Is it just me or are the some availability issues with the hand converter lately. On average, I have to try 20 times for a hand to be converted. Usually, I get a white screen (inside the browser). Probably due to a timeout because the server is too busy.

Sorry about that Willem. I will weave some magic over the coming days and weeks, rest assured, and all will be well soon.

cybrarian thanks for a great bit of software makes it nice and easy to post hands.

I had the same issue as Kinnipak with posting UB hands.

The problem I have found is within the UB Hand txt file, i had to delete all the spaces before text lines, for the hand convertor to read it properly.

I also had to put powered by Ultimatebet at the top.

not sure if this is right but it is a work around if you want me to email you the two hand.txt files let me know.

Quick update - as you might have noticed if you've tried to convert hands today, I've added a requirement that you need to log in to my site to use the converter. Registration shouldn't take more than a couple of moments, and I promise not to use anyone's information in any way whatsoever. Well, unless I get a really really great offer, I mean.

Just kidding.

Anyway, I don't know if it will help in the end, but I'm trying one or two things to get round the gradual degradation in performance. My code, and general lack of bandwidth, or processing knowledge, might be to blame, but I'm hoping that's not the whole story.

EDIT: nevermind.

Can your bottleneck be processing power? I don't know exactly how your converter works but I guess you parse the hand-history into some kind of AST which you then transform in the desired output. While it's not a complete compiler, the computations can still be expensive in terms of time.

Sorry Cy,

I am not going to try to use you converter anymore. I registered and could not get in. I like it but just too many issues.

I lied, I tried again. My password did not take, I asked for a password reset and that did not work. Your site does not work for me.

The other site that I use to convert a hand is FTR and that now does not work.

Worked for me just last night.

Thanks - I think it is just the particular hand that I was trying to convert on FTR. Other hands are working - I can not log on to Cy's site and I will give that up.

Some hands just can not be converted. I used to program so I know how it goes with program bugs.

I am having trouble with the site too. tried to register and still have not been emailed a password over an hour later.


nevermind... should learn to check my spam folder more often.
