1eyedjack Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 The lack of a vertical scroll bar is not just limited to the top left pane of the opening screen after logging in (see earlier report in this thread and beta testing thread) If you click on "Masterpoints and Races" icon from within that pane, the next pane that opens repeats the problem.

mink Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I open "My BBO" - "Hands and Results" - "Recent Tournaments". Then I click on "My Hands" for some Daylong Tournament I have played. The list of "Other Tables" is simply too long to extract relevant information. It would be much better if for each result there is only one line where the number of occurrences of this result is displayed in addition to the current columns, and the bidding and play below is just an example of a table where this result was achieved. Maybe this way of displaying other tables should always be chosen above a threshold of 500 tables or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mink Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 In the "My Table"-list of a total points tourney the columns usually used for IMPs or MPs are empty. Maybe you could use them for displaying the average total points in this boards. So I would have a clue if my result is above or below average. It is not so important to have this information while the tourney is running, but I would like to have it when I study "My Hands" later.

If a line is for multiple results, it probably should be expandable, so you click on it and it opens up to show all the tables with that result, and you can then click on these to see the bidding and play.

Hiboard Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 There are several things about the new design that I do not like. Graphically, it is primitive, reminding me of the early days of web page design. I do not like it opening on news feed, but would rather have a default to "who's online". Perhaps each member can choose their preferred default. Finally, I question the need for new design...jut for the sake of change? sorry, it just doesn't work for me.

lycier Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Just now I logged in to BBO by client of English version.( Barmar teached me.)I saw Diana's Challenges, so I accepted it. However I joined the table and played normally several hands, suddently BBO server terminated our Challenges, removing me from the match table, I have no idea what had happened. http://i64.tinypic.com/15ztlj.jpghttp://i63.tinypic.com/xp9dgw.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLion Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 A new version of BBO was released today. This is Version 1.48r. Main changes are: NewsfeedChallengesFree Daylong TournamentsNew designFor details, see: http://www.bridgebas...n-148r-is-here/ Please post your suggestions/feedback here! The new design is Godawful! Liked the old one far better. Was much more visually well organized and far less of an eyesore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycier Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 http://i68.tinypic.com/2hpt4e0.jpg I think " Challenges" is a wonderful match. Here I have a question, I have no idea what " best hand " is. I think the challenges will become more interesting if I can challenge all my friends, so I would suggest :1- add a option : Challenge all my friends2- meanwhile add a option on limited time : 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours etc. More importantly, this will contribute to the activities of the bridge group.

barmar Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I never open it, don't know if it is normal.Since about a month ago, if you're not logged in when a tournament ends, so you can't get the popup results, BBO sends you mail with the results. When we added challenges, they were included in this. So if you finish a challenge first, and you're not logged in when the other person finishes, you'll get the result in mail.

heyrocky Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 It isn't a crucial bug, but when I opened the new version and clicked on the VuGraph button this afternoon, I found the display below: (Clicking on it shows a bigger image, at least on my Mac. I rarely, if ever, post images, obviously...) It should be needless to say, but when I enter a room, there is more than one kibitzer. When I return to the table list after being at a table (which is probably legacy code), the number of kibitzers is more accurate.

Rich I can't see your image, but if the vugraph was Bridge Winners Challenge Match, that's not a real vugraph. It's an online match artificially linked on vugraph to make it easier for kibs to join it. That 1 kibitzer is the vugraph operator. As soon as you click the Join button you are taken to the real match, which has more kibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I expect that old news feeds remain available to view, if you know the URL, despite that they no longer are linked from the main screen. I reckon that one of the tabs currently devoted to a news feed should be reassigned to a general "archived news feeds" link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Old news articles can be found at http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/news_taglist.php It's cumbersome, so we're probably not likely to make a link to it from the main application, but we don't have a problem sharing it when requested.

smerriman Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 How do the daylong tournaments actually work? I've entered them several times and was assuming other people played the same hands; but having just played the Total Points daylong, I had a look at the top scorer and discovered they won because they were served up two grand slam deals, and I wasn't, which seems a bit bizarre.

This reduces problems with cheating, since a friend could tell you about their boards, but most of your boards will be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I can see it helps with cheating, but it also makes the tournament rather pointless, does it not? You can't say one person should rank higher than another just because they got dealt a better hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 The expectation is that it will even out -- some players will get a better hand on board 1, other players get a better hand on board 2, and so on. People play rubber bridge for money, which is highly dependent on who gets good hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
