For the last 3-4 days, I'm experiencing a slight delay in the graphics loading during game play. Specifically, the cards are not appearing instantly.. you can see the top of the card but it takes a second for the whole card to appear. This has never happened before but has happened in every game I've played the last few days (I've only played contest games). I did the usual computer maintenance, but that didn't help. This morning I asked (in chat) if others were noticing this problem, and there were a few players who said they did. Only one said 'no'.   Just thought I'd bring this to your attention.....    

I get similar things too with delayed cards being dealt. Mine is on regular play. It usually only happens when I have being playing a long time. I think temp files, junk, and cookies build up in the computer as the game is played. Once the usual maintenance is done, the games are usually OK after the computer is restarted.

That's the first thing that occurred to me, so I did do the usual cleaning out of cache, restart etc., but the problem didn't go away... and it's consistant thruout play, not just after a long time. Also, no other games that I play on other sites are affected, which leads me to believe this site is having issues - possibly related to upgrades/changes in progress....

This is the first I've heard of this problem... no change on the site, so I'm not sure what could be causing it.Any changes on your system, especially with regard to graphics card drivers, or something along those lines? Have you tried in more than one browser?

Nope, no system changes at all and I haven't tried other browsers (I use Chrome).   It's not a major issue as the game still plays fine... just a minor graphics thing I can live with. Probably only noticed because of the normally exceptional graphics on this site.   :-)

Thanks for the tip, billyjoe. I checked my pc's performance stats, and memory appears to be good. I'm just not going to worry about this little glitch... at this point, it's a very minor issue.
