rona_ Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 opps ask for explanationwhile trying to type something back in like (!C!h or !s!d)other opp asks for explanationcausing no information availablenow opps are mad say bid not explainedget the picture???? I am almost certain that whilst you are typing an explanation if the other opponent clicks on the bid, he gets the response "pigpenz is answering the question" or something similar. I don't remember the exact words. So, no information available, usually comes out only when you close the box that asks you to explain.

1eyedjack Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 It is only a workaround, but I still quite like the OKscript and similar utilities. It means that the explanation goes to both opponents in a private chat message, rather than being attached to the bid (I did play around with setting the focus to the bidding window without success), but it does allow for a lengthy explanation to go to opps in a single click without delay.

Tola18 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 you can also chat directly to both opps, if this bothers you. I do sometimes, especielly if I suspect my partner forget to alert (he does sometimes, and we play an unusual club system with this partner).

sceptic Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I am curious here, should you not alert crash anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I am curious here, should you not alert crash anyway? Umm, I think he did alert it per OP.It was just that the explanation "ch or sd" was a bit cryptic and prompted a further (multiple) request for explanation.That's my reading of it, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_U_Card Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I always write in the text BEFORE I hit the bid button so they see it right away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
