PhilG007 Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I've just had a message flashed up on my screen from software provider Adobe saying their Flash Playeris ending on December 31st 2020. Will this affect BBO? If so,will there be a replacement/substitute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 This has been known for years so most browsers are also ceasing support of Flash Player in their next release or update. Some, like Microsoft Edge, will allow to use Flash Player on a site-by-site basis even though it is disabled by default. BBO moved away from using Flash Player by default a long time ago although it still makes this version of the client available. So if you go to bridgebase.com and login to play, you will not be using Flash unless you click on 'Click here for the old, Flash version'. The Android and Apple apps do not use Flash.

Is there any way to get the old setup back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
