When leaving BBO sometimes I click Log off and sometimes I close the browser tab without logging off first. Is there any difference between two like does closing the page leave the connection to BBO hanging at all?

Closing the tab is also much quicker and requires only one action, first world problems I know.

I have always just closed the browser window / tab. But wait a minute - maybe that is why so many of my finesses fail!
You must know the rules well - so that you may break them wisely!

I have a feeling that if during the course of your session you have changed some of your preferences, such as sound v no sound, or notifify me when a viewgraph starts, or autoplay singletons, etc, then at the end of the cession it is recommended that you log off rather than close the window, if you want those changes to stick for future logins.

Other than that, no difference.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).

I would prefer to have the "confirm navigation" warning come up only when I'm actually playing at a table - or waiting for a tourney to start. I don't want to quit the table by mistake: it's so easy to hit the 'close' button by accident. At other times it's a bit superfluous.

This used to be the case, but it was fixed a while ago. When you change options they're saved immediately, not when you logout.
