koba Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have an awful lot of "friends" marked in order to enable me to find a suitable partner quickly.I do not want to be notified when each and every one logs in, but suggest we have 2 categories of "friends", adding a "special friends" category of people we chat with.I would want to be notified of the arrival of "special friends", not regular "friends".I would also like to see the friend login popup box moved to an out-of-the-way place, such as the right hand area of the chat box, rather than on top of the bidding box, where the frequent logins obliterate every bidding sequence at leat once.

uday Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm sure Fred G will agree with some of this, but I dont think this will make it to the top of his todo list anytime soon. What I can mention in the meantime is that the ESCape key dismisses the notification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badderzboy Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 A little trick is to use enemies as people you like to play with and friends as the tell me they've logged in . You can filter in the lobby on these anyway and it works well Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koba Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 A little trick is to use enemies as people you like to play with and friends as the tell me they've logged in . I also have a long list of enemies, people who are rude, terrible players, or leave in the middle of a hand, so I can avoid these. I will certainly try using the escape key.

What I can mention in the meantime is that the ESCape key dismisses the notification. I think it would be a very useful feature and not too difficult to implement. I would vote: move it up in the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adf Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Perhaps the terminology might be changed. "Friends" continues to work the way it does now, but there is a new category called "Partners." They show up at the beginning of the online list, after yellows and friends, but no popup when they sign on. An alternative would be to continue with just "Friends" but have a bunch of checkboxes:[ ] Notify on signon[ ] Allow in "friends-only" events[ ] Show at beginning of player list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarb Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Might it be possible to have the option of having your friends notification either be a "pop-up" notification, or perhaps just have the notification appear in your chat box with a unique color, say green?

Flame Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Id say putting it where it doesnt hide anything should come before anything else and im guessing its a matter of five minutes to make this. (just guessing)My previous remark could go on this thread too, make the newest login friend pop up above the old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hi Koba, welcome to the forum! Are you the same Koba as the one from the Dutch "Bridge" magazine? In that case I'm a fan of yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarb Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Or what about having the pop-up notification disappear after 5 seconds unstead of being visible until you hit escape? Oscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
