Full Tilt Problems
Yesterday, Full Tilt did a system upgrade where the servers were down for a period. It then provided a new version of the application. I played there fine yesterday. Today, it is nothing but problems.
What is happening with both SnG and Tournaments is that the application crashes forcing it being shut down and then reloaded. This has been happening at the very start and goes one sequentially for a number of hands. It then start working normally.
There have been other strangeness at the start. Setting up the tables takes much long than normal. It can put up a “Rebalancing the Table” window and that can hang. The stack amounts in one of them was screwed up.
A minor annoyance in one yesterday was getting moved a lot in the first series of hands. I had 4-6 table moves before the first blind change.
Anybody else experiencing strangeness there?

Here at work, when there are “upgrades,” we usually wait. For example, if you read PDFs, you need Adobe reader. When it tells us it’s time to upgrade to version 9.0 or whatever, we say no. Later (presumably after they get the bugs out), we say yes.
I don’t do that (at home) for poker sites, but maybe I should.
Not a bad idea to evaluate before accepting updates. Sadly, the poker sites with their heightened security most often force us to download their latest and greatest.
The number of updates they pump out is also annoying. Often, that revolves around marketing decision instead of something to benefit the players.
