When I log on and someone chats to me, if his/her name is not preceded by the suffix "(automated)" I can subsequently click his/her name in the chat box to have it in the destination field. But as soon as I have clicked someone whose name takes the suffix, the feature doesn't work anymore since

myfriend (automated)

becomes

ated)

and subsequently all other names will be messed up as well, for example

myfriend: hi Helene how are you?

will give a destination like

end: hi He

 

It looks as if some index variable that indicates which substring of a chat line should go to the destination field does not get reinitialized at the prober place.

I was staying at my brother's last week and noticed that he had a similar problem with the BBOflash failing to log in during a busy time (12000 logged on) whereas the BBOwin connection was fine.

 

There is no commonality in our broadband connections, but we are both using wireless in the home.

You are right that an index variable is getting messed up, but it is an internal Flash variable (as opposed to one that I created) and it is the combination of using carriage-return+linefeed (or opposed to one of the other) that causes this variable to get messed up.

 

I was impressed by your theory of the cause of this bug so I thought you deserved a proper explanation :)

 

I figured this out a couple of week ago (after several hours of head-scratching). This fix will appear in the next version.

I observed Partner's alert for a fraction of a sec. Too short a time to capture a screen shot

Fred,

 

Here's a situation, and I'm trying to see if anyone has insight on this:

 

Ubuntu 8.04, new image, new everything, on the reliable NC8430. Able to get to the login prompt, but regardless of whether the "n" site or the "c" site used, it stalls at connecting to the BBO content.

 

Any ideas?

Hi Dwayne,

 

Sorry but I know almost nothing about Linux, but I do recall reading that it is important to have the latest version of Flash player in order to run BBOFlash under Ubuntu. You did say you have "new everything" but please check this.

 

Gerardo (our resident Linux expert) might have some other ideas...

 

A new and improved version of BBOFlash is coming soon (probably within 24 hours) so you might want to wait for the new version before spending a lot of time trying to get the old version to work (though it sounds like the problem you are experiencing is not directly related to BBOFlash).

There won't be any training rooms in our first official release, but I expect that at least some of BBO's educational facilities (notably Partnership Bidding) will be high on our list of things to do shortly after our first offical release.

Fred,

 

With the new BBOFLASH update, the new Ubuntu 8.04 clone I have is working perfectly now. I see the interface clearly and there is very low delay as well. Well done!

It seems that there are occasional problems with claims in BBO Flash.

 

On several occasions I have clicked the claim button, only to have the claim window fail to come up. This is not too bad in itself, but I cannot play a card or claim at this point (it's as if the claim window was on the screen but it is not). I can still chat however.

Fred,

 

Issue: In BBO Flash with my Linux box, when the player is in BRB mode or invisible mode and at the table, their name does not appear. Once they return to normal mode, their name shows up. Have duplicated on 1 other Linux box.

[A2003]

Zoom in function is working. after several zoom in, unable to retreat to the original view.

 

After the tournament is timed out and finished, the frame freezes at that position and still showing all the remaining unfinished tables.

Need to refresh to go back.

 

What is PIN?

 

East West cards are not spaced out to be visible. Spade and Hearts symbols are not fully visible.

There are lot of space between the name(USER ID) and club suit cards.

That space can be used to provide the space required for spade and hearts suit cards.

Or

"user ID box" can be lowered if needed.

 

Back - Home - Refresh button prefer to be in the bottom, got used to that familiar position.

Mouse is always looking for back button, sometimes in the bottom, sometimes in the top which is confusing.

hiya

 

Do you mean their name does not appear in a table list, or when at a table or something else? How can I replicate this?
