Installed and ready to go (I just had to reboot to get the buttons).

Will try it this afternoon, thanks :)

Hi Stan, this is a brilliant idea. Problem is we play a Polish Club where the descriptions can be long, it's posting them automatically into the message screen for the table where my partner can also see them. Unfortunately this is breaking the rules and this is not allowed at bridge. How do I stop it doing this? The users can scroll the longer descriptions so it's not necessary to do this.

Select 'Opponents' and not 'Table' as chat destination. If you want to chat with the 'Table' from time to time, open the second chat channel : Messages Tab + Chat and select 'Table'

 

I would suggest you to join the BBOalert users on Facebook. It is the best place to ask any questions : https://www.facebook.com/groups/706384146770707/

It seems insane to me that alerts are not associated with a specific partner. Is there any way to at least limit bboalert to working with certain partners?

I twice installed it and then deleted it.

 

I played, I Alerted, and there was no visible change in the GUI for BBOAlert.

 

Is there some sort of user's manual so that I can at least understand what all the parts of the GUI actually mean and how to tell if anything is happening?

I don't understand it very well, but am playing with it.

 

Yes, you can put all your calls under an option - partner tag, and it will only be used for that partner. I think the author believes that 90% of your Alerts will be common, and you can take out the exceptions into the partner tags. As someone whose three main partnerships are:

• K/S with two major conventions unplayed by anyone else he knows;
  
• Pretty standard Flight A 2/1; and
  
• Precision with variable NT (and variable NT system), asking bids, and Bergen

yeah, not so much. Separate files with include options would work better for me.

 

Yes, there is a manual (any of the author's posts here will have the link). Unfortunately to my reading, he thinks the UI is obvious, and 95% of it is "install", "learning mode", and "structure of the file". While all of that is necessary, the assumption is not correct.

Haven'T tried yet. But looks great. Well done indeed and thx for your efforts.
