hrothgar Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Couple questions about the new software 1. How do I control / configure the sound effects?2. If I am playing a tournament and have finished a board, how can I see what contracts other people played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etha Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 You click just above bd number on the left and then other tables. Sound you can kill the annoying play a card sound by going into your account settings and sound is under general. There isn't much to configure but removing that is priority one. You can make chat speak by going to the same place but under chat rather than sound. I find if I review a board and then go back to it I sometimes have an odd bug if I work out exactly how I'll tell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 You can turn the sound effects on/off on an individual basis, by going into Account/Settings and then scrolling to the bottom of the list of settings. When you select a board in History, there is an "Other tables" button below the hand diagram. Probably we will try to make this more obvious at some point.

hrothgar Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks Got it figured out. FWIW, the new software currently feels weird to me, however, I suspect that is simply that I am used to the old Flash client.(Personally, I much rather have weird than Flash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfal Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Can we rotate the declarer to the south position after the auction is over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Can we rotate the declarer to the south position after the auction is over?You mean in Human Declare robot tournaments? We did this when we first added that feature, but people found it confusing because it meant that the auction no longer matched the positions of the players.

johnu Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 You mean in Human Declare robot tournaments? We did this when we first added that feature, but people found it confusing because it meant that the auction no longer matched the positions of the players. You mean some vociferous people found it confusing. I think most people find it confusing to not switch, and there would be no confusion if BBO displayed dummy in 4 suit columns like the laws of bridge specify. Since you had already added code to switch the hands, you could have added an option in settings so that the user could choose whether to switch or not.

Jyrki_63 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Where are all the missing parts? a panel for reviewing the auctiona link to the results of the earlier handsthe settings menu The view is very barren. I get a feeling that this would be fine, if I were accessing the site on a smartphone or another device with a small screen, but I am using a laptop with 18 inch screen. Don't like it at all. :angry: I was directed to BBO/v3 with the promise that there would be unlimited Daylongs. Didn't see them yet, either. What's the deal here?

42krunner Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Does it support voice on vugraph?Would that mean we can finally have that feature back on iPad by using the client and not the app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qiana Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I have played several tourneys and no doubt will get used to the interface but I must say unles i am missing some buttn the print is miniscule and people with compromised eyesight will be definitely at a disadvantaged. Trying to read table results is very difficult as is trying to see how others played the board. Also I wasn't able to register with a partner then go to entries to see p's profile prior to playing. Any help? Also can't see all12 bds at once w/o altering playing surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Where are all the missing parts? a panel for reviewing the auctiona link to the results of the earlier handsthe settings menuClick on the contract and the auction will be shown. Click on the box with the running score and previous hands will be shown. You can also use the History tab. Settings are in the Account tab. You'll need to widen the sidebar to be able to get to the tool to turn settings on and off.I was directed to BBO/v3 with the promise that there would be unlimited Daylongs. Didn't see them yet, either. What's the deal here?You're normally limited to 3 free daylongs each week, that limit is disabled if you use V3.

pipp314 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 does anyone else have a problem with 'fuzzy font' on new version. i think it must be a problem on my side, as no one else has mentioned it. Does anyone have any suggestions, to make the font clearer? Also, when i join a table, the 'table hands' show all historical hands, played at the table. would it be possible to limit this, to only the hands played only since one joins a table? many thanks for continually endeavouring to make BBO better for all.

This is the same in all versions. The table host decides when to clear the history for the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found them (other than free Daylongs, but didn't look for them, yet). I would rather use the screen real estate covered by friend's faces with this other stuff, but may be I figure out a way to do that :-) May be the semi-persistent problem with the chat hanging will be gone with this update? We'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thanks, Barmar. Found them (other than free Daylongs, but didn't look for them, yet).Free Daylongs are in Competitive -> Free Tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanR Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Click on the contract and the auction will be shown. This hides the dummy when West is playing the hand.I don't find this layout better than the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 This hides the dummy when West is playing the hand.I don't find this layout better than the old one.It's just intended to be temporary. You check the auction, then dismiss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAlison Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 This new version looks very like the app that is available for IOS. I don't like the app, and I don't like this either. If you retire the older version, I would expect my BBO play time to drop drastically. I really do not like the look and feel. I want simulated cards, and I don't care how much screen is wasted - nothing else will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 This new version looks very like the app that is available for IOS. It's the same program. It just has some layout changes to take advantage of more space on desktop screens.I don't like the app, and I don't like this either. If you retire the older version, I would expect my BBO play time to drop drastically. I really do not like the look and feel. I want simulated cards, and I don't care how much screen is wasted - nothing else will do.We don't have any choice about retiring the old version. As we keep pointing out, browsers will be removing Flash next year, and the old version requires it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenehan Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I really dislike the layout. The cards are too wide; I find it a strain for my eyes.Why can't the full table be shown, with cards of all 4 players lying on it, as in the Flash-Version?
