The video that plays in the background when logging in is a poor example of how bridge is to be played. The players give facial expressions to their partner and the declarer looks at his opponent like he is at a poker table. Maybe it is trying to show the social aspect of bridge but it is totally inappropriate at any competitive bridge setting!

Yes, I was playing a daylong tournament? Any way you can have the two servers communicate so the server that checks idle time is informed by the daylong server that the user is active?

BBO sends a message every 20 minutes or so asking if the player is there. If you don't click the box in a couple of minutes, you are logged off. Beyond the irritation when you are right in the middle of a hand and get this interruption (which is far too frequent for my taste) is the message itself. It says "BBO thinks you are away from your keyboard". If I have active key strokes why does BBO think I am away from my keyboard? If BBO insist on checking every 20 minutes to see if I respond than just say that! Don't say you think I am from my keyboard when I am actively playing a hand. Very annoying message!
