I guess this may seem silly but what does gender have to do with BBO bridge?

As a retired programmer and systems administrator, I use both the "old" and new version of BBO. Since the "old" version is a standalone program, it is dependent upon the software and updates that are specific for each hardware platform. That is difficult and costly to maintain. The new version is web based and only had to adhere to published browser standards. The new web version could have and should have incorporated more of the features of the old version. I would love to have the chat saved in the new version! I doubt that anyone will spend the time and resources to change anything in the old version. Just use it until it dies!! As for changes to the new version, that is an issue for the bean counters to figure if it is economically feasible :)

The biggest problem is when one sends a profane language chat to the wrong group or person! When on a public site, such as BBO, err on the side of moderate language!

I use Firefox 34.0.5 and get the same problem but not on all MP matches.

As a retired IT manager for a large corporation I can tell you that ANY chat on a computer you do not own, is NOT private!!!

If both partners have that they play RKCB on their BBO profiles and convention cards, is a 4NT bid asking for key cards alertable? I was told by the TD that all artificial bids were alertable! ACBL documents do not support this ruling.
