uday Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 bug; reported to Fred G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 It is fixed now - see the last point in this thread for details: Link to 4.9.2 Thread Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Fred, The smiles/frowns looks very smooth and crisp here. It also "feels" better for lack of a better word. The ads were not overly distracting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rona_ Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I have 4.9.2. The chatbox disappears when someone is making a bid if I happen to be typing at that time. Every few minutes I hear a click and my computer seems to be working but nothing happens, except my chatbox disappears again. I see no ads, neither in the lobby or in the room, not that I want to :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blofeld Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I liked the new stars and locks a lot, but I'm not so keen on the smilies. I don't really mind their use instead of the heart and club symbols, but that's only because one doesn't meet that much - I did think the old symbols looked quite a lot better. I really don't like their appearing in text, though. I tend to like the simple 'making smilies' with text, but graphical versions seem very intrusive[1]. Perhaps there could at least be an option to turn them off? I know that I can get around it by forming my smilies slightly differently (e.g. :~), :)) ), but I don't really want to see them when other people use them either. Perhaps I'm being a little harsh here. I think I particularly mind because I don't like the style of the smilies ... they're too cartoonish and 'cute'. [1] Well, most graphical versions. The Google Talk ones recognise things as smilies and highlight them, but keep them as text. That seems a much nicer system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please do an experiment and try using BBO is narrow mode for a while and let me know if the problem persists. You can switch between wide and narrow modes with Control-W.

uday Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Also, does the chatbox vanish just when the ad refreshes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Also, does the chatbox vanish just when the ad refreshes? it does for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rona_ Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I tried again but couldn't make it happen ..however the ads must have been removed because they didn't refresh and I don't see the notice in the lobby that I cannot connect to whatever ad I was supposed to see. The game in the main bridge club was normal :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yes I think I noticed weird things too when ad refreshes. If you're exiting vugraph or whatever table and go back to main lounge just as ad refreshes it (ad) doesn't seem to load right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdoty Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 My chat box gets hijacked when an ad refreshes also. :( It would be great if that could be tweaked, since it's a bit disruptive. (I use the wide screen format -- haven't tried it in the narrow view.) Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJNeill Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hi,When I scroll the chat area when watching a table, using large chat font, the far right fourth of the chat remains the same as it was for about 1 second, and only then does it catch up with the scrolled chat on the left area. Also, suggestion - option to turn off emoticons - I think all IM programs make that optional. Even this forums has that option. Thanks,Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks,Dan Thanks - I will fix this scrolling chat problem in the next version. I will also add an option for emoticons. We (mostly Uday) are still working on the problems that result from the refreshing of ads.

Elianna Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I don't remember this happening before, but I was playing in a teamgame, and a kibbitzer made a statement to the lobby, and it showed up to the whole table. This seems rather undesirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
