My Chat Manager has not worked since BBO went to version 3. I lost all my saved chat plus cannot save any new lines. Bit of a nuisance.

Hi everyone I have been assisting teachers on BBO for 10 years so have gained an acquaintance with many good teachers. Rates and session format vary but if you are looking for lessons, there is probably a teacher out there who will suit your needs at a price you can afford. I change my BBO profile often to show some of the teachers or ongoing sessions that I particularly find helpful. This week: Marc Smith - groups starting Tuesday, November 30, Marc will be starting a 5-session series on Doubles. John Rayner - groups starting Monday, November 22 John will be a 2-part bridge series on "Fighting it Out": tips for the battle in part score. Gavin Wolpert and his mum Hazel Wolpert - group classes to be announced. Beginner/Intermediate classes and Advanced Bidding using Gavin's Master system. Adam Parrish (Parrish the Thought) - groups ongoing Monday morning and Thursday Steve Conrad - each morning Tuesday to Sunday on BBO - Zoom, covering a variety of subjects. If you would like any more information on these or any other teachers, please let me know by BBO chat - my ID is "bABsG" on BBO. Thanks and happy bridging to all. Babs

Hi Nancy I have also been taking Rob and Gavin's classes and would be happy to practice with you. I sent you a mail through BBO with my email address. Contact me if interested. Thanks! Babs

You sure can. Click on the History tab at the far right of your screen. The hand you just played will show up at the bottom of the column. Click on the the hamburger (3 blue lines in the blue box) and choose Export. Then choose Upload deal to table. It will automatically upload for you to bid/play the hand again. Great learning tool. Hope that helps Babs

Go over to the right hand side and you will see a tab called "Account". Click on that tab. That will bring you to a screen with various heading on the top - Profile, Settings, Convention Cards, etc. Choose Profile. Under where it says "Real name" it will say "Other". Just type in the details of what you are playing (system, carding, and any conventions). Hope that helps! Babs

There is a teacher offering great lessons for his club members on BBO - and they are free. The lessons are geared to beginner/intermediate players and lots of people attend each session. I am an intermediate and learn something every session. His name is Kevin Wilson - his BBO IS is 'grypho'. The lessons are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at Noon New York Time and he LOVES when people chat. He also runs virtual games and provides post-mortems after each. Maybe come try out the lessons. Who knows, you may find a partner or he may be able to suggest someone who might be interested. Please don't give up. There are lots of us out there who are friendly and looking for people to play with on a regular basis. Beats going to the main and having opps and partners changing every board.

Just tried and had no trouble. Maybe they were updating when you logged in?

Paul - do you know if we still have to add +anchat+ to the description to let new players chat or has that been scrapped in the new version? Thanks!!

Daisy - if you are talking about the Lobby chat - you can go to Account>Settings>Chat and turn off Lobby chat (make sure the circle is moved to the left and grey)

The announcement is on the news page to the right hand side when you login - Free tourneys temporarily unavailable between 11AM-4PM US Eastern.

Log into BBO - click on "Casual" - click on "Start a table" - choose type of scoring from drop down window (IMP, MP, ..) fill on privacy options by using sliders (allow kibs, etc.) click on seats and reserve for your friends (type in name then apply) - choose a relaxed game or a competitive game. Table should set up automatically reserving seats for players. Very easy to do. Have fun!

Hi BBO guys I was playing with friends yesterday in the Prime Club. Was on an IMP table and uploaded random vugraphs for practice. We were on the second hand when I realized that I had not noted in the table description that we were using skype. My partner was declaring so I had time to make the change. I went into table options, changed the table description, hit apply and close. A new hand was dealt and we lost the results. The new hand was not a vugraph deal. So it was as if a new table had been started when all I wanted to do was change the table description. Is this a glitch? Ta Babs

Thanks Diana So I assume that the 'purple' people now showing are either Prime members or BBOers who have not had their 30 day free trial. Just wondering.
