Curious about error message "exit completely"

Hi, I was just curious whether this message, something like "BBO internal error 330, exit completely and relogin" could have been affected by my having a web browser open while BBO was running, or whether that was totally irrelevant? It happened during a tournament, right when opponent claimed, fortunately I got back before being subbed...

Summary:

 

Whenever you disconnect from bbo uncleanly (anything but a normal log off ) the server now insists that you exit bbo completely before logging in again. The next client release will fix this, and we have a version that you can download if this bothers you. Contact me or post here if you care.

 

When you see this new message, exit BBO completely and restart the program and all will be well

 

 

 

 

Details:

 

The bbo program -- the "client" - appears to have a bug that sometimes triggers when it disconnects "uncleanly" from the server. Timeouts, admin boots, disconnections all create the situation where the bug might manifest.

 

When the bug shows up, the client does something ugly to the server. The server can't take this abuse (well, it sort of can, but I'd prefer to avoid it). To protect itself, the server only allows a second login from the same BBO session if the previous session terminated cleanly.

 

The bug has been fixed for the next release of the client; FG thinks this wont happen until Dec, and I agree (Estoril, ACBL NABC in Denver). Until then, this is all that the server can do to protect itself.

 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the quick info.

 

Since I very rarely have connection problems, I don't think this will be a problem for me, but thank you for offering a "fix".
