  1. I am glad to see that I am not the only one to have problems with the Web based version of BBO. My father is 97 and was, until he was forced to use the web based version an avid player. The reason? He is blind in one eye and has limited vision in the other eye. I also have less severe sight problems and find the web version very difficult to use. I live in France and my father lives in England so next week I am going to see him to see if I can sort out the old version for him. It still works fine on my Windows 7 computer so I am sure I can sort it out. BUT if BBO insist on turning off the old version, then there will be several users I know forced to stop playing. I fully understand that a web based version opens up BBO's market to Apple and Linux users and that is good for them. BUT the old version still works for many people so why turn it off? Has anyone emailed support@bridgebase.com to let them know their views and if so, what has the response been? Since there does not seem to be an option on this forum to start a poll, I have added one, you'll find it HERE please do go and if you want to retain the old version, simply click the radio button.

  2. Hi, Just started using GIB on BBO and I have a couple of questions that I need some help with. 1 - when I hover over GIB's bid, it shows me what GIB's bid means, is there a way to change the background colour of the line - on my computer it is purple and I am having some difficulty in reading the black text against purple. 2 - when playing with GIB I play N and my partner plays W, GIB is E/S. If my partner hovers over her intended bid, she gets a popup box showing what her bid means, I don't. I have tried on a couple of different computers and it is the same. I am the 'owner' of GIB and I am wondering if that is the reason. If my partner uses my computer she sees the popup so it isn't the computer. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks Tim
