In order to be fair to ops during bidding, one should actually click on the Alert button before bidding (bid shows as grey right away). Otherwise, the ops may make a bid before you can click on your own bid to alert. However, it is vary easy to misclick on the pass button instead of the Alert button, so many players make the bid then click on it to alert with this delay the ops have often made a bid before they know about the alert.

"Ability to bring up a saved pre-alert (ie: Greetings opps, we play 2/1, ud/ca, multi) instead of having to type it each time. More beneficial when playing in tournaments." I do this now by adding custom text to partner (right click and type in box) Once the text is entered click ok I have text summarizing basic approach for each of my tourney partners To retrieve text, right click on name Highlight text and "Ctrl C" click cancel; then in chat dialogue "Ctrl V" to insert text eg "Hi GL ops - 2/1 UDCA O/E - cc posted" Each new table click chat then "Ctrl V" For casual play/ pick up partners I also type in what agreements we have (also useful for future sessions) Sometime I can't remember all details dicussed when I sat down so instead of scrolling back through tons of chat to see if drury or rev drury I right click on name to refresh memory. Also makes it easy to use to create a CC if needed for tourney Each time we have a new ops sit I can the paste to chat dialogue. Eg. "We are playing pard's profile - 2/1 with stollen bid, std carding and O/E Western Cue bid"

With large LCDs becoming the norm and the fact that LCDs do not display well in other than native mode (often 1280 x 1024) the game playing area takes up only about 50% of the screen. This leaves two choices, neither of which is preferable; go to lower resolution which defeats the purpose of a high res large screen or play the games with a small playing area. Will future updates to resolve this issue?
