csdenmark Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I played first time today using FD. Unfortunately looks like nobody but me was able to see FD-cc. No information sent, no aut. bids and kibs was also unable to see cc. I press 'use' button several times but nothing seems to happen. What am I doing wrong?

inquiry Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 You have to press teh "use" button. When you load your CC to the table, you will see a message sent to the table by the software that says NS (if you are NS, otherwise EW) are using a new convention card. Until you press use, you can look at it if you want, but it is not loaed to the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdenmark Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Thank you Ben. Once I have tried to test in a teaching mode. Then I got the message of NS vs ES. By that time I accepted and tried to see if I received any messages but unfortunately not. I played all 4 seats. I have never been able to have the confirmation message to ordinary table. I have wondered. I press the green 'CONV' button - then choose 'working card' and Bidedit application open. Then I on 'Bidedit application' press 'USE'. Nothing happens. I assumed it was OK but it looks like it is not. Something must be in it as it cannot be own card on my PC I watch as the card shuts down when I disconnect.

fred Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I you send me a copy of the file in question as an e-mail attachment (fred@bridgebase.com), I will check it out. Several other FD-related bugs have been reported (no big surprise). Special thanks to DJNeill and MickyB for helping me get to the bottom of these problems. I have to go to a tournament tomorrow, but I am going to try to release a new beta version before I go. Besides bug fixes this version will contain a nice surpirse :) Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdenmark Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I have just made a new complete download of BBO. Now it is working differently. I can load all of the convention cards default from BBO but none of my own ones. I am not quired for anything but table gives this message: -> TABLE: NS using a new convention card. When I now hit the green CONV button I have a new option - to look NS convention card. Therefore it looks now as I am able to load a cc. Why am I not able to load my own ones? Do they need to be uploaded to WEB by me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Why am I not able to load my own ones? Do they need to be uploaded to WEB by me? I have no idea and if I don't know chances are that nobody else does either. That is why I asked you to send me a copy of one of the files you are having trouble with. Then I can find out the answer to your question. Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_U_Card Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Is it just me, or isn't this kinda like having Bill Gates help me with installing my printer in Windows?....;-) This place is the greatest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 sent 1 minute ago Fred :-) The problem turned out to be the location of these files on Claus's hard disk. Not sure exactly why this was a problem, but when he moved the files to: c:\bridge base online\convcards\csdenmark (csdenmark is his ID on BBO) everything was OK. Eventually I will figure out what is going on here and do something about it, but for now I suggest that you save the FD files you create in the corresponding place on your hard disk.
