Gerben42 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hi, I just took this screen shot from Vugraph. There are less users listed than the number of viewers at the top. Also there is a empty piece of list at the end which corresponds to the "missing" viewers. What is going on here?http://www.geocities.com/gerben47/bridgebaseoddity.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 i know fred can come kib and not show up as even being visible, and i assume sheri and uday can... it's possible that other yellows can also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Correct. For obvious reasons 3 of my 4 accounts will always be invisible during vugraph broadcasts (Walddk2 gets plenty of private messages as it is). So I have probably been there. I count as a spectator but you can't see me. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Any invisible yellow can kibitz at any table and not be seen (except by other yellows at that table). It used to be the case that any invisible non-yellow kibitzer at any table would become visible to everyone at that table. About a year ago I made a change so that non-yellows could retain their invisibility when kibitzing at vugraph tables. Drawing a list of kibitzers involves the following steps: 1) figuring out the size of the background rectangle2) drawing the background rectangle on the screen3) drawing the line in the top left that displays the # of kibitzers4) drawing the names of visible kibitzers5) drawing the scroll arrows if appropriate The BBO client knows how many kibitzers are at the table, but it does not keep track of how many of these are visible. To do 1) properly, the client would have to either keep track of this information or figure it out at the time in which the user moves his mouse over the top left part of the table. Neither solution would be particularly difficult for me to implement, but given that almost all vugraph broadcasts almost always have enough visible kibitzers to make the rectangle at least one full column in size, the condition described in this thread is not very common. Besides that, it is not exactly what I would call a serious problem :) So know you know what is going on here.
