I don't know if this is possible without devoting many lines of code to make this happen, but would it be possible while you're kibbing a table and check out the table listings in the bottom multipurpose window to have the capability of clicking on an open seat to start play immediately, instead of having to leave the table THEN click on that open seat?

This is a GREAT idea.... All too often I kibitz and watch for a good playing situation. But by the time I leave the table and then find the table I had in the subwindow, the seat is taken.....

This would be a nice addition (for me at least)...  :-/

In principle this is possible and I agree it is a good idea. Unfortunately it will not make it into the next release.

A curious question for the computer geeks -- what's the language(s) being used to program our client these days?

We use the Visual C++ compiler, but the BBO client is really a C program (as is our server program).

Good ol' C - nice language to work in. Gives a lot of flexibility and uniformity, a must with the service that BBO provides.
