Hotpoker's been down and/or extremely unreliable for several months due to inattention on my part and unreliable networking and power at its old location. It is now served out of a data center with (hopefully) far more reliable hardware, power and networking.

Note for Netpoker players

Hotpoker is the successor to Netpoker, and many devoted Netpoker players have amassed considerable fortunes. At the moment, there is no way to move funds from Netpoker to Hotpoker, but

Hotpoker accounts are managed somewhat differently from Netpoker. The two major improvements are:

• There is one account for all of Hotpoker. You will no longer have separate accounts at the different tables.
• Usernames are unique. The juveniles will, no doubt, come up with new ways to annoy us, but they won't find it easy to masquerade as regular players.

Known bugs

• The new layout looks bad on 800x600 and smaller screens. I'm working on it.
• Fixed a bug that was causing some browsers to report 'Could not load montage of cards'. If you continue to see this, please let me know
• I may have fixed the Internet Explorer bug that resulted in an empty canvas. If you continue to see it after restarting your browser, please send me the details of your browser/OS configuration, and if possible the contents of your Java Console.
• There were several reports of a message like "Applet Toplev, can't start". I believe I have fixed at least one instance of this bug. If you continue to see it, send a note to bugs@hotpoker.com.
