  Had an 18" tap in and didn't check, and it was on the green, not the fringe, it wasn't until after l'd hit that l noticed 150, as l say my fault for not checking!

  It gave you the 150 scale, 18" from cup! FFS, no wonder you were upset.

  We… (you and I) are customers

  Unfortunately, that is where you are wrong sir.  I agree it's how I feel & how I believe we should be seen, but it's just not the case.  In the eyes of wgt, we are simply beta testers as stated in the T & C.

  NO Mr. Hyena64 it is you who is wrong.  If they are selling me something and accepting money for said objects, then I become a customer of theirs.  I have no problem with them selling me products and me buying their products.  I want them to make money…  but you CANNOT say that you are not a customer of theirs unless you’ve never bought anything from them.  If we were simply beta testers then no money would be involved.

  Doesn't this unanswered question come into the debate?

  The last two games I got this message... "There has been an error with the game... Please close this window and try again later." The LAST game, I got kicked out 3 times. When I came back the last time it said I couldn't continue because I had quit 3 times. NO I never quit the game. The game quit me... 3 times!

  That "UNEXPECTED ERROR" disconnect issue has been here for at least as long as I have (a mere 3+ months), and probably much longer. Knowing my system and FIOS internet connection are fine, it seems to me that the problem is either an outright bug, or simply poorly-written communications code that isn't robust enough to handle the occasional dropped packet, or packets received out-of-order.

  To WGT: If you haven't already realized the following, it may be of some help, in the event that you actually have anyone there who is capable of, and who is tasked or permitted to fix this glitch-- The majority of these "UNEXPECTED ERROR" disconnects (at least 95% in my experience) occur immediately following a view change from one player to another, including mid-hole and between-holes player view changes. They never seem (to me) to occur during view changes associated with the motion of a ball in play. The new view will appear for a fraction of a second, before the error screen comes up. Perhaps the bug is somehow associated with the fade-out/fade-in effect?

  How come some people get lots of these error messages and others don't? Surely it must have something to with a players equipment or location or surely everybody would get the same amount. Serious question.

  OK back to the dang ..PUTTER default on fringe deal .. 1st just wondering ... was that what got ya ALL worked up to write this thread in the 1st place ??  2nd,  i been keeping up pretty good here for the last couple of years...&,, i have seen others b*tch about the same thing after they forgot to change it...BUT .. NO where have i seen WGT say ... that it was a BUG or had any intention of changing it ....can u show me where you seen this was supposed to be done ??   i will gladly apologize 

  so..it is what it is ... deal with it ...
