geofspa Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 :- Is it me or has the amount of tourney "advertising" in the general lobby becoming excessive. I like to concentrate on the bridge I am playing or kibbing and find that the constant tourney messages can be a little annoying. As I have general lobby chat on ignore I find it surprising that so many tourney messages come through, although I do understand that Fred, Uday and those behind the scenes may need to contact us to let us know of immediate system maintenance needs. I also understand the need for tourneys to be advertised, but when in the main lounge I get a list of 1st 2nd 3rd ..... and so on it does seem a little much. Maybe this would be better sent to the tourney lounge. OK rant over ... thanks to all at BBO for a great site which is only becoming better with time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 This is a good place for the rant :)I think I announce the winners and second place. Maybe I'll restrict myself to first place :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsb Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 at least Geofspa was telling this in a very good manner and it's nice :) , unfortunatly it's not like that all the time i was nearly "insulted" some day because of sending 3 messages in the Lobby about annoucemnt of tourney (i had a very bad day so i really didn't appreciate that at all but that's not the main point ... ). then next tourney i did, i have decided not to write anything in Lobby, i had 3 messages tellign me "how come u don't tell us about the tourney i didn't notice and didn't come to play" !!! . Anyway i understand that message can be annoying , as for now i have decided that i just put one annoucment about the tourney and one message to tell the winner , nothing more . I don't know what solution we can find about it and if there's one solution ... btu i'm waiting if someone can find one regardssyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I think that a small change in the client is the solution.Let's have the chat area only for chat messages to/from the lobby or the table.And add a small one-liner area at the top where BBO directors and admins can post notifications. It would be nice to make that are a horizontal-scrolling area. Tourneys can be announced, special events like vugraph can be announced etc and without interferring with the chat.It can be used to announce new versions, lessons about to start, etc etc. Just an idea,Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
