There are some issues with the feature of dynamically selecting a pool. Basically I switched pools the other day, and I did it from the dashboard instead of changing the order in the pool in the settings and restarting.

The first issue was that I had to click the "Select This" button twice. The first time didn't seem to do anything. Or at least it didn't show any differences in the pool selection in the dashboard.

The second issue is that last night the pool that I dynamically selected must have had a connectivity problem. When I woke up this morning, the rig had switched back to the first pool in my settings, not the one that I had dynamically selected.

What it seems like is the pool order specified in the settings seems to ultimately "win" over any dynamic selected pool if that pool has a connection problem. Given that, I think that the only safe way to manage pools currently is to change their order in the settings and restart the miner. That's what I did this morning.

What would be really nice would be if we can change the pool order in the settings without restarting the miner, and have that take immediate affect. That in combination with the dynamic selection of a pool would be a big improvement in pool management.

Maybe it does in fact already work that way, but I didn't try it and have no way to confirm it.
