Posting hands on various websites -> Unsupported Format.

[omnomnom]

This is so frustrating, why I can't share my hands with friends? I can post it only on forums, txt format doesnt work for weaktight, liquid poker, pokerhand.org. How can I discuss hands when my only option is to paste unreadable txt format in skype window? Please fix it.

Are you aware that you can export hands to video and upload them directly to YouTube? Then you could give your friends a YouTube link to see your hand in a replayer.

Also, you can paste the RTF copy of a PT4 hand history via Skype and it should work just fine - what problems are you having there?

[omnomnom]

Youtube? Are you serious? With all due respect, bucause you guys are always here to help us, but we are no kids playing poker - "hey look I ran AK into AJ and he made it on the river, rigged soft, here's the vid", I'm sending lots of hands everyday to people I want to discuss them with, no way I will upload video every time, it's not practical at all. I don't want to be rude, but these are facts, youtube soudns ridiculous.

That being said, I acidentally found a solution to my problem. In 'hand details' window I was trying out every 3 options: FTR, txt and rich text - none of them works with websites. But I discovered that there are two huge tabs: "hand history viewer" and "hand history text", second tab is different text version of hand that works with every website. Maybe someone else will find this knowledge usefull.

You may also find it useful to know that you can export the hand history for multiple hands at once by selecting the hands in question in a report with control-click or shift-click, and then right-click > Export Hand Histories.

Ok, I bought PT4 so I want it to be even better, that's why I'm asking you guys again. At first I was happy I discovered a way to post my hands on websites but after few days of using this method I must complain about how impractical it is :(

Imagine me playing, I had a though hand, I want to send it right away to my friend on skype. I click on this part of HUD that alows me to see last few hands, get a hand I need -> view hand detail, now there are 3 options to choose from to copy hh with just one mouse button click - awsome, but again none of this is working with websites.

To access the text version of a hand that I know it works with weaktight/pokerhand.org I need to open PT4, open results tab, find tournament I'm interested in, find the hand, click view hand details, click hand history text, ctrl+a. And in the mean time my tables are poping up constantly making this process :(

The three buttons in hand summary that is reachable through HUD are very nice idea but can you tell where I can apply thies text verions that is delivered by click 'txt' button? I would love to get this version that works with websites instead of what it is now. Pretty pretty please, consider switching it, it's huge deal for me, I improve mainly due to constant discussion about my hands, pls make my life easier.

To clarify this is the version we get now by clicking txt button

This is from pokerhand, better but still not what it should look like.

And about posting what now is accessible by clicking 'txt' directly to skype - pls try to read that hand I posted in 1st spoiler. Surely it is readable but it's a wall of text, it's painfull to read it especially if you have to read few hands like that.

Please consider my request.

I agree that it would be useful to have the option to copy the original HH text from there, and I'll remind the development team about this request.
However, if you're using skype to discuss hands you can paste the formatted history using the copy to text option.

Thank you very much. About your sugestion - correct me if I missunderstood you - you want me to paste in skype what now is delivered by 'txt' button, right? That's something I've already commented on. This is actually what I'm doing now most of the time but this method is not transparent enough, lack of colour is kinda big deal. When it comes to reviewing lots of hands weaktight is much better than plain text version.

Rich text option is not working at all - I mean, it's impossible to paste it in skype window.

We've looked into Skype chat specifically as a result of this thread - it appears Skype does not accept RTF or HTML or any kind of coloring and provides no real controls to do so, so there isn't much we can work with there.

There are other instant messaging clients that do provide such functionality - AIM for example works with our RTF option. Depending on your situation it may be worth it to get your poker buddies to try to switch to a chat client that provides more tools for you to work with.
