How to upload Lin files into BBO?

[Cailel]

I want to use the bidding and practice tables with my partners to work on parts of our system. To that end I've created LIN files to upload into my deal archive folders to use. I can't get this to work. I'd love to know what I am doing wrong. Here are the steps I'm taking:

 

Launch google chrome

go to bridgebase.com

click "play bridge now"

click "log in"

select practice

select bidding table

all options off except permission required to play and invisible

opponents bidding controlled by host

click "start table"

 

select account tab on far right

select "deal archive"

click "+" sign to create new folder

click pencil symbol to rename "untitled" to "testing overcalls"

select "testing overcalls"

"select deal" appears middle of window

click "import lin file"

new window appears

click "Choose file"

select "overcallsmixyellow13.lin"

click "open"

"overcallsmixyellow13.lin" appears in source file field in Import Lin file window

Click import

New field appears with yellow background: Source file(OvercallMixyellow13.lin)-> 12 games were successfully uploaded into folder:Testing overcalls for username:cailel

Select "x" to close window

 

No new deals appear in the folder "testing overcalls"

 

I have also tried importing a lin file with the deal archive folder selected without being at a table. No luck there either.

 

Edit: If I reload the bridgebase website after uploading then the deals appear. So it's a matter of not displaying before reload.

This is a known bug in the HTML version, it's on our to-do list to fix. Logging out and in is the workaround.

Thank you for letting me know and thank you for working on it. :)
