| General Preferences:
The Preferences window allows you to customize how PokerFunClub looks, feels, plays and sounds on your computer. With numerous options you can have the game configured to just how you like.
Preference Descriptions:
General:
- Show bubble hints -- displays text hints that helps to explain and illuminate each area of the game, including descriptions of game play as you watch or play.
- Ping time always visible -- displays your 'ping' time in the lower right corner of your screen. Ping is the time, in 1/1000ths of a second, that it takes a PokerFunClub message to travel from your machine to the server and back; e.g., a ping of 500 means it takes about 1/2 second for your Bet instruction to reach the server and come back to you. Note: when this feature is turned on, pass your mouse over other players to see their ping time (check out who's got a slow connection, or is just slow to act).
- Force show processor compensation -- reduces the level of animation and effects to compensate for older processors. PokerFunClub should run fine on a Pentium II or better, but if you run several other applications at the same time, PokerFunClub may struggle. Selecting this preference will help (it will also cause animations to play less smoothly). Note: this setting is automatically chosen (grayed out) if your machine has a CPU of 200 mhz or less.
- Log path -- Use this option to decide where you wish to have your saved logs located.
Game:
- Show floating chat text -- chat text appears next to each player as they chat, as well as in the Log window (the same one that displays game play). Click the Chat tab to see chat logs in each room. You may choose a certain length of time before the chat will automatically fade out.
- Fade Host Messages After -- This options allows you to choose the amount of time to which a message from a host will remain on your screen. You may have the message automatically fade out after 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 seconds or 1 minute after appearing.

- Animate view cards action -- plays the 0.3 second animation used to display your cards. Turn this feature off to see your cards instantly. Note: each time you view your cards, other players see you act; turning off the setting does not turn it off in other players' view.
