May i suggest 2 improvments if it's possible for the moderator:
1) Sometimes for any reason we are booted by a rude Host and bbo just advise "you have been booted by host" or something like that (without saying the name of the host). Instead of that is it possible for you to write: "you have been booted by ... host of the table" or something like that, so that we may easier ask him/her few words why he/she did that....
Also this information will probably reduce some rude hosts to do that as they will know that their name will appear..
2) Another strange thing is that when the 52nd card is fallen we don't see it as it's going too fast ...
May you allow that 52nd card remain on the table one second so that we may understand faster the past game... (instead to go to movie and see the 13 cards of your partner or the opponant to understand what was the 52nd card fallen)

Thank you for your understanding
And congratulations for your magnificent game online !!!

This second request comes up time and time again, the last time just a few days ago:

I agree that the current setup can be a bit irritating.

One possibility is to build in a time delay before the trick is quit, as OP suuggests. That would certainly be the simplest solution.

Another would be to require the player to quit the trick and to display it potentially indefinitely until the user does so (possibly with a user config setting asking for this treatment). I suspect that this alternative, aside from being more complex to implement, would create other problems, ie the timing of dealing of next hand. So a simple 1 sec delay seems the best approach. However I believe that other bridge sites require the user to quit the trick, and they manage to cope.
