Version 3.6.6 Available for Testing


Recommended Posts

You can update your BBO:

 

3.6.6 Update

 

or download the whole thing again:

 

3.6.6 Setup

 

In either case, please make sure you have exited the

BBO program COMPLETELY before you download.

 

Version 3.6.6 is mostly about bug fixes. As far as I can

tell, the evil problem with the lobby/tables/tourneys

button is now fixed. Thanks to all the people who helped

me out here (especially keylime and sfbp).

 

There are 3 new features:

 

1) Wide screen toggle now available through View menus.

You can still use Control-W for this function.

 

2) Chat font toggle now available through View menus.

You can still use Control-F for this function.

 

3) When you exit the BBO program your filter settings are

not remembered by default anymore. If you want BBO to

remember your filter settings, there is a new checkbox in

the window that is used for editing your user profile

("Remember filter settings" is its name).

 

Please let me know if you find any problems, either by a

forums post or by e-mailing fred@bridgebase.com.

 

Our plan is to start another automated upgrade within the

next couple of days. We normally do not like to schedule

2 automated upgrades so closely together, but we judged

that the lobby/tables/tourneys bug was serious enough to

justify this decision.

Unlike v 3.3.5 in 3.3.6 scroll bar for tables disappear again. In 3.3.5 I had some strange vibrating of scroll bars while at bottom with strange relation to chat blocking.

In theory I have stopped the strange vibrating in 3.6.6.

 

Is anyone with that version seeing the vibrating?

 

About the tables scrollbar disappearing, can you please

describe the cirumstances under which this happens?

Does refreshing the BBO display (say by minimizing

and then restoring the client) make it reappear?

Hello,

the bug that I have found is still here!

When I reduce the BBO window (using the windows - button, top right of the screen) and open it again, the bar with back table....... help buttons

comes on top of the screen instead of its normal place.

Best regards,

Sylvain

Can you please tell me:

 

1) What version of Windows are you running?

 

2) What is your screen resolution?

 

To the best of my knowledge you are the only person

who has reported this bug. If anyone else has seen this

happen, please let me know.

Another quality effort from quality people...

 

A small favor - when will the purging of "empty" clubs begin? Would help with the cluttered nature of the screen right now....

Hi Fred,

 

I am running bbo on Windows 98 and every time I touch the buttons on the right side of the table bbo crashes ... no answer to any command ... I can only exit with cntl+alt+canc. The chat buttom remains yellow while the other buttom I have selected is yellow, too. So I cannot see the lobby while playing and i cannot check tournments (this will improve my bridge alot but it is annoying).

I did not notice this problem on 3.6.5.

 

I have tried to change screen resolution but does not help.

 

Hope you will solve it

 

Kisses

Recurring bug in 3.6.7:

 

BBO screen covers the left 60% of my 1600x1200 screen (Windows XP Home ed.). Periodically (at least ten times during the 2-hour tourney) last night, the BBO screen suddenly turned white except for the title bar at the top, and covered 100% of the screen. Usually there is now a pause of 5-20 seconds and all returns to normal, but several times the delay was longer and I had to end the BBO program using Task Manager and return.

 

When the screen goes white I can click the minimize button and the screen minimizes, or double click the title bar and the BBO window resizes back to the regular size but stays white. Usually this seems to happen while I am copying text from a text editor into a chat box for tournament announcements, but I do that a lot so this may be just an impression.

 

Other than this, of course, the new additions have been fantastic. I've always thought that the BBO screen was the easiest to intuitively navigate of all the bridge sites I have seen, and the improvements do not detract from this at all.
