: Hi Everyone,

: I've had quite a few people ask for help in making CG run smoothly for them, and I thought posting a fresh HOW TO in the forum here may help them or you :)

: Many do not realize just what they can do in CG or how to do it, as with anything new it can be a bit daunting.. But do not worry :) There is so many great folks around to help anyone needing a little help.

: First off - To play at CG and to not have any problems you need to do 2 simple things ..

: [b]1 - Get FLASH 8 - CG is a flash based site, so you need to current updated version of the flashplayer to use it.[/b]

: Its easy - all you need to do is go to here [url]http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer [/url]
: - Download and install (which it does automatically for you)
: - Make sure you leave CG (if your in the lobby while doing this) and then return, before trying to play again.

:
: [b]2 - Make sure you set your Pop up blocker to allow CG. You can do this by..[/b]

: - Clicking tools at the top of your internet browser (IE - Internet Explorer)
: - Then pop upblocker - then pop up blocker settings ..
: - Add www.clubgames.com to your allowed sites & Click ok, then exit.
: - In firefox you go to tools/ options /content / either add www.clubgames.com to your allowed sites or unclick the popup blocker.

: Now theres a lot of talk about [b]Firefox[/b] being better for CG than using your usual Internet Explorer browser..(which is the default windows browser for surfing the net)..
: That doesn't mean you have to have it, but if your comfortable following the below instructions GET IT!
: It COULD help solve any other issues you may be having.

: Firefox can be downloaded here -[url]http://www.getfirefox.com[/url]

: - Download and install which is easy.
: - Make sure NOT to import IE files and NOT to make firefox your default browser

: Long as you do this NOTHING will change for you.. OTHER than having a firefox icon on your desktop which you can click and open when you want to play at CG.

: With FLASH 8 - POP UP BLOCKER sorted and Firefox this should solve most fundamental issues which could be causing you to boot - your lobby chat to mess up - game tables not opening - etc etc.

:
: Now want to know how to check out some other options CG has to offer?
: Want to know how to get to the Case's lobby room in CG.. read on :)

: [b]Getting to the Case's Club Room[/b]

: First off you will need to log in.
: Click launch backgammon and then free games. This brings you to the main lobby area of CG.
: Up the top of this lobby you will see headings marked..
: Game Tables - Tournaments - Clubs.
: If you click on CLUBS,you then get see these tabs.
: [i]MY CLUBS[/i](where your favourite Clubs you have joined will show)
: [i]CLUB LIST[/i] (where ALL clubs in CG are shown - scan the list for the required club lobby etc)

:
: If you haven't joined the Case's Club through the normal CG webpages - it's ok. Once you find Cases Ladder Club in the list you can click on HOME, this will open the clubs webpage and allow you to JOIN IT.. This ONLY means that now this room will show in your MY CLUB area..(making it easier to find in future)

: If you click LOBBY on the right of Case's Ladder Club.. Your in the room.

: Now that wasn't hard was it ?? ;)

: [i] You can be in the main lobby and in the Case's lobby - if noone is around, try asking in the MAIN CG LOBBY for a Case's player to join you in the Case's room lobby.[/i]

:
: Ok, [b]joining free tournaments[/b] is just as easy. All you have to do is click on TOURNAMENTS and register for the tourney you wish to play in.. And then launch the tourney lobby. When it starts you will be requested to join the required table and off you go.

: Noone realizes better than me, that anything new can be frustrating.. But there's plenty of people who will help you.
: If English isn't your first language, this all can be quite hard.. But find a way to ask for help, whether it be through asking a bilingual friend.. Or contacting support@clubgames.com

: Thats it from me, this has become super long.. I only wished to help those who may be too overwhelmed to speak up for help.

: Goodluck everyone and see you in CG

: Sarah :)
