That is intended behavior. The rebuy period ends when the level ends. It's only the Add-On period that can ride with the break because it runs after the last rebuy period ends.

This setting is not holding to the "Yes" position if you close down and restart the Pro edition. I'll fix that in the next update but beware of it until then.

Does this mean if a player busts in the last hand of the rebuy level, and the level clock expires during that hand, that he cannot rebuy? Or does it pause the start of the next level and still allow him to rebuy? (Would be nice if it allowed him to rebuy if busting during the last hand of the rebuy period, even if he is technically in the next level, although I suspect that would require some pretty fancy programming).

Rebuys are sync'd to the tournament clock, not the table hands. So it's over when it's over. (<--- WRONG! Edit: 2020-4-26)

thx Kent for the update and all the help you've given us (and me personally). This poker software has really helped facilitate connection between the people in our town.

In my tradition of noob questions: .

when I update the new software and log on to my server it still says "not secure"... is that b/c the cloud server I use is not secure?

please disregard the question (but not the sentiments).

Saw that it's a little more involved than I thought.

Chrome now labels all regular (unencrypted) http links as "Not Secure". You need an SSL cert for your domain name to make an https connection. If you have a domain name for your site, you can get an SSL cert for about $9 per year by following the instructions here:

Tonight I did my first MTT, and at the end of the last rebuy level a message came up in the middle of the hand saying something to effect that the rebuy period would end when the hand in play at the other table ended. Is this a change so that you can still rebuy at the end of the hand, or what did that message mean? (I can't find it in any logs, not sure if I have system messages saved in the events).

Apparently I forgot how my own software works. Disregard my previous comment. The rebuy period is over when the hand completes at all tables and the tables that finish first will pause until then. It's been awhile since I tested that.

It may not work that way in Lite... Before I upgraded I experienced where the busted player was not given an opportunity to rebuy on the last hand, but it seems that Pro does give players that opportunity.
