I scroll the play using the "Movie" option in MyHands (IE9 browser) on this traveller

and it stops the play as if a claim had been made at about trick 8. I tried it at both tables 1 and 8, and same effect. I know that it can't be a claim because GIB doesn't accept claims.
If I view it in the "Lin" option it proceeds to the end of the hand. Likewise if I download the MyHands data into Bridge Captain's Double Dummy Solver, it does pull in the entire play history.

It works fine for me in Chrome.

When you click on Movie, it opens a link with the entire LIN in the URL. These can get pretty long. The URL for that hand is 2312 characters, but IE8 and IE9 have a limit of 2083 characters (according to StackOverflow).

If you right-click and copy the URL, it returns a shorter link that goes through a script that gets the hand from the database. I'll look into changing the script to use this all the time for IE instead of the long links.

This should be fixed now. Hands where the URL would be longer than 2,000 characters switch to an alternate URL that looks up the hand ID in the database, rather than embedding the entire movie in the URL.

This only happens with a tiny fraction of hands -- when you have a very long auction with robots, because every bid has a long explanation attached to it.

What, you don't like the internal numbers from the database?

OK, fixed. :) I accidentally reused a variable name in the new code.
