Help
I see that some players instantly post their rather long alerts in the alert box. It is obvious they are not typing these alerts in, but they are pre-typed.
How is this done?

These are being taken from their posted convention cards, if they have selected one for that session.

Type the explanation in the box before you make your bid. Both the alert and the explanation are then delivered with the bid.
No need for a lengthy explanation, the opps can ask if they need more information.

Is your question about BBO? This is the General Bridge Forum, there are a bunch of BBO forums about a dozen forums down.
Anyway, what you're probably seeing are people using Full Disclosure convention cards. To create these you have to use the Windows BBO app, they can't be created in the web interface (but you can still use them from there).

Have no idea they use macros or not. Could help to save time especially for speed tourneys.
I prefer to use and read universally accepted short terms. (ie Mich-Michaels, 03, revd-reverse drury, F1N-forcing 1 round, wk2-weak two etc)
