Lots of old friends here and graphics are nice .. but please if anyone has any influence get them to fix it so u can see the crib cards without review which takes 2 long... I can not believe people are accepting a count of hand and crib combined without seeing the cards.....see u all at the tables.......

  Actually it is not that difficult to read the crib cards if you are card savvy. Look at the total of points in hand, subtract that from total hand/crib combo which gives you crib count. Then look at the cut card and keeping in mind what you threw figure what will give you a crib count that matches. Look at the crib cards with a glance and you should be able to tell even with the smaller cards. Of course this only works if you do know how to actually count points. ( Not being sarcastic saying this--I have run into some in Game Colony (oops I mentioned another game site) playing that are totally lost if you try playing them in a manual scored game)
  I probably didn't explain this in the best of ways, but I have been able to track cribs without review as one can actually kind of tell by the cards just what they are. Whether faces or whatever and once again remembering just what was tossed by yourself. Some of it, I admit, is by the SWAG (Smart Wild As$ed Guess) method. The ones that I really wonder about I do click review to double check. As I am usually not in too big a hurry playing the extra time matters little.
  I agree they should fix this problem along with some other glitches they have here and I attempted to post in Forum but ran into another glitch---I don't exist! Apparently in order to post in the Shack forum you must also register your user name and log in. After countless attempts to do this I gave up. Even with the help of support staff it was to no avail.
  On the support staff, they are usually very helpful and fairly easy to find and chat with if you go to the Rock room. Or they can be found on the main page under support. Easier than it was on MSN to find help right now.
  Hopefully someone else (who exists better than I) has the same problems we are having and will post in the Shack forum.
  Anyway this is a new site and they are working on fixing problems here as they crop up so don't give up yet. Looking forward to seeing you and many of the others from Cases that I missed during my hiatus from the OLD ladder.

    I do know how to count but often can't remember the card i just played and do always subtract as u said but if the crib is large do want to see the cards...I have not been lucky enough to find anyone to help and did give up posting in their forum as never did quite figure it out......I am trying to edit my shack password as cases changed the rules and I would like them the same...I am not giving up and am always glad to hear they are working on this stuff..The people playing here will keep me here if nothing else.. and hopefully things will change.. I think because of the frustration at desire trying to get changes am not as positive as i should be...
