Thanks to everyone who has tried the beta and for reporting the problems you found. A new version is now available at:

http://www.bridgebas...3311upgrade.exe

I think I have fixed all the bugs that were reported (and a few others), but chances are pretty good that more exist (perhaps some new ones I created).

Please keep those posts coming!

A new thing to try in 3.3.11 is the "keyboard entry for bidding/play" on the main Options dialog box.

If you have not read Uday's message about the 3.3.10 beta, I strongly suggest you do so before trying 3.3.11.

I wrote a note for an enemy, it vanished

Good to see the peeking problem is fixed!  Should be fewer successful finesses and drops now.

Re kibitizing when one selects to kibitiz one player ... when a hand is over, the traveller pops up.  You click that off and see ALL 4 hands of the next deal.  After the first bid is made, the other 3 hands flip and you kibitiz just the one player you wanted to kibitiz.

For proper kibitizing, we need to have only the specified hand appear initially.

Hope this helps.

Best, Jim

I like the new features, especially the remark field. It looks like plenty for the purpose!

The Log Off button still kicks out too far, but is better than waiting long for time out.

For me the new version works very well.

Thanks for the modifications!

See Fred , i told you we were dieing for that field. Its great now i've lost 90% of my enemies, and have been able to note things like "great guy but beginner" instead of "black"

Hmm, I only just noticed.

If you're sitting at a table, you cannot see lobby chat.  If you are merely kibitzing, you'll still see chat.

Not sure if this is a bug, or you guys meant it to be this way.  There are arguments both way of course....but I thought if anyone wants to see lobby chat, they should be able to see it even if they're playing.  (Err, I like to keep track of whats going on...)


Woof!

Easy, I had that loss too, lol.  

Rain, maybe check your setup (and check lobbychat)  ;D

[Lestat]

Using the new beta software, I noticed a very strange scoring result.

You may want to check out my fourth hand record for today, Lestat.  I declared 5D.  After 11 tricks, of which I won 9, I claimed, which was accepted.  Rather than showing 5D +5, the results showed 5D -9 for minus 450!  lol

I've never seen that happen before so there must be a PLOB (a petty little odious *bug*).  

It turned out to be the 16th result recorded, but I don't know if that had any significance.

Best, Jim  

[uday]

Rats.  We thought we'd nailed that one down. It - the down-a-million-claim-bug - has been plaguing us for months.

I'll pass this on to Fred, thanks.

There is still an issue w/Notes; If the note is about a person who logs in with different capitalization, the note is "lost" (actually we still have the note on the server but the PC gets confused). We'll fix in the next beta

::)PLOB...  ;D long time since I first read that use.... for the uninitiated, the "B" in PLOB stood for bid and was the name give nmf over opener's 1NT rebid by the bridge world editor at the time the convention was introduced in that magazine.

[Cave_Draco]

I agree, Jim, but it's not dependant on the traveller (I minimise the traveller) and can be managed if the opening bidder is quick,  .

I like to kib one player and count the hand with "no" clues; even a short glimpse of all 4 hands is unfortunate,

However, the ability to restrict what you can see is a GREAT move, especially from the teaching angle.

"Better to glimpse the future than know it."

I also have problems with notes disappearing written about people turned into black. I am not quite sure whether friends/enemies settings are stable now but they still seems to be more stable if they are made from lobby than from the table or kibitz list.

Despite I have typed nothing I this night I found this message among the comments  during Vugraph:

csdenmark (Lobby): poohbear  hi Barry, (Jill here)

I have no rights for comments during Vugraph and I doubt any will be able to comment to Vugraph from Lobby.

Today when playing i noted that my mouse was slowing down. There were quite a few players on net.. that could have been the problem but it was a first for me.

[keylime]

I've noticed that my mouse will freeze and attempt to scroll the chat window for 15-20 seconds, then everything hits at once with the plays and text.

[Rhutobello]

installed the beta yesterday, and my first impression is good, I l"love " the comment felt.

When I had playd for a while, and just when last card was laid on the table, I should write a shat message, then I was on my desktop???? I was logged of.

Since this is not a nice way to leave a good company, I hurried back on, and now my problem arised. I could't remember which table I was on. I tried movie from the site, but no, I logged of agein and took it from my computer.
Then back, and managed to explain it for my fellow players.

From this exspirience I have the following question:
" Is it much work to have a link on your profile that shows your last gamehost"  If not, then it would be a nice op, if it is, I agree that  you have good solutions as it is:)

Good work
