It takes less bandwidth?? With the web-interface on my friend's computer I can only see the ads being regularly updated. I don't get to the login. With the standalone client I can actually play (with my old account)! Francois

I wanted to help a friend with his BBO access. His WiFi internet connection is not very fast, so I installed the Bridge Base Online Client (Win) 5.2.6. I could log on and play on his computer. - I could not create a new member ID with the client 5.2.6. After I created a new ID via http://www.bridgebase.com/client/client.php - I could not login with client 5.2.6 because the "program is too old" Is there a way to solve this? Francois

The following applies to NetBridgeVu.exe v.5.2.21 (Windows) I also had the problem that NetBridgeVu did not display the recorded .lin-file properly: only the first result was displayed, no names, no links to the hands. Inspection of the file showed that the data was there for all the hands. The problem - it took an hourlong email exchange with bbo and some experiments - is, apparently, that the recorded string for the match is too long for NetBridgeVu.exe. After I shortened it, everything displayed correctly. The .lin-file is a regular textfile and the string in question is the first string in vg|first string,further strings/info| Maybe the inconsistency between recording and displaying can be removed?
