I am sure many others are afflicted with this annoying problem and are blaming it on their computer...DONT. The cause is those annoying screen saver motion ads in the bottom corner. Not only are they distracting to play but somehow slooow down performance of the program needed to operate the Bridge Base on line.Nothing will be done unless the get a whole lot of complaints. They are a result of an Adobe Flashplayer ad program . I went into the programs list on my computer and uninstalled the Adobe Flash player but it resulted jn the loss of features on other unrelated sites, and did nothing about the lag of others playing brjdge at Bridge Base with me. I have experienced them pn other sites and they just get worse... So it will take a movement of all users to get Bridge Base to eliminate them. If you know or can contact one or more of the owners of this site personally I urge you to do so . Other than that it is pretty good site for us, the lovers of the game of Bridge. thank you and pass it on tabhzbb
