Rest Clock not closing after a break

MAXALLY

I am probably the only one who has come across this but.....

I was playing in the super 6 Freeroll on 24 April, 2010 and made the 1st break (shock, I know!)
I minimised my table while catching up with the latest news on the forum. When the 5 min break was completed I then restored my screen view of the table. The rest clock was still in the middle of the screen and hence could not see ANY cards on the flop.
I am so glad this was on Sky Poker as a VERY VERY nice player by the name of TVSPICE kept me informed of the flop cards I could not see via the chat box. I am not sure if that would happen on any other site so a BIG THANK YOU to TVSPICE for doing that. I gave it another 5 mins or so but in the end I had to exit the table and reload it which when the blinds where high could of been costly.

Anyway, is there any chance of moving this clock to a neutral area or even having the option to close it/move to chat box or how about this suggestion.....put it over the hot o meter!!?

Hi Maxally,

Thanks for raising this issue, our technical team have come up with a solution to this which is currently being tested. It seems to be a very rare occurrance, i'd be surprised if you personally ever saw this again.

It'll be added to our next poker release in a couple of weeks time.

Thanks again

Adam

TY Adam (and Rich).

ckd

 ive had this several times  it you put your mouse over the clock and click it it goes away

 same goes with when a game starts click it goes away but does come back at start of games time the game starts then stays away

sedgley58

it hasn't been fixed, i had it also tonight in a bounty, and the timer was going upwards instead of down, got fed up and went all in as all i could see was the 1st flop card

and i did click on it, about 100 times, and no it didn't go away

ige

had exact same problem as sedgley about month ago was told to log out n back in again and would be fine,told customer services i did not wish to continue with percentage of my stack missing as was was a bh, they refunded me straight away.only had that problem once in about 18 months on here so all good.

S-Kamalot

had similar thing happen recently with the rotate seat thingy wouldnt close and couldnt see cards

yet another annoying prob to mess with game play...
