I do not use the old Windows version of BBO - I am an Apple user and use the web based BBO application. There is no automatic news on display when I log in, so I did not know that these recent redeals were an error. Just so you know.

The new automatic redeal that BBO has instigated whenever a new person joins the table is terribly disruptive and reduces the enjoyment of the game. Please rethink this! Maybe have the automatic redeal ONLY occur when a kibber enters the table. Or just remove this feature altogether! I recently sat at a table and as players came and left, the system redealt hand after hand after hand - This was disconcerting and discouraging to the people at the table. Bid after bid was for nought as the redeals kept occuring. Someone said it was instigated to somehow reduce cheating, but I think that the disruptive experiences we've had with all these hands being jerked out from under us in the bidding process has a much more negative effect than any redeeming values of thwarting an occasional cheater. And we all know that if a cheater is determined to cheat, he or she will find another way around this. Please stop redealing our hands every time a new person joins the table!!! Perhaps you could consider allowing the host to check a box to disable that feature, or something like that. Thanks!

Could you possibly move the pop-up that comes up when you click on the card pile to see the last trick played so that it doesn't cover the dummy's cards in the RHO position? It would work well if the placement of the pop-up would just be positioned down a couple of inches so that it doesn't block the dummy. Thank you for your consideration.
