teasipper Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I am having problems also. All I get when I try and run Brige Base is the Welcome Box. ANy ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Teasipper, Please try to take a picture of what you see when you enter BBO, and email me. rain at bridge base . com (remove the spaces, etc) http://www.bridgebase.com/help/english/scrnsnap.htmlThis is how you take a screenshot. If you have a digital camera, you can use that to take a picture too. If all you need are basic features (normal play at free tables, ACBL tourneys, etc) you can also try BBO FLASH. It's pretty workable now, despite still being in beta. http://www.bridgebase.com/v2beta/ --------------My first thought is you got a new BBO interface and don't recognise how to use it. 2nd thought is, you forgot your old name and BBO with your new name doesn't look the same. Anyway please send a picture so I know what you're looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serissa1 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I have had this problem since two days now, sometimes in the mornings it works, but mostly when I needed that is in the evening I get in to the table lists and then I get the message from Microsoft asking me if I want to report the bug, I am 70 years old and I really don't understand all this port thing, please BBO do somethingFay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyloo Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Three days now, I have had problems being booted from acbl tourneys. today 3 tourneys in a row where I was booted and couldn't get back in, as TD was so busy trying to calm everyone else. As I only play in ACBL tourneys, I shall find something else to do and call in occasionall to find out if BBO is functioning properly. I know its not me as half the field is usually red when I am booted. My Internet is working perfectly well. I hope you get it working soon as I am an ADDICT!!!

barmar Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I can't get in this afternoon, using BBO Flash. I click on Login and it says "Connection Lost". I'm not having any other problems with my connection; I just went to speedtest.net and got fine results (18Mbps down, 6Mbps up). I was able to login using CrossOver Mac and BBO Win, but it took at least a minute to login. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceOfHeart Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am stuck at the Loading Player List. Please wait. For like 2 days already. The symptoms is that the player list will load very fast by 200s till 4800 or so then stopped. Occasionally(maybe once in 20 retries) it managed to load till 7000+ players and actually complete the loading of players and proceed to get stuck at the loading tables part.

uday Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 try the web version at www.bridgebase.com and see if you can get online with that. about being unable to get on with the windows version of bbo: some isps throttle connections on port 9999 ( which is what the windows version of bbo uses by default ) There is an alternate port you can try edit c:\bridge base online\bbover.ini change the host to altport.bridgebase.comchange the port to 80 save the file. try to login . Or contact support@bridgebase.com and reference this post if you need more detailed directions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miriam1987 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I hope someone can help me.I'm living at a student campus at the moment and I can't log in to BBO (in both the downloadable program and BBO via internet). I do have an internet connection. I tried to modify BBover already (with all the suggestions in this thread), but it still fails to log in. In the downloadable program, it's stuck at the "logging in please wait" screen. In the internet progam, it keeps logging in until it gives me a message that says that the connection is broken. Can you help me to fix this problem? I really want to play Bridge... Thanks!Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 To enter via the new version of BBO (web), try this: http://www.bridgebase.com/client/client.php?port=80 Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Flash has gone crazy. First few times I tried signing in I went from the userid/password screen to a blank screen.3rd or 4th time I signed on ok but when I clicked tournaments - substitues I get a white screen with an exclamation mark in a circle in the middle of the screen! Oh maybe someone took my comments 'I dont play in tournaments any more and I am trying to give up signing up as a sub' seriously and this is a reminder for me to go and do something useful :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexlogan Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 The old version of BBO (client?) won't run anymore on my Windows XP PC; it locks up at the news window. The web version does not allow any restrictions on viewing tables as far as I can tell; I am used to restricting tables to Western Hemisphere and English-speaking countries, mostly to try and limit things to a manageable number. The main bridge club is simply unusable IMO; you cannot view any information about a table before clicking to join, and even clicking fails because the screen updates before you can react fast enough to click. I don't find BBO useful for casual bridge games anymore; it's fine for Vugraph, partnership bidding practice, and arranged foursomes. I would appreciate fixing the BBO client or adding options to make the table list manageable in the Web version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 There haven't been any changes to the old version of BBO. Have you made any changes to your PC software? Since you said it happens when it tries to display the news, have you changed anything related to Internet Explorer, which is used to display the news?

doug361 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Can' log in using Internet Explorer - just started today; fortunately I can log in using old version of AOL. Can anyone advise ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 What happens when you try? A new version of Flash came out a couple of days ago, make sure you've updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mink Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Both forums and BBO itself was not accessible from here around 11 a.m. local time, which is UTC+2. Am I the only one affected? Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 We didn't have any other reports of problems, and our usage graph looks pretty normal, so I suspect it was a localized routing problem with your ISP. When you have trouble connecting to a web site, http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is a good resource to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I could not access the forums website at around 9:00pm EDT last night (May 28). I didn't try to access the site until this morning, and all is well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
