Hi Fred, Uday, I've done some digging and I can now always reproduce the problem. I don't think it has anything to do with logging on to BBO. A screengrab of the offending buttons: http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs136&d=09063&f=bbo_vg_buttons573.png My Environment: Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 - Note that I did this yesterday on the previous version with the same result Adobe flash player 10 Repro steps: In firefox I load: http://www.bridgebase.com/client/vugraph.php - loads fine I then resize the right container using the vertical separator to be about 75% of its original size. The right container holds the results table and the table image. I then reload the page. On reload, I see that - The container is now back to its original size - The buttons as shown in the image above are there The buttons disappear when I force a refresh such as resizing the right container or doing some other things. I was not able to reproduce this on IE(8) or Safari. I'm not sure if their flash plugins is different, or perhaps they are executing the refresh code that hides the buttons, while firefox doesn't execute it. The vertical dimension of the browser window doesn't seem to matter. Originally I though it was linked to the logging in to BBO, since I didn't see why the Who's online and My Results buttons would exist in Vugraph, but now I think they are in your Viewgraph app itself. Which leads me to wonder if this is even the right viewgraph app, I may have found it via google, so perhaps it's an old version? To answer your question of what did I mean by logging in, I would log in to BBO in one tab, and then open that viewgraph page in another. Always in firefox as described above. Clearing the flash cache (setting local storage to 0, I think should do that) did not have any impact, the behavior persists. The buttons are not able to get my mouse clicks, clicking them just passes the click down to the tabs below, and the tabs below have a highlight effect while the buttons themselves do not change at all. If you'd like me to assist in helping you reproduce the problem, or have any other questions, please let me know. Many thanks, Tom

Hi, I see a small bug perhaps in the viewgraph online application. I wonder if it's known. When I log into the BBO online app, then log out, then log into viewgraph: http://www.bridgebase.com/client/vugraph.php while there are no vugraphs in session (or perhaps even when there are), I see initially the Who's Online and My Results buttons are overlapping the My Table and Other Table buttons. When I resize my window, the Who's Online and My Results buttons disappear. There are some times, rarely, when I do not see those buttons right after I reload, but I'd say a good 90% of the time I do see them (until I resize). Thanks! Tom

Hi, I noticed that in v5.0.3 the options dialog (clicking on the gears) brings up the options tabs page which has a help button. Unfortunately, on the Profile tab: clicking help does nothing General tab: 404 -> http://www.bridgebase.com/help/3/newview/options1 At a table: 404 -> http://www.bridgebase.com/help/3/newview/options2 etc. Oops? Thanks for the great software and the obvious hard work that it takes to keep BBO running. Tom

Hi, Thank you for the great BBO system. I am just starting to learn how to play bridge and have a suggestion that may help the novice players. The partnership bidding rooms are very powerful, as I can create deals that highlight exactly the concepts I'm trying to practice (reply to suit opener, reply to NT, etc.). However, I don't believe there is an easy way for me to sit at more than one seat, and thus practice bidding by myself with the automatically generated hands. Also, I don't believe I can create teaching rooms (where I can sit at more than one seat) with hands constrained as they are in the bidding section. Having the ability to practice bidding against myself, and also practice play on hands constrained with the tools of the practice bidding system would go a long way in helping us novice players drill some of the basic concepts in a sandbox. Once again thank you very much for your efforts on BBO. Tom
