Now in 2012, every other forum post, every day relates to technical issues , for sure you might not get to see all of them as a browser , because sky like to close these threads quickly , before deleting , and forum banning the members who create them . Sky continue to deny that any problems exist in the main with their software, and even go as far as to say noone else has reported any issues , when the forum posts consistently provide evidence to the contrary. I very rarely play the site these days , and would recommend anyone thinking of giving it a go , to deposit very little and be prepared for the onslaught of tech problems .

Hi Dobie, welcome to the forum
Yes I don't think any of us here at 'talksportforums' play there anymore.. Most play either on Ladbrokes or Black Belt Poker on the ipoker' skin ~ There's more to it outside what your saying, beyond the technical issues ~
From what i've been hearing (I still have friends at that site) Claire Cook (mother hen) has been asked to leave/resign ? That's a long story, that had something to do with a fall out between her and Lisa Marie Ling 'allegedly ~ What you also should know is it's Tony Kendell who pulls all the strings despite him saying it's 'the bosses' upstairs.
Also the 'Mods' are all hand picked by him (TK) to cover his back and is serendipitously policed so that any thread about the software or him is deleted immediately unless it praise !!
There's a lot more i could say , but there are thoughts that the site (Skypoker) in it's present form wont be around much longer !
However, as he has total control of the site and forum, it will only be a 'Bob Diamond' moment for it to happen soon
And if you wondered where have all the old presenters and analysts gone .. They were either to good or a threat to his position

PS, I dare you to ask on that forum,
"whatever happened to 'bennydip2', why did he get banned" ?? See how long it takes for that to get taken off !!
