rmunson1 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Help pages are not dated, so I don't know the vintage of the information found here:Making a bridge movie In any case, once upon a time, it was possible to (re)construct a hand in handviewer format. With the recent removal of all history, it would be nice to be able to reconstruct history. If that is still possible, please advise how. The details in the help document (linked to above) describe features that are not currently a part of BBO. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The details in the help document (linked to above) describe features that are not currently a part of BBO. Thanks. We all share your pain about scanty and largely obsolete documentation of BBO.But if you are writing here in a web page you can easily construct and insert a hand in handviewer format right now by simply clicking the icon that looks like a spades symbol (when you are done remember to click "Insert Diagram"). If you are looking in History at a hand you already played you can Export it as a link to a page in handviewer formatlike this. You can also use Export to invoke Hand Editor, which enables you to construct a hand although I don't see how to reconstruct the current hand (this is evidently a bug of either my brain or the current HTML5 client, which cannot yet do everything the deprecated Flash client was capable of).

Curls77 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 As so many good things V2 (flash version) had and are omitted in V3 (html), there is no way edit, alter and save the played hand. Nor you can save bunch of hands u watched at teacher's table, but instead gotta do 5 clicks to save one by one. I am sure the recording of altered hand is somewhere on bbo's to-do list, but so far they have not done even minor requests members asked, as chat color, while doing all other "improvements", who knows when this will come to top to be fixed. There are external sources as aabridge or dummy solver to get around it, but neither is too user friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 If the objective is just to be able to capture the hand from BBO and then both edit and play double dummy you can do this with the brilliant 'Bridge Solver Online' add-on to Chrome. But if you want it to remain in handviewer format to share on BBO or in this forum that does not help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 This is a fun tool for creating hands and passing the links around: https://blog.bridgebase.com/2020/05/10/visual-handviewer-editor/ It's not linked anywhere on BBO as far as I know, not even sure where I have the link from (was ages ago). But it works, so there you are :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
