cloverenge Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I am looking for help using BBOalert. Does anyone have their Convention card set up in a Google Doc so it can be exported into BBOalert? I have started but I can't tell if it is working correctly. Would it be possible to get a copy of yours? Or just some instruction about how to write the alerts. I'm not entirely sure where I need commas, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I was just in a hurry. I'll give it a try in any case as soon as I can play on BBO with a partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanmaz Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 When I follow this procedure, I get BBOalert 2.10: no valid data found in....Are you sure, you clicked 'Raw' after you clicked at the system file of your choice ? Normally you should get something like this page (I selected Ambra as example) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stanmaz/BBOalert/master/Systems/Ambra.txt If you select all text (Ctrl-A) and copy it (Ctrl-C) and 'Import' you will get : 2949 records imported The valid BBOalert data is recognized by the BBOalert keyword at the beginning of the file. Two more remarks : - the actual version is 3.0.2. Installation links :https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bboalert/bjgihidachainhhhilkeemegdhehnlcfhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bboalert/- the users group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/706384146770707/ is the appropriate place to ask any questions and to be informed about new releases.
