Hi, My BBO name is frank2066. I am an ACBL Certified bridge teacher. I am trying to teach my bridge students on BBO while our local Seniors Center is closed during the Covid-19 shutdown. I would like to request some changes to the way BBO tables function. 1) I reserve seats for my students. It would be really helpful if that reservation stayed on that seat until I remove it or close the table. At present, when a student temporarily loses connection to the internet, BBO constantly tosses Join Requests at me from other players looking for any seat, which interferes with my ability to re-reserve that seat for my student, every step of the way, as I desperately scramble through the steps needed to re-enter my student's BBO name into the reservation. 2) The default for the Message Line at the table should be Table, not Kibitzers. Also, I should not have to click on the Message Line every time I want to say; glp, wdo, wdp, etc. I should just have to start typing. Also, the Message Line memory has permanently stored 3 phrases that I used 6 months ago, and I do not need to constantly see them presented in a white square that blocks part of my screen every time I want to type a new message to the people at my table. I can temporarily make the "ghost" messages disappear by clicking elsewhere on the screen. For some reason, I cannot delete them. If you can, please do. Thanks for your assistance. Do any other players wish these problems were dealt with? Frank Hastings- frank2066
