More of a suggestion for this forum than to do with BBO really ...
Someone in the forum moderator clan has gone to a lot of trouble to make it easy to post hands to the forum by way of wizards and code buttons. Clearly not something provided by Invision Powerboard itself, so will have been developed in-house. I have just one minor gripe:
When you select OneHand from the options, you are prompted to enter the vulnerability, method of scoring, and position of dealer. It does NOT prompt you to enter the position of the hand being posted (whether relative to dealer or relative to some compass position). The wizard does say that you are entering South's hand, but that is not made clear anywhere in the published post, and individuals making use of this option are not universally placing the disclosed hand in the South seat.
I agree that most of the time you can work out the position from the context of the accompanying commentary, but it would be more convenient to have it thrust in your face. Any chance of improving that?
One problem with changing it now is that it could foul up some historical posts, if the post is dynamically reformatted by some "new" rules that were not in place when originally posted.
