pirate22 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 As i do not have an account yet with BBO,at presentI only play free tourneys, When one registers,early and input ones name for a partnerto invite-and sometimes entering with say 5 mins to the offthere is a long list of also pards looking.......... A suggestion is it possible to asterisk a friend.example if one of my friends has a handle of "apple" could this be displayed apple* so when scrolling the listand looking, there might be 2/3 fiends on the list....

Hi Pirate, On the web version friends appear in purple on the list of players looking for a partner. Also if you have created categories, the color code will be visible there, so you can see immediately whether you wish to partner someone or not. I don't think there will be any changes to the older version, so you should give the web version a try :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate22 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Ty for reply-however you have slightly missed my point,Yes -i have created a list of friends,not many enemies,and when i enter site up comes the list of friends in Blueon the RH side..my point is now i go and click watch and play..and then click "Free Touneys" and there is a tourney in say 5 mins,so i register and enter my name,then have to close ,to go to friends listed and strt R/H clicking,some are plying in another tourney.{dunno what time they will finnish}--more time wasted,back to registratiuon,my name is there,along with a long list alphabetical,so one startsl/h cllicking to see their profile,more time wasted,lo and behold,when i get down to the M's,there is a friend,so i enter their name register and await,Success.we are paired.my suggestion,is on this list,can an asterisk be put by their name,so one can scroll looking for a name with an asterisk.or the name undelined-it would stand out. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate22 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 P.S. Hate the new format,somewhat confusing,but having used what is termed as the "OLD" for 5 years,I know the ropes, and i realise BBO wants to improve,so eventualy it will be phased out. and the ole dog will have to relearn..

diana_eva Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I don't think I missed your point. The list of players looking for a partner (the partnership desk) on the web version keeps the same color code as the old version's lobby. So if you access the Partnership desk, your friends are colored in purple, while the neutrals are not. You can see immediately which of your friends have added their name to that tournament's partnership desk. I realize that there are many people who love the older version - i still love it too - but most of the bugs / features / issues signaled so far have been addressed on the latest version. This is how it should be, things go forward. We can continue to use the older version and accept its limitations, or move to the web version and see how the new features work.

barmar Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 pirate22, please get used to the fact that BBO has decided NOT to make any changes to the old version, except to fix critical problems. If you prefer it, you have to live with it as it is. All improvements are only being made to the web version; there's no point in making suggestions if they only apply to the download version, they're not going to do it.

pirate22 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 The replies so far have re-educated me,to take up the new version,and suffer,somewhat "Barmar" put it in a nutshell .thats why im changeing today, no longer am i under the impression now, that one can INPUT suggestions to improve the old system, but assume one can for the new Version. Hooray for the Forum,and individual Subjects regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
