I wish to sugest that BBO should not accept new member registrations
unless the applicant completes details of the system they play on their profile.

I find it stagering the amount of members in all rooms that
have not entered any details in their user profiles.

There have been many occasions when I have entered a game,
my partner has no profile information at alll & sometimes when
I ask them I get no reply, so have to leave the table, as it
is impossible to play with someone under these circumstances.

that would not work
a fella walks about with this in his profile: Bergen is in sweden, support only hose

but sometimes you learn all about new conventions

1. GERBER ANYTIME -- which means everytime you bid 4 club it is gerber

2. never gerber -- which meand you never bid gerber


i think i have to create the variants

blackwood anyitme and never blackwood

It's real easy to see a player's profile before you sit opposite them. Just hover your mouse pointer over the username. If the profile is blank or doesn't match your style you can keep looking for one who does.

Hamman, Garozzo, Lawrence, Fantoni, Nunes, Versace, and many others have blank profiles.

Instead of not accepting memberships maybe they should sign a waiver that they specifically won't play with you.

so don't. were you chained to the table?

When someone uses Help me Find a Game button, they are taken to a table without being able to check profiles first. My guess is this happened to our friend.
So if you want to be able to choose your partner, click on "Click to play or watch bridge" and select a place to play.
If you are using the browser version click on "List all tables" or "Start a table"

Be a little tolerant please. There are plenty of good reasons not to provide certain information:
- It is no use to list system/conventions/leads/carding as different partners play different stuff anyway. Nor do I play everything. So will have to discuss. List all the conventions that I do play (or that I don't play) would help except that it would fill a phone book.
- I don't list any personal details to protect my privacy.
- I don't list my country because I don't really have a country, or I consider it irrelevant. The only way it could be relevant would be to show which languages I understand, but what does "Zwitserland" or "Nigeria" say anyway?
- I don't write jokes because people may misunderstand and/or take offense.
- I don't write anything because I am an infrequent BBO player so don't bother. Maybe I don't even know that I can fill in my profile, or I assume that the profiles don't support the script of my language.
