The bubble that informs you when a friend logs on is a good feature.
But it would be nice to enable the user to turn the feature off or on, at will.
I have so many marked as "friend" that when a hand is in progress I can get half a dozen of these messages popping up that conceal the auction window when I am trying to concentrate. Particularly irritating during the auction.

Perhaps situating the bubble just to the right of the vulnerability/dealer indicator would be a reasonable alternative, as it does not then mask the bidding history.

Thanks

You can turn this off.

From teh lobby click on your own name. In the dialogue box, click on the Friends/enemies button. Find the check box that says notify me when a friend logs on, and remove teh check mark.
