Some things that would be nice....

A different final table

Different Avatars

A downloadable client

Maybe something like they have where you can do a thumbs up or it would say WAY TO GO or ALL IN and LUCKBOX with little animated graphics.

Maybe a tier/leader board system where you would earn trophies or rank the better you do.

Just some ideas.. :)

A separate final table graphic might be a possibility but I have no plans to create a downloadable client. That just adds complications with few benefits. You can already change the avatars. You can also use the Emoticons Filter setting to add a thumbsup character to the chat (1F44D=:+1:, for example). There's a thousand ways to implement a leaderboard so nothing that was built-in would satisfy anyone. Better to implement your own using your web site.

Wel we have a leader board but I was referring to somethng like some poker sites use with 'trophy' & ribbon' icons say next to your name or avatar. And same with the thumbs up example, some sites have these small 'animations' that will play over or next to your name at the table when you hit a key or key combo.

Also, is there somewhere you can point me to that explains how to change the avatars and are there any places that you can get avatars from?

Thanks

You can use the "Level" field that each account has to show player's achievements. It's not a graphic but it's text that appears on when you mouse-over their avatar. You could also use the Title field in a similar manner and it can be made to appear next to their name in the chat.

The communal avatar set is controlled by the "Avatar graphic" and "Avatar count" fields in the Client Settings group on the System tab. Also see the bottom of this page:

You can also assign custom avatars to individual players without change the communal set just using the "Avatar file" field in their account settings.
