Spades, Euchre update

Written by chriscummings101 / March 20, 2012 10:32 pm / 10 Comments

Hi everyone –

Just to be clear – based on your feedback, we’re amending our original plan for Spades, Euchre, Hearts and Dominoes.

Rather than outright retiring Spades, Euchre, Hearts, and Dominoes, we will be ending support and marketing for those games on April 2, but we’ll keep them available for play.

Read on…

Your feedback is needed!

We know that repeat winners on the site is a hot button topic for many of our members. We wanted to give you a chance to weigh in on the topic (yes, I know – not another survey!). Currently, Gamesville doesn’t artificially cap anyone’s wins, and that’s why it’s possible for a member to win more than once.  Our games have always operated in that way. Should this change?

By completing the survey, you would enable us to better understand what exactly is causing the frustration among some of our community. Take the survey and let us know your thoughts.

Repeat Winners Survey

And on a side note, I haven’t forgotten about the Countdown to Cash survey from a few weeks ago.  I plan to have the results for everyone on Thursday.

Also, the comments have been closed on this thread to ensure everyone directs their concerns to the survey itself.

We here at Gamesville are constantly working to enhance your overall experience on our site. And one of the greatest ways to see if we are doing a good job is to measure how you feel about our Customer Service Team.  With your help, we’ll discover areas for improvement and make the necessary changes which of course will increase user satisfaction. Sounds like a great idea, right?

So please take a moment to complete the survey.

Looks like I got wrapped up in lots of work and missed the second ‘Hang out in chat’ time today! I will totally make up for it by being on TWICE on Tuesday! Can you guys ever forgive me??

I’ll definitely still be on next Thursday (just wrote myself a calendar reminder) and I will also be on at night next week as well for all you nite-owls out there!

Site Update

Written by gamesville / September 20, 2007 4:01 am / 52 Comments

We understand from comments here in the Blog and from emails into customer service that some of the ads running on some Gamesville games are causing playability issues for several of you.

Our ad operations group is investigating and removing ads that are causing problems, and we need your continued help to identify exactly which ads are causing problems for you.

The next time an ad starts to interfere with your game, please take a screenshot of that ad and send it to us so our ad operations group can investigate and remove that ad from our site.

The easiest way to capture a screenshot using Microsoft Windows is to press one of the following on your keyboard:

  • Alt + Print Screen to capture the active window, or
  • Print Screen to capture your full computer screen

You then need to paste this screen capture into a graphic to create the screenshot. To paste this screenshot into an actual graphic…

  • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint. This will open the Paint application.
  • Press Ctrl + V to paste the screen capture into Paint.
  • Now go to Select File > Save As.
  • In the Save In field, select a location to save the file, such as your Desktop.
  • In the File name field, type in a name for the file.
  • In the Type field, select .bmp, .gif, or .jpg.
  • Click Save.

If you're using a Macintosh computer, the process is a little more streamlined: With the window up that you want to take a screenshot of, click these three keys simultaneously: Shift-Apple-3. This will save a "Picture" file to your dekstop automatically.

Send us your screenshot and a description of your issue–including the game where the ad appeared–via our ticket submission form.

Thanks for your help, and your patience as we work together to address these issues.

Sincerely,
Chris Cummings
Manager, Gamesville.com

Changes To The My Gamesville Box

Written by gamesville / July 20, 2007 7:45 pm / 10 Comments

This morning, we launched a few changes to the My Gamesville box on the homepage that we think will answer a lot of the questions coming into customer service; namely, "How do I edit my account information?" and "How do I switch users?"

Here is a screenshot of the revised My Gamesville box (using my new Gamesville member name, "Cinemachris") with callouts explaining the new features: 

We hope this makes it that much easier to find and edit your account information. As always, we are listening to your feedback and are working as quickly as we can to address your concerns and bring you the best games site possible. There are many new, exciting games and features coming to Gamesville this summer and fall; get ready, the best is yet to come…
