BBO version

Hi vesee and welcome to the forums.

 

Version 5.2.21 is the latest.

 

It was last updated several years ago.

 

Do not expect it to be updated again (unless something critical happened that resulted in it being completely broken), as the management is committed to migrating away from this method.

Why did the management decide not to update and depart from using this version?

Because maintaining two versions requires more programming resources than one version. The old version had many fundamental design problems, and it only works on Windows. The new version is designed more efficiently, and works on all common types of personal computers.

 

And now we have the mobile version to deal with, too.

I have difficulties seeing the web based version myself, and I have a friend that still cannot use it at all.

I had problems too with the visibility until they gave more options. You can change the setup in the web based version that cards are shown bigger and same for chat.

Just curious, but do you (or your friend) use the "lifelike" pictures of cards when you try to view the web based version, or do you use the "diagram mode"? For many I think that this is the source of their woes. But yours may be different.

My biggest issue, and has been "forever", is that sound is a binary option. Many of the sounds are really really annoying and get so within a minute. Some, however, are really really useful, and I wouldn't mind having them...if I didn't have to have the MIT cardwash torture along with it.

The problem is that the cards and the bidding are out of proportion. When I make it all bigger to see the bidding, the cards become really big. This is a windows xp 2002 that I use.

I also tried in the web based version playing with robots, but ads float across the top and the cards and bidding are really microscopic and not in color.
