barmar Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I like to bookmark the login page so I don't have to go through a separate "Click here to play or watch" page, and I've had to update the bookmark every time you announced a new version (and sometimes when you didn't bother to announce it, like last week's v16). Once you release this for real, are you going to stick with a consistent URL that we can bookmark? Only if we can figure out how to also guarantee that people will get the latest version when they visit that URL. Our current inability to do this is making our lives harder too. Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com How about a URL that simply sends a redirect to whatever the current version is? If not, can you at least display a warning if someone loads an old version? It's annoying having to check www.bridgebase.com periodically to see if the version number has changed. Barmar - the number of keystrokes you have used to complain about this is probably less than the number of massively inconvenient 2nd clicks that you will need to launch the Flash client a couple of times a day for an entire year. I said we would do something about this when we can figure out how. This is the last time I will respond to your posts on this subject. Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com I'm sorry if you interpreted my response as badgering, I thought I was being constructive. I admit that I don't know much about Flash, but I do know PHP, and think my suggestion can be applied in the PHP script before the Flash client is invoked. Besides having to go through multiple clicks, I don't like the way the link on the home page opens up a huge new window and disables the standard browser toolbar (the beta page used to have "Open BBO Flash in this window"). I don't like portal pages in general, my bookmarks are my "portal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb79 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Not sure if this is reported but there seems to be a bug in the vugraph version of bboflash (bbotv.com/vugraph). While kibbing a table, if you click the rectangle showing the running score (left bottom in the green area), the right frame (that shows detailed results) turns to a blank white frame, and it can't be restored unless you logoff and rejoin. This both happens in IE and firefox browsers. In the regular version, there's no problem when you click that rectangle, it shows the other table's results.

geppe Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 hi allsorry if my english is very poor.a few weeks that I use bboflashmy system: ubuntu 8.04 & firefox 3.0 on a Dell Inspiron 1525 notebookall seems running well, but- sometimes the window of bbo remain hanging, and all is blocked, i have to shut down the pc... but i'm not able to reproduce this behaviour- when i start bboflash from the link in www.bridgebase.com, the windows occupy all the display (also the panel bars), and there is no choice (as there was before) to decide how many space give to bbo...- when i play in a team match, i'm not able to see the names of the other table players until they have played the first hand; and i haven't find a way to chat with the people at the other table (in bbowin there was the "tournament" voice on the chat menu) thanks for your very good work. geppe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant590 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 When viewing vugraph it seems the position of NSEW in the main window is the same as the way it was when you last played. For instance, I recently played in a teams match sitting east, so during the team match East was at the bottom of the screen. Now I watch vugraph and east is still at the bottom of the screen, but the movie at the bottom right of the screen still has south at the bottom. I think either south should always be at the bottom of vugraph, else keep the main screen in the same direction as the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I was using "Manage Friends", and I clicked on one of the names and it said "Not found". When I then clicked on Delete, nothing happened. Closing and reopening the Manage Friends window cleared up the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtwilliams Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I cannot stay connected -- I receive the login prompt with the notice Connection Lost after a couple of minutes of kibitzing a game. I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 on Fedora 7. My firewall allows all outgoing connections. Can you suggest a debugging approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyrocky Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 All, I don't know if this is a BBOFlash issue, but this happened to me a second time this morning. I'm on an Intel Mac running Tiger, playing BridgeBase via Firefox. I think I won the tourney (money was deposited into my account), but BBO displayed something a little different. I can't figure out how to put a file screen shot in this post (help with that welcomed, too), so it has been mailed to fred@bridgebase.com, but the Flash results of the tourney claim the "winner" has 3.25 IMPs, as does second place, and then players are grouped by twos, with scores in mostly negative multiples of 0.25. This has happened to me once before, playing Sky Club #926 one week ago, 8/9/08, at the same time as this tourney, and odd scores were posted. I can send you a screen shot for that tourney if you like. - Rich (heyrocky on BBO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Rich, It wasn't an issue with the web version of BBO, but it was a real issue, one that has been lurking about undetected for a while. Only web-versions were affected, when viewing some Indy tourney leaderboards. The prizes/points etc were not affected. The fix will roll into service on Monday. Thanks for the catch.

andych Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Appears that the team match capabilities is weaker than BBOWIN. Could not right click to add players? Is there a summary of difference between BBO FLASH & BBO WIN? :) :) I switched to Vista and seems the BBO display is nicer than in XP making me more willing to switch to BBO FLASH. :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallway Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Do all new BBO members having joined BBO since end June 08 (and are only using the BBOFlash ) have to go back to bridgebase.com and download the Windows version in order to be able to view the Bridge Movies in the BIL Library ?

helene_t Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have a minor problem scrolling in the friends list. If I am at the bottom of the list and new friends arrive, they will be below the bottom but I cannot scroll further down. Scrolling up and then down again resolves the issue.

uday Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have a theory The message will be corrected during the next software upgrade ( cpl of days ). It was caused by an error we made during the process of preparing the web bbo for multilingual support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the bug report, Helene. So far I have been unable to replicate this, but I have been trying with the list of stars because I don't have very many friends :) If you get a chance can you please try to do some more experimenting (including trying the list of stars) and let me know if you learn anything?
