Many thanks to those who took the time to reply in detail to my question about cue bidding. Those were very helpful posts. RobR

This has been an interesting thread. Thanks to all who contributed. I am a beginner, and in my life I think I might have used cue bids once. My impression was that cue bids generally show control. So, if I open 1S, partner responds 2S, and I realize slam is a possibility, on the given hand I might have bid 3D (had I remembered that cue bids exist). That would have said two things: I can't control clubs, and I can control diamonds. I have never before heard of using a cue bid to ask if partner can help with a suit, as earlier responders have recommended. When does a cue bid show weakness in a suit, and when does it show strength in a suit? Thanks very much! RobR

I didn't catch that. Many thanks! RobR

In the Bridge Base Online Discussion page, where it lists available forums, it says this form has over 1000 topics. But when I got the forum page I only see one page of topics (about 25 of them). Why can't I see the older topics? RobR

Greetings! I am a very new BBO user. When I first signed in, I had some questions I wanted to ask in the forum. I tried to log in to the forum. It asked me for my BBO user name and password. I entered them, and was told that they were incorrect. I tried a few times. I then sent an E-mail to support@bridgebaseonline.com. A very unpleasant exchange ensued, in which they did not understand that I was asking about the forums instead of the game. Finally, a few days after a very angry exclamation-point-filled message from me, someone told me that the forums do not allow users to post until 10 days after they sign up. It is now 10 days after I signed up, and I can now post. Could you please put something up someplace that tells new members that they have to wait 10 days to post to the forum? Thank you very much!
