HH Converter test thread...

[Talking Poker]

I'd prefer for HERO to remain in CAPS and red, but I don't like the larger size. My

I'd also vote to have the Section lines (Flop/Turn/etc) in bold, but again, the same size as everything else. Same for Hero's cards. Oh, and I'd lost the "Players" line - we know they are players.

Those are just a few suggestions off the top of my head. Hopefully someone else will have something to contribute to this thread.... otherwise, I guess we'll just make it however you and I want it to look.

BTW - I am perfectly capable of modifying the formatting (output) myself... I haven't though, since you asked me not to touch the code.

Oh, one more thing - to help distinguish between tourneys and cash games, use $ for cash games but T$ for tourneys. It might be a good to include more of the header info too - not necessarily the Hand Number, but at least the tourney buy in and level... that sort of thing.

Separate the flop turn and river actions into separate paragraphs.

[Nikita]

Would anyone think it better if each players action went from left to right instead of top to bottm. There is a lot of scrolling down with these HHs. I'm thinking make it similar to this .
I definitely wish these were more compact.

[Boobie Lover]

I think that each street's action going horizontal would be easier to read (aka the way most other forum's hand history converters already are).

[Talking Poker]

I actually prefer the top to bottom... It's easier for me to quickly see each action like that. But I'm game for whatever most people like, and I like the idea of compacting the HHs a little bit.

[de-coder]

They are - or at least they are when I convert the hand. The paragraphs seem to get lost if you switch between editor modes though.

side to side - like this?

I also prefer up and down, I think it's easier to follow. Particularly when I have pot size in there and I want to add pot adds to call...

[Talking Poker]

The next version is out there now, de-coder. Should I post the link for people to play with, or do you want to do more solo-testing?

I still prefer top to bottom, but I don't hate the compact one. I suppose I could make a poll and see which people prefer.

[de-coder]

you can put it out there now - more feedback is better, particularly for bugs.

For people using it - in the page source of the output page is some commented debug code. If things don't appear as expected please post it and I'll look at it.

[Robbie Robb]

While the left-to-right would make for smaller HH, I find it easier to read top down - maybe it's just because I'm used to it, I'm not sure.

[de-coder]

Do you mean T$ everywhere or just in the header? I've made the other changes and will send it to you with the next version.
