were still fixing XP when they quit supporting it this year....you will never find a software that is version 1 and never updated...

  an error in one browser and OS isn't an error in others, so do you fix it for the 1 browser so the other 5-6-10 browsers start f'n up or let the user switch browsers..what might be an error of 200 people isn't for 2 million....jobs a lot tougher than one would think!.

  Nice excuse, defense for WGT. To my knowledge this bug is not browser specific and occurs between 50 to 75% of the time, one selects Random MPC game. Why can't they just look at the code in the year or so before they created the bug, when it worked all the time, to see what it is, when it worked, for all browsers (which it did) and fix it?

  hi

  do you have specific steps how to reproduce it every time? anytime we checked, we could not regularly reproduce it.

  also, does this happen to you when you host a game or only when you join a game?

  It occurs about 50 to 70% of the time when you select Random, join a MPC game. It does not occur 100% of the time, so there is no sure fire way to recreate it. But, it occurs often enough that if you select Random, MPC, and it's YOUR game and someone joins, edits clubs and is green, you will not have a wager box given to you.  And no, it obviously never occurs if you set the game up. Your solution to the problem, if you recall, was to always set up the games, but this logic is flawed, because if no one is selecting Random, to join a game, unless you invite someone specifically, you would never have an opponent.

  Just look at the programming, when you first introduced MPC and it worked all the time, and compare it to today, when it seldom works and see what the difference is?
