I was playing in a Robot Rebate tourney, and hovering the mouse over my bids didn't show what they meant. And in the bidding diagram I had to click on bids to show their meaning.

I just started a table in the MBC playing against robots and hovering is working as it did in the past.

I've noticed a couple times now that random messages sent to Club show up in my chat when I'm not in a club. Latest example, 6:26 PDT. Two messages from nofree to Club appeared while I was kibbing Vugraph. No problem for me to ignore the messages, but this may be symptomatic of a bigger problem. Definitely new with this release.

Hi,

1-Friend list OK but enemy list on windows version not auto carried to my V36 account.
2-When you change picture your friend should log in again to see new one, perhaps page refresh issue.
3- I wonder as a regular Vugraph commentator would be able to use V36 or not.

Thanks, best

I've been using the web-client for months when doing vugraph commentary. No GIB, but that is no loss.

I asked ACBL_17 to sub me and he did. I saw "You have been replaced, and are no longer playing in this tournament/team game".

When I logged back i saw "Welcome back. The director will return you to your seat shortly. Please wait."

Then I found myself at the table again tho i was subbed.

TD : "are you leaving or not"
Me : "i leave"
TD : "you left and came right back"
TD : "so you were reseated"

There's a bug with the context menu when right-clicking on usernames which contain underscores.

In detail, when you write-click the name of a user in the chat window you get a menu, and the menu widget interprets underscores in menu entries as signifying keyboard shortcuts. However, some of the menu entries (such as "define [user] as friend") include the name of the user. The obvious thing now happens: right-clicking on a name like a_User will give the entry "define aUser as friend" (U underlined) instead of the expected "define a_User as friend".

Thanks for the bug report, but I can't replicate this problem in any of the 3 browsers I tried.

What browser and operating system are you using?

Thanks for the details. Yes, please send a screenshot to fred@bridgebase.com when convenient.

Do the menu items in question work properly despite the display problems?

Screenshot sent. The menu items work fine; the underlined letter even works as a keyboard shortcut.

Yesterday I was teaching some beginners. Since they often have problems with teaching tables (they get stuck during the auction, or during play, and have to leave the seat and retake it in order to be able to click anything), I decided to use a normal table instead. It is possible that this only happens when one of them uses the flash version and the other the windows version, or maybe they need to clear the cache or update flash or w/e. These people are not very computer literate so it is difficult to figure out the details, one of them can't tell me whether she uses the windows version or the flash version (!). Sorry.

Using a main room table has a different problem, though: It appears that when the host (me) is kibbitzing rather than playing, nobody can ask for undo.

Also, I cannot seat robots if I am not playing myself. This is true at a teaching table also: I have certain problems with seating robots, but I can't figure out what the patern in the problem is. Often I can't seat more than one robot unless I am playing myself. I want to seat robots EW and my students NS and that is not always possible, sometimes I am only allowed to seat a robot on one of the chairs.

Sorry for this probably useless bug report, I would like to be able to say something more specific. Will try to find some computer literate volunteers to test this robot seating issue and undo issue.

Anyway, how is robot seating supposed to work? I would think that the host should always be allowed to seat robots anywhere as long as s/he is present at the table, regardless of whether someone plays or not. Are there some restrictions that have been made deliberately?

The host has to be sitting in order to seat robots (a deliberate, if not wise, design decision).

The presence of robots puts restrictions on undos, claims, and redeals, but only at tables with duplicate scoring. At a duplicate table, a human player must have at least one human opponent in order to be allowed to undo/claim/redeal.

If you are able to find a pattern as to why you sometimes have trouble seating robots, please do let me know. Do you see the buttons for sitting robots (and they do nothing) or do the buttons disappear under these circumstances?

Thanks Fred, sounds as if this is (at least largely) a feature rather than a bug

The robot seating issue is that sometimes the "click for robot" button is not there. When it is there, I can always click it.

In the windows client you could do a mouseover to get the user profile. I understand there are reasons why you can't do this in general on the web client, but it would be nice if you could do it for VuGraph commentators in particular, and for people who chat to you in general.

@geller
This option exists in the browser version.
Go to Options button in the upper side of your screen, select Advanced Options tab and you can tick-untick "Show profile upon mouseover"

For the past few hours (say 03:00 - 05:00 PDT) that I've been checking List Interesting Tables, no Team Matches have appeared, except for Vugraph. Usually there are some Team Matches on the list, sometimes more than half of the tables. This is new as of this morning.

This problem is now fixed. Thanks for reporting it.

Just saw another occurrence where a chat to Club showed up in my chat stream when i wasn't in a Club. I am now kibbing a table in the Main Bridge Club, and got a chat addressed to Club from someone in TPT. I was in TPT earlier today but left about an hour ago.

I got a chat to club when I'd just finished playing a Robot Reward tourney.
