  Right Click Zoom Feature - We got complaints that players games were being frozen or not loading correctly.  We have been investigating the issue and what we found is if a player used specific buttons on the right click that, the game could be stalled manually and players kicked out.  So we got rid of all the flash features that you were able to access via right clicking.

  
  
  this sounds like it would be the play/rewind/ff,
  has NOTHING to do with ZOOM.
  
  for leadbetter sake, give us our zooming back

  You are right had to do with the play, rewind, and ff options.  But since those are all connected on the flash options when we removed them we removed everything.  If there is a way to put back just zoom we will but until we can figure out if that is even possible they will all remain off the right click.

  we find a major cheat and I am very serious that this was a major cheat that caused a lot of issues and loss of credits.  We find it and fix it to make the game fairer for players and now we get complaints about zoom?

  Needless to say, the zoom just became a casualty of war. Nice fix on the cheat, whatever it was.

  On a sadder note, now we won't be able to see the mapping errors on replays of putts that go right through the pin.  :-D

  firefox has an add-on that works great

  Mousezoom

  chrome as a similar one

  zoomwheel

  and I'm guessing all other browsers do also , Google is our friend

  If there is a way to put the zoom feature back without opening up the cheat feature we will try and do it.

  ty, that's all we ask :)
  since it felt a bit like throwing out the baby with the bath water.

  here here...glad to know WGT are doing something to stay one step ahead....n1.

  My guess is that the extension won't work for the standalone client.

  also if you could ask them to set the loop to be off by default
  that would be great, since it's still on, only now
  players can't turn it off (I use the few seconds I have
  while I'm in loading screen to do that real quick, but most ppl won't)

  it doesn't matter anyway since zooming pixels is pointless,
  when you zoom the flash, you zoom vectors not pixels,
  so it stays clear and sharp no matter how much you zoom in
  (talking about the flash objects like ball and grid, not the course photos).

  I just ran out of Calloway l35 balls in the 9th hole of an 18 hole tournament. Where the hell did the last ball feature go? You said the balls would be the same as those in your bag, and no changes needed.

  Starter balls for the back nine?  I want the last ball option back.
