Canasta - scoring not working

Canasta is such a mess. The game was a daily habit and relaxation, while bedridden with a chronic illness. Now there are so many glitches it's no longer a pleasure. I've been a Club member since t...

It surely would be great if someone would deal with this scoring issue, after all this time. It takes a lot of the fun out of playing canasta here. Same with no chat during a game. Has anyone found another website for playing canasta, without so many problems? I've been here for a looooong time - since the 1990s, and a Club Pogo member since it became available. But I'm just about on tilt, ready to find something new. :-(

The scoring issue continues. I win a game and watch the rating go down as it ends. Plus, recently, there are a lot of connection issues. The game will freeze - I keep hitting the pile to draw, or meld to play cards, but nothing happens. Usually, after a long wait, the game reboots and sometimes that allows me to play. Sometimes the game disappears and my rating drops.
I'm hoping with the "improvements" they've promised, these issues will be addressed. It's frustrating to continue to have problems with POGO, after being with the site for probably 20 years. Until a few years ago, it was a pleasure to play. Unfortunately, there is no longer the case.
Anyone yet found a better site online to play canasta?

The Canasta interface issues are so old. The issues could be solved but Pogo won't dedicate the time, resources, and money to fix them. As a subscriber, it's very frustrating to enjoy a game that is increasingly difficult to play given the instability of the interface.
Your programmers and the people who monitor these cases must hate going to work each day. You won't fix the problems so they can't offer solutions or any expectation that things will improve.
Also, your responses suggest that it's the browser we're using, cookies, etc., instead of the instability of the interface for YEARS.
