  On a different note is anybody else having a black box appear in the middle of the screen where the ad was,making you stop your game close browser and restart which takes time and not knowing if the other players are going to wait,it happened about 4 times in the last week.

  I actually play this game every day, rather than troll the forums looking for juicy tidbits to chime in on.  Remember that anyone can check your activity and see 15-20 posts per day on various topics, and no actual games played.  Pathetic troll, shut up so the overworked moderators can hear our issues without the steady drumbeat of your moronic drivel.

  You're doing it wrong. Keep looking for other ways, perhaps you find them in the last place you look.

  This guy and others have legitimate gripes about the clearly currently flawed system.

  Sending tedious bug reports is tedious.

  And without them, wgt can't get things fixed as easily & quickly, so the legitimate gripes continue.  I'm doing nothing wrong. It's those (including you apparently) who simply gripe & do nothing that wgt asks them to help them correct these issues that are doing wrong.

  And since the last place I'd look for other ways to be helpful is you, why don't you enlighten me Beefster?

  Normal online games with "thousands or millions" of players don't stay in beta for 5 years charging them money to make them miserable with glitchy, not ready for prime time features.

  They run a "test or beta" server, parallel to the current non-beta game. That's where they put in changes to test and beta. There are players who ENJOY testing changes out and work feverishly (for free) to find exploits and bugs, which they take great pride in finding and reporting. Such games even have a dedicated sub forum to discuss such changes.

  Then when a feature is rolled out it actually works, thus sparing the larger community from undue burden and hassle.

  As far as gaming communities go, WGT's general population is one of , if not  the most technically inept that I have ever seen in 20+ years of online gaming. I mean, this game is played in a web browser!

  People don't pay money to to have game crashes or disconnect just to take screen shots and fill out "bug reports" . They expect it to work. Is that too much to ask?

  I could point you to a dictionary for the definition of "help" yet I won't. Or you can show me where helping is defined as blaming the reporter of a problem for the problem.

  Also players make new threads on the same subject because they want to be heard by the powers that be. They don't want get lost in 100 reply thread where the same non-staff is telling 50 people to fill bug reports or get called stupid because they had a buggy feature thrust upon them.

  Maybe if the actual Staff (keyword) made an official thread and then actually replied to the posters, there wouldn't be so many "stupid crybabies" making redundant threads.

  Calling posters who are reporting problems "daft" is NOT helping, in any way shape or form.

  This would free up time for self appointed "volunteer helper forum police" to find things they lost, such as the definition of words they misunderstand.

  Are you having trouble with your reading skills?  He states clearly that the game had an error.  That is NOT the same as quitting.  I keep seeing you reply to these threads concerning completion percentage and I'm starting to wonder if you're just a troublemaker, or a WGT bootlicker.  Seriously though, if this problem is not affecting you, maybe you can keep your worthless opinions to yourself while the rest of us provide meaningful (and solicited, btw) feedback as Beta testers of this software.

  When you got the error message, did you close the browser & go back in? You should have been able to complete the game if you did. If it wouldn't let you, email wgt with details. If you didn't go back in & attempt to finish, then even though it was an error that kicked you out, you did quit in the end.

   I have been reading some of the posts and find some to be repitisous and insignificant.

  First of all there is a major problem with wgt By removing the end game for us in the menu it was a very big mistake on their part. We now have to end our game completely by closing it and then we have to wait five minutes to see if the player who decided to quit on us will return.

  The applcation on this program should remain with the end game in the menu, with our option only. In this manner the other players can contiue their game with out this five minute wait period and not be forced to quit your game because another player wanted to quit the game often without even any mention of him/her planning to quit. This is very bad and sometme also showing poor sportsmanship. I have had players play to the 9th or 18th hole on the Green and then take a driver and blast the ball out of bounds and end the game causing an error because they were about to lose, which caused the game to end and both players lost and can't move forward. Palyers of this kind we don't need on this web site. 

  Golf is a very sycoligical Game and after a five minute wait period you lose your thoughts and also can lose the game stopping you from advancing to another level I don't believe this will be the way to the success of this web site, eventually they will lose very many players who really enjoy this site

  Anyhow, this my opinion and I recommend wgt put back the end game in the menu as it was before and if more players would complain about the present situation, just Maybe less talk and more action will be done on their behalf

  Good luck, have a great day.......................................
