Today I've played the following 4 boards, sitting West. I looked at the 'history' tab and it looks wrong to me; here's a screen grab:

As you can see the points are being attributed to the wrong pair. On board 1, 430 points should go to EW not NS, etc.
Or am I missing something?

When you're playing the column headings are wrong. The labels NS and EW actually represent We and They, respectively. The headings are designed for kibitzers.

Sorry, I don't understand. How can "NS" mean "we"? And for kibitzers (who are not playing), who are "we" anyway?

It still looks like a bug to me.

What he is saying is that the BBO interface has bugs which have been tolerated so long that they become features.
Like hand diagrams posted here where the the robot is actually the human and vice versa, or explanation boxes that ask opp for another explanation if you click on the only button in the hope of dismissing them, or double dummy where green is good for the Declarer even if you are a Defender (IIRC).
It already took me 5 years to convince them to clear up what looked like a system crash after a claim was accepted.
