Yup.

I cannot kibitz a single player in Vugraph (or work out how to). I suspect you know this

The HTML5 version is great, but I get booted off periodically, like every 20 minutes or so. Happens regardless of whether I'm at a table or playing against bots. I'm using Safari, which tells me the page was reloaded "because a problem occurred", but doesn't specify what error.

When I open the browser console, there are a lot of errors listed, mostly complaints about cross-site scripting (likely related the ads), but none that seem fatal. Of course, once there's a fatal error I can't see it because it gets reloaded.

This happens on the iPhone app too, which I assume uses most of the same technology.

How do you get booted? You get a connection closed message and are returned to the login screen?

In the news -> mail section
the latest mail is at bottom and oldest at top.
believe it should be the other way round.

Safari says "This webpage was reloaded because a problem occurred" and brings up the login screen. I know that's not very helpful.

The system of self declared/proclaimed level:Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, World Class should be replaced by the actual accrued IMP.
When software finds you a spot on the table, it may from your imp match you with the average of the 3 other players. This system proposed will allow a natural and gradual progression of a player from Novice to higher levels.

The Current software is still not able to choose a table. In other words if you are watching a game and a player leaves, you cannot click on the empty space/sit to allow you to join in. The empty seat is filled by other mechanism and does not give preference to the "Watchers".

Like the Tournaments, It will be pleasant to have a queuing system to a desired table and can a call back to that table.

I put a few BB$ into your account. Can you pls play a pay tournament, an Instant tournament, or an ACBL, whatever you prefer. This will hide ads for a week. See if the page still reloads without the ads, and look in console again if it does.

Thought experiment for you. two true WC pairs play each other for 1000 boards. What do you expect the net imps to be? How about after 10000 boards?

The issue of self-rating has been discussed in dozens of threads before. It has nothing to do with the BBO version.

The problem has not recurred since then, so maybe it is an ad problem.

Thanks for checking. We went through ad filters and double checked the allowed / disallowed specs meanwhile to make sure no intrusive formats are allowed.

When the People tab is open and you click on a friend's blue icon, you are shown their profile and the table where they are playing or watching with the option to join.

However if you click to the right of their blue icon, for example where it says 'Playing table (xyz)', then only their profile is displayed: the table where they are playing is not shown.

This behaviour was not my expectation, so I wondered if it was a bug or a feature

I'm getting disconnected back to the login screen while in another browser tab for short periods between hands. Especially annoying in Express tourneys when you find you've been kicked and lose some TCR%.

Sound warnings can also lag, you hear the beep that it's your turn and when you switch you've been kicked.

Using Firefox.

When viewing History in a tourney, the results are shown for NS and EW regardless of which direction I was sitting, so sometimes my result is in the left column and sometimes on the right. This makes determining my own score to date very difficult. A We/They setup would be much more useful.

Or at least highlight the square containing my result

Creating team matches

With the InterCity League starting again today I created my first team match using the September 28 preview. It all went well but there was one major difference from the Flash version.

When you create the match and the invitations are issued, the creation window does not disappear in the Flash client. This is a great help when a player declines the invitation, either deliberately, or because they are not at the keyboard, or for some random reason - you can then quickly reissue invitations with a new player or after prompting the failing player. The creation window closes when the match starts.

With the preview client, the creation window closes immediately that the invitations are issued. So if someone refuses, you need to enter all the team match information again, which greatly slows the process.

This may be a feature of this client

Just a few more questions. I am using a mac desktop.

1) Is there a way to change the chat font size?

2) Is there a way to set to ‘Mouse Over” rather than having to click on the name for profile?

3) When I set up a bidding/teaching table, I don't get a menu for redeal/undo/table options/deal source/pictures of card - just 3 grey bars on a blue background. When I click on the grey bars a menu for these options appears. Is this normal or just a mac thing? Not a problem just wondering as buttons would be much easier to use.

4) Smaller cards would be nice. The cards showing are clunky and I have trouble with the size on my screen.

Great that the files archive is now listed alphabetically!

Is there a convenient list of items comparing the present web version with the new HTML version - what will be changed and what will stay the same?

Thanks so much for your help!!

Click on the chat display area, you'll get a popup menu with options to change the size.

This is currently the way it is. Most layout features are the same in the desktop and mobile versions. A few important things (e.g. Logoff) have been pulled out into buttons on the desktop version, but not less common things like this. We'll be refining these things over time.

Thanks, we'll put this on our suggestion list.
