Ah, ok, I did try that, it just googles it. Maybe I need to set it to not do that and then it will execute?

If you can write something that I just need to put in the area Mavens gives me for html/js for the top area that would be great. I'd certainly tip.

Heh, sorry.  Not meaning to drown you in mumbo-jumbo there

When I point Google Chrome (technically I am using Chromium, which might actually make a difference, but I doubt it) at the Seals game-play page (after logging in and hitting "Play Now"), typing the above into my URL bar and pressing enter eliminates the top banner.  nb: I doubt it works in all other browsers due to non-standardization of the "DOM".

It's just meant to show that it's feasible to wire up code such as the above to a button somewhere to get 'er done.

I'll take a crack at coding this up using jQuery to smooth over the "DOM non-standardization" issues mentioned above -- and see if maybe I can't find a way to support getting the thing back after closing, via some kind of hover/click sequence, if I can figure that out -- and PM you the results sometime tonight.

Certainly I might not know what I'm talking about.

What does putting that in the address bar do for you? If I'm supposed to make some obvious modification to it to make it work I'm not clever enough, it just does nothing.

proof of concept: try typing this into the Chrome URL bar:

javascript:document.getElementById('top_div').style.display = 'None';document.getElementById('pmflashclient').style.top=0

The reason (theoretically, at least) you can do this is Adobe is sand-boxed; flash has to live in the embed object you frame it in or "go through channels" to get permission to go full-screen.  The best it can do to stop you from changing the container dimensions would (again, in theory if not exactly in practice) be to get in an arms race with you over control of your DOM -- basically DOSing your attempts to manipulate the DOM attributes by hooking change events (or polling unhook-able attributes) and "changing things back."  Nobody wins such a battle -- two can play at that game, but the user will just eventually find something better to do than paint trippy mouse-cursor trails into the void where their browser window is supposed to be   This is exactly what often happens when i.e., AdBlock Plus comes head-to-head with a site like The Pirate Bay that is determined to pop up some garbage windows at any cost.

I'd presume this is the same reason Google puts that "view on YouTube" button on cross-site swf embeds.  Google-hosted places are the only ones where Google can control the horizontal and the vertical, so to speak; any other site embedding their swf could be doing all kinds of silly shit to it, like plastering it over with ads (by accident or on purpose), scrunching it down into ridiculous dimensions, etc (both things I've seen happen on real websites).

FA, I think the space will be reserved no matter what fancy thing we do. The height of the top area is an option in the Poker Mavens control panel. It is not the case that the flash software just starts displaying after the last visible div.

There is probably a best-of-both-worlds solution of some kind, like, before the thing goes away a yellow div animation lingers up top stating "hover the mouse in the upper-right-hand corner of your browser window to restore the Seals-Nifty-Keen-Info-Bar", you know what I mean... and then, when it disappears, leaving a lingering 2-pixel div up there that allows one to get the bar back.  And then remembering how many times the user has seen that yellow bar in a cookie or database entry somewhere, and ceasing to nag them about it after the third time

But obv. that's a ridiculous shit-ton of javascript...  

Without the yellow bar stuff (I'm kidding about all that), leaving the two-pixels is sorta easy....  you'd still have some code to write -- you can't just instantly react to a mouse-over event by restoring the div, as this would make people go insane and have seizures and fold the nuts.  So you probably have to set a timer and poll for a couple of seconds, before you decide that they are legitimately trying to hover, and not just passing through on their way to the goatse.cx tab .

If you want it to look all fancified and beautimatized you could use jQuery easing for the transitions  .. you know what, I should just code this up and ship it to you.  Actually give me a 'lil bit and I'll do just that for you.  I'll see what I can't cobble together early this evening.

I've been working on this and I don't think it will be simple because even though I can hide the content it is a Mavens setting as to how much space is reserved. It can be changed but not on a per person basis.

So I think this is a thing the software company would need to change.

Oh! I've got a tip. click it then cntrl - until it is almost gone. That will not affect anything else on the screen and you can get it back with cntrl+ repeatedly.

Ah, I suppose that ins't much harder. The main reason it is up there is for people who don't think of going back to the Play Now, they are the same.

I usually find it easier/necessary to just close the window and get back into it via the play now button.

Yeah, I can see about that.

Do you never have to use the reload button though?

Hey, I know it's kinda part of your branding and whatnot, but is there any way you could throw some javascript in to the game page so we can "X-out" (iow get rid of by mouse-click) that little bar at the top of the game-screen?  Multi-tabling is hard enough without 6% of my screen real-estate gobbled up by a not-at-all-useful-to-me div.  I know (cause I do it every time ) that one can get rid of it by using DOM inspector thingys but it's a PITA.  FYI hiding the top div and setting the top property of the flash container (also a div, iirc) to "0" is all it takes to get rid of it.

Thanks,

We are going to have some brief downtime around 4:30am ET to hopefully fix some problems we've been having. There will be a 5am ET 1BTC freeroll.

Still having issues logging in over here

edit: after nth attempt I got in

I just paid pending cashouts.

Still having trouble, now is a good time to try to get though.

Not a huge deal, but I was looking for a small cashout this morning.  Any estimate when the site will be back uo?

heh, I was in, but then browser crashed... now no longer getting it to come up...

EDIT: I hope my AFK beats your AFK in 50 hour krill freeroll!

EDIT2: "(net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): The server refused the connection."  Is this the error everyone is getting?

This also reminds me of the point in the movie "The social network" when the website goes down and they are talking about how that even a brief interruption like this can kill the site.  Luckily, I think this time of day is not as crucial, but something to keep in mind.

Good luck getting it back online!

damn it I keep missing the jump

still trying....

We're having apache problems. It seems to work for about 15 seconds after I restart it which I'll keep doing while I investigate. If you are quick you can log in and get to the software which is stable.

edit: Up for about 3 minutes now... fingers crossed.

Well, since this was the next thing I was going to start bitching about again, I'll look.  Of hundreds of disconnects (including one with aces in the 60 BTC after which I cashed out in a ragequit), I have only seen the dialogue box indicating the client software is attempting to reconnect twice, and it didn't work either time.

Since at least some of my connect issues (though not all) are on my end, although they are generally transient spikes that instantly go away (and all my other clients immediately reconnect without problem), a functioning reconnect would be fantastic.

I'm very sorry for the recent down time.

We did make some upgrades today while we were down. Connection messages and re-connection attempts should be more robust. Please let me know if you notice improvements (or not).

Any log-in or load-up problems that may have been caused by a bad or missing sound card should be fixed now.
