No problems other than with the cards, of course. The issue with the leaders score going white is still there.
I knew it wasn't going to be my day on single line when the queen of clubs wouldn't fill the royal.
Man, how I wanted that nifty Ball Cap.
 

First time I've had a real problem.  I've played in all three contests going on now and have timed out in each of them.  The first two, I didn't lose my score (unfortunately) but I haven't checked the third one.

Three timeouts during single line in 300 hands.  Why in the heck couldn't you leave bugs in it and let it wipe the accumulated scores!!!!!   Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky in the unlimited play and make a comeback.

I started playing the 50-play and didn't get many hands in when IE shut down.  I don't know if it was my computer or the program.

I've had IE7 shut down many times. It always mentions Flash as the problem. 

WM,  The problem with the timeouts is definitely restricted to just the CONTESTS.  I've played thousands of hands of single line in non-contest play and never had a time out.  That includes this morning.  However, this morning I had four timeouts playing triple play in the contest.  Things go as usual then the timeout occurs and instantly, I'm kicked to the gray screen telling you about the timeout (457 error I think it was).  There is no pause during play before the timeout...just wham bam!

MikeA, I've noticed the exact opposite.  I do nothing but play full tilt in those contests, and I've never had a timeout.  I had thought it was because there was less info about other players' scores going back and forth, and that my slow link was able to keep up.
 
The last time I jumped uninvited into a timeout discussion was when this all started, with faygo's timeouts.  Up until then I hadn't had any problems.  That was a JINX and after that I began having all kinds of problems myself.  Hope the same thing doesn't happen this time, with the contests.
 
 

It's a bit crazy CD.  I've never had a timeout in regular play and as you know, I play a LOT on the single line.  But I had timeouts in all three contests and still am having them (at least this morning before 9am CDT) on the triple play contest.

I too, have been getting consistent timeouts in the contests...
