So - what's up with this newest glitch of not being able to sit at a table for a game of spades?   Can get into lobby but when try to sit message comes up saying basically not allowed.  Chat is all over the rooms with people having the same problems.  I'm on firefox - played earlier today but can't now. 
Someone at gamingpeak must have made the wrong move.  Hope this gets fixed soon -- players, including me, not happy.

Same problem Spud,

same problem firefox 3.6

when I get into gaming peak and try to sit at a table all I get is a black screen can you help me please

I can't sit at a table, I can't talk with people in the lobby, nothing since the side has changed

Personally, I have not had this problem.  However, I did find this suggestions helpful to get some of my performance back that was "gently" lifted away by quiet design changes to Firefox, 3.6.4 and beyond. 

Not many know a separate process now starts with Firefox that "can" slow you down and take memory from you (in addition to the already prodigious amounts Firefox seems to take for caching things...).

Read this and see if you want to follow the suggestions.  I am not sure it's related to the problem you're all having, because I haven't seen that one personally:
