Curls77:
For those of you that were just recently pushed from old BBO windows client to its web version, we made little "How to" at http://iac-at-web-bbo.site123.me.

Hopefully tips there will help you thorough the transition from old windows client into web version of BBO, so you can keep playing your favorite game and chat with your friends.
Learn how to find IAC room and trny, how to set team match, save hands from bidding table, listen to the teachers that use voice, etc etc.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.


There is separate site with tips related only to tournament tool at web BBO.

For those who still like the old BBO Client, and need a copy it is I believe still available to download from BBO, though BBO themselves are actively discouraging its use by not making the link below easily available. In 2017 BBO declared its intention to phase it out completely, but there are still certain functions used by clubs that are still not available in the Web version, which they would need to sort out before they do so (asof today 7 April 2018, that still hasn't happened).

If this link disappears I have a copy of the download, which can be made available for an extortionate fee  ;D

Ian, it's not enough anymore to just have the setup.
Ever since February 2017, unless player is on special list they are not able to use windows client.

Ahh so BBO have created a white list for the Netbridge server, I guess

Fwiw, I can log on to BBO using the old downloadable version. Am I on some list? I have no idea. "I've got a little list..." Gilbert and  Sullivan

One of the things that the downloadable does is to list all upcoming tournaments, days in advance, as soon as they are created. The online version seems to not list them until about 2 hours before they run. Or, if there is a way to get the further off ones to appear, I don't know how to do it.

But that's a minor issue. I use the online version because BBO asks me to. I suppose it helps them with their advertising. When my wife does online shopping I get advertisements for women's dresses when I log on. The software seems to be really good at tracking whatever it is we search for. So far this has not led to any embarrassment.  Maybe I should search for old Madonna  performances on YouTube and see what sort of ads I get. At one point I did get some ads for some very strange swim wear.
