Dear AZBilliards Forum Members:
Together with AZ staff, we have created a special player version of the CueTable for AZBilliards Forum users to include their own shot layouts inside of their posts. Being able to view and edit the diagrams directly from posts will greatly enhance the forum experience for everyone. The following instructions show you how to do this.

CueTable Player Technical Information
- Just like WeiTable, both CueTable Player and CueTable Editor are made from Adobe Director which requires the Adobe Shockwave Plug-In (different from Adobe Flash Plug-In). It can be downloaded from the Adobe Shockwave Player Site
- It will display both WeiTable data and CueTable data from the html page.
- Since the CueTable Player does not have the full editing features, it requires less system resource than WeiTable does. It also has a smaller file size than CueTable Editor does.
- It will work both in a forum post and in your private message (PM).
- There is no longer a need to take a screen capture, open it in an image editor, save into .jpg or .gif file and upload it as an attachment. We save time and harddrive room.
Advantages of CueTable Player over the old WeiTable
- Correct Size/Proportion to a standard 9 ft Pool Table with regulation-sized balls
- Full Crispy Raster Graphics with Higher Resolution and Better Color
- Multiple Pages Can be Saved in One Layout Data String
- Post-It Text Notes for Adding Captions in the Layout
- More Lines, Better Lines, Longer Lines
- Shorter Layout Data String in a URL- Ready Format
