[QUOTE="Craig Grannell, post: 45323, member: 1322"] @MadScience2006: If that works. I couldn't get the new Star Trek table into portrait at all. With older tables, I could get them into portrait by starting the table, then twisting it back and forth a couple of times. The entire decision boggles the mind. The front-end interface was pretty poor anyway, and so I was glad when I read on this forum that it was being reworked. But this current effort is almost akin to a sick joke, turning something that was slow, buggy and inefficient into something that's borderline unusable, slow, buggy and inefficient. To some extent, I think these guys are trying too hard to be clever. Animation (which stutters)! Music (which usually plays the wrong thing for whatever table you've selected)! Gestures (which become annoyingly tiresome when you've bought [i]every single table[/i] and have to swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe…)! I don't think they should necessarily be going for Google Maps-style simplicity, but there's got to be a better way for people to access their tables than this botched animated mess. This kind of thing wouldn't usually bother me, but this isn't some 69p app that people have downloaded and can easily discard; it's an investment, and something many people have spent a reasonable sum of cash on and many hours playing.
