What has happened to the BBO is a disgrace. I have been trying for days to find the site I usually play on without success. What a shame........

Seems like a waste of time to post anything on this forum.

Dear Sirs: Thank you for the BBO. It is a great way for the partially deaf to be able to play bridge. Two questions: 1: When a player leaves, sometimes it is a long while before another joins and I fall asleep. Could a loud sound be added when the new player joins??? 2: I could not use your email address to ask this question. I use Gmail.

Thanks for any help. My Windows 7 computer is down. I tried to get on the BBO using this Linux computer and failed. First of all Adobe Flash Player won't compile on the Linux Ubuntu-mate OS. The BBO start screen won't even let me sign in. Or am I doing something wrong!!!!!

Thank you for the BBO. Just info: Chrome and Internet Explorer 11 don't like each other. I went back as far as I could go with IE 8. Best I could do. Now the hassle with IE has gone away. When I sign on the BBO I have to go to Options every time to set the BBO the way I like it. It there a way to make those changes permanent? I would like to be able to hover over my name and be able to see my profile. Would like very much to have a rose and a wilted rose for Ops making or losing the bid. I think it adds a sense of humor to the game. I am on the new software. Regards, Jack Shankle (counter13)

Thank you for the BBO. Stats: Windows 7 pro 64-bit, Internet Explorer 11, latest BBO software, ISP: Opticaltel in Florida Everything else is working except the BBO. I have read where this has been going on for years. I really don't want the extra baggage of Chromium, as I can't get rid of Internet Explorer and I am not fond of Chromium. Thanks for any help.

Sorry fromageGB my browser is chrome. When I request the BBO it asks me to install the Flash Player. Being new to Ubuntu, I downloaded Flash Player and I have no idea where it puts it. Then I have to expand it. I am not a fan of flash player. Thank you for helping.

Thanks for responding fromageGB and helene_t. Running Gmail under chrome Ubuntu Mate - mate v 1.12.1 Ubuntu v 16.09 I also don't like Flash Player..... I kind of need details how to get into the online BBO. Ubuntu is the problem.... I usually go on the BBO with windows 7 pro 64-bit. The puter I am sending this message from is also 64-bit.

Dear Sirs: My windows puter is down. Am trying to play on wiffies puter on Ubuntu. I can't get past Adobe flash player. Knowledge of Ubuntu is sparse to say the least. So I am in deep withdrawal as I can't play bridge!!!! Flash player is on Ubuntu somewhere as .tar program. I downloaded it yesterday. If you move this message I'll never be able to find it. Thanks for any help.

I guesds I am doomed to play bridge with NO sound.

Thanks for replying. I viewed netsounds and that didn't solve my problem. Yes the items under sound are highlighted and that doesn't give me any sound either.

For quite awhile now I have been unable to get any sound when playing the BBO. Sound works for other things. Running: Windows Vista Sandboxie ESET SS Sound is needed as it wakes me up when it's my turn to play. Thanks for any help

Thanks all for replying. I have downloaded the latest program "Playonlinux" from the repository. NOW WHAT do I do???? I don't think "playonlinux" was intended to be used for an online program like Bridge Base Online. Tell me if I am wrong.

Hi Anne, Sorry posted in the wrong place.

Thank you for responding. I am under the impression that downloading a program in any Linux distro is a nono. Your supposed to go to use synaptic and load what you find there. I'm pretty sure "Flash Player" is not my problem. The Linux distro "PCLinuxOS" is using version 10.0.32.18-1pclos2009. There is no reference to "Flash Player when clicking on "Play Bridge" in the Linux version. I've tried "Playonlinux" but can't seem to get the latest version or figure out how to use it. Last time I played bridge using the Linux version I had to quit as I was causing to much trouble for the other players.
