    Almost everyone has connection issues but all you do is blame it on our internet or our computers etc when the real problem is bugs in the site and your refusal to change the disqualification count from 3 to 4 or 5. Better than 50% or my alt matched end up with one team or the other losing because of 3 disconnections. Its either next hole/shot not loading or a blue screen or the infamous white screen !.......I have a great idea either fix the friggin site or change the disconnects to something we can all live with and play our matches. You have stated before your reason to keep it at 3 to control game quitters but we all know its just a lame excuse and you really don't give a crap as long as the money keeps flowing.

    Sorry to bother you bro, but the fix must be you, either way.

    Yep. Let's not forget about credits lost on ball usage.

    Wrong. It's a game error that's causing what the OP is talking about, without question. It started with the update that introduced the reverse green view when loading the next hole and that was a while ago.

    That's not the point Paul was making.

    I believe he means that the fix is with us all and  unfortunately that fix is;

    put up with it, or don't.

    Yep, sad, but, true. We've all been around long enough to remember the "IE Typing Glitch", which never was addressed, an' that's been years ( or "soon" in WGT time ). Unless it causes a catastrophic event in the money flow, it falls on deaf ears. It has been stated that "disconnection issues are our #1 priority", which means it has been costing them money, but, apparently not enough, or, they are simply incapable of isolating the problem, and fixing it.

    Doc :(

    That just about hit's the nail right on the head!!!

    I have been saying for a long time now, they are making so many stupid updates that the people working for them now do not know the technical lay-out of the programming to  be able to do anything about it..

    It's the same world wide, if you do one thing it has a detrimental effect on something else which has another detrimental effect  else-where etc, etc, etc..........

    I, like many millions of others, use the internet on almost a daily basis for a variety of purposes I use many sites that have so many hits in a day it would dwarf any thing WGT experiences. I use Facebook, on line banking, shop at Amazon, use news sites like CNN, YouTube, etc.etc. In fact YouTube and Facebook are #'s 2 and 3 in the world for daily hits being only topped by Google. For sure on occasion their may be a problem with a site or you may try to access the site and may get a message like "this site is down for maintenance " but always they return in very short order. Sometimes their are errors in their code that will cause a problem, but be assured that they will have a very quick fix. Most importantly, and I think this is key, I have  never gotten blamed for their sites operation or coding errors. Never have I seen a message to the site users telling them to clear their caches, upgrade their computers, delete their browser histories and cookies.

    WGT, it appears, has a different approach than the rest of the worlds internet sites for dealing with the sites own problems. I haven't yet figured out what it is, but the problems are real and long standing...." I don't think that can be argued"

    So, play well all when you don't get blue screened, or timed out.
