I have never worked out how to load a lin file from `myhands`to these forums so that I can post the complete hand, auction and play.
With the old forums it was a simple process using Wayne`s lin convertor.

Can someone help, please.

So here is what you do Basically, get the lin file from the movie found on the traveller page, and substitute in the text as shown in the code snippet below.

Here is a hand I played online, I have put it in code...

And like this on the page

Hope that helps.

It is best to use the format from the traveller since the way you posted the hand will be missing is a month or two when the hands are no longer current.

almost, I had to remove "colour"?, or I perhaps I needed to set a colour?

Thanks Ben It was a lot easier the old way!

I tried this and it doesn't work- I get a blank tableau.

My lin doesn't look anything like yours- no % (vertical lines instead) and no

We've had this question asked about a half-dozen times over the past month or so. Can we please pin this thread, so people might find it in the future? Thanks.

It should be made more general- how to post a hand?

testing?

[inquiry]

RenemPard, you had hard returns in the file you pasted in. This is why it didn't show the auction of the play. I edited your file and only removed these hard returns, to get what is shown... Try pasting your source again, and see how to find those returns and eliminate them. If you copy the html directly, you will not have this problem.

This is nothing like your file. I just downloaded the lin file, edited it with notepad and copied it into this post. What am I doing wrong?

[Bbradley62]

Don't download anything. Look at the hand in myhands: http://online.bridge...time=1340078400
and copy and paste what you see in the gray sub-heading area (below the blue top part) into the forum to get your starting point.
