Help
I have been teaching my husband how to play bridge on BBO and he has asked several times which hand is the dummy while he is declarer (since you are able to see both hands). I think someone had suggested this tool in the past: maybe BBO can make it more obvious by adding a red line underneath the dummy’s cards. This is just a suggestion but I think it would be helpful, even for more experienced players.

If you use the "Hand Diagram" option rather than (the default) "Pictures of cards", then the dummy has a grey background. I am dumb enough to find this useful not just as Declarer but also as Dummy or Defender. Unfortunately there is no such background in "Picture of cards" mode. BBO is aware of this limitation and will probably fix it within a few years, if anyone is still using "Pictures of cards" by then
