OK, here is the patch to handle the new date format in the summary emails...version 2.17.03F

I installed the new patch (around 7pm) and it listed all my hands played after 7pm in "Todays Data", but it still has my previous hands from today (before 7pm) as yesterday's. Any way to switch this easily? If not, it's ok, not a big deal.

OKP

Did you purge and reimport the hand histories like I detailed in the 4th post of this thread?

Sorry, I quickly scanned this thread while playing. I purged and re-imported, and it is correct.

Thanks

OK, here is a patch for this when it happens. I hope I didn't mess anything up, I really don't like coding against something if I'm not 100% certain of the format. If they use what they displayed on 2+2 this should work.

Here is patch 2.17.03F

If anyone has problems, they can go back to the previous version until I get it fixed

If anyone has loaded hands the times will all be 12AM. If you really want to fix this (it's not necessary, the dates should still be OK) then you would have to export, purge and reimport all the hands since the date this problem started.

1. Use the Utilities > Export Hand Histories To File window to export all the hands played since the date they made this format change.
2. Use the Utilities > Database Maintenance and Options window to purge all your sessions that were played since the date they decided to make this format change. You will see they all have 12AM as the date for the session.
3. Then reimport the hand history files that were exported in step 1.

Let me know if there any issues.

I've encountered an odd quirk. I exported/purged/reimported as stated above. Then when I looked at Ring Game stats and filtered by sessions since 01/01/2009 on the Preferences tabs, things looked fine, i.e., the session dates and times were correct and all of my hands appeared to be there. If I filtered by a particular session by clicking on a particular session, e.g., 01/31/09, in the Session Notes tab, things looked fine as well.

But if I filter by Specific Date, e.g., 01/31/2009, on the Preferences tabs, then all of a sudden I can't find my data on the General or Session Notes tab, even though all three 01/31/09 sessions show up when I filter by "Since A Date" = 01/01/2009. Same thing if I filter by "Since A Date" = 01/31/2009, or by "Between Dates" = 01/31/2009 to 01/31/2009. But if I filter by "Since a Date" = 01/30/2009, the 1/31/09 sessions reappear (but my 1/30/09 session is missing).

It appears that certain players, including me, are filtered out when I filter by a specific date, even if they appear if I filter using "Since A Date." It shows 43 players in the 1/31 sessions if I filter by 1/31/2009, but 76 players for the 1/31 sessions if I filter using "Since A Date" 1/30/2009.

The filters are based on session START time. It sounds like these sessions were started on 1/30 and continued over into 1/31 which is why they don't show when you filter by that date. Some of the players will show up because they joined the table after midnight so their sessions started on 1/31 but your started on 1/30.

You are absolutely right. I forgot that I have "My Day Starts at" set to 9 am, and these sessions began at 8:39 am and 8:40 am.

Thanks for continuing to answer stupid questions about PT2.

Poker Stars not importing my hand histories. I get this in error messages: Unable to get the game date(2)... 2009/02/16 13:13:21 ET. Just installed PT, so it never worked before
