It's probably best not to try and upload a new one whilst they are disabled - you might end up deleting your existing one.

On the iOS application you also need a 'cancel' button on the chat box. If you change your mind after bringing it up, you have to say something - I usually just type a '.' then 'enter' to get out.

Switch to using a club which has very few tables in it. I won't tell you which one I use as that might affect the situation.

It doesn't necessarily mean that they logged themselves off - BBO has a habit of indiscriminately booting players off, who then have to scrabble to get back.

If it is Grey, the text is 'follow', if it is Blue, the text is 'Friend' - which all ties in with what has been typed above.

On the contrary - bridge is a social game, you can get kicked out of a club for not being nice. My ignore list is full of posters who have need for politeness.

I see you have access to a Thesaurus. Which of those options do you think is the most polite?

Whilst we're on the subject, can the typed abbreviations be converted to full when chat audio is on? It does it for 'thx', but things like glp, typ, ty, brb, wpo come out as just the letters.

I would ditch Chrome.

Of course, masterpoints don't signify how good a player is, just how often they play.

The delay in making a bid may be due to the opps. not responding to a request for clarification. You need some way of attributing delay which takes that into account.

If you know the cards are going to move, its a simple solution - wait.

A slightly more involved method - which works if they are completely untraceable is to search for people in the same club who might be playing with them. Then you can message them to get comtact details, or look at whom they are sharing tables with.

I use an old iPad using ios 10.3.4 As far as I recall (it was awhile ago I tested everything) the only thing it fails to do is access some of the hosting menu options when trying to run a teams game. Then I have to revert to a laptop.

Underneath the first 'Start a table' there is Relaxed Bridge Club and Main Bridge Club. These are the 2 locations your table will be placed depending on which button you press. It is probably worth watching a few tables in the main bridge club and observing the temperment of the players. When BBO kicks one of your group off due to problems, the type of player you get landed with in their place will depend on which club you are in.
