As i do not have an account yet with BBO,at present
I only play free tourneys,

When one registers,early and input ones name for a partner
to invite-and sometimes entering with say 5 mins to the off
there is a long list of also pards looking..........

A suggestion is it possible to asterisk a friend.
example if one of my friends has a handle of "apple"

could this be displayed apple* so when scrolling the list
and looking, there might be 2/3 fiends on the list....

Hi Pirate,

On the web version friends appear in purple on the list of players looking for a partner. Also if you have created categories, the color code will be visible there, so you can see immediately whether you wish to partner someone or not. I don't think there will be any changes to the older version, so you should give the web version a try

Ty for reply-however you have slightly missed my point,
Yes -i have created a list of friends,not many enemies,
and when i enter site up comes the list of friends in Blue
on the RH side..my point is now i go and click watch and play..
and then click "Free Touneys" and there is a tourney in say 5 mins,
so i register and enter my name,then have to close ,to go to friends
listed and strt R/H clicking,some are plying in another tourney.
{dunno what time they will finnish}--more time wasted,back to registratiuon,
my name is there,along with a long list alphabetical,so one starts
l/h cllicking to see their profile,more time wasted,lo and behold,when i get
down to the M's,there is a friend,so i enter their name register and await,
Success.we are paired.
my suggestion,is on this list,can an asterisk be put by their name,so
one can scroll looking for a name with an asterisk.
or the name undelined-it would stand out.

regards

P.S. Hate the new format,somewhat confusing,but having used
what is termed as the "OLD" for 5 years,I know the ropes,
and i realise BBO wants to improve,so eventualy it will be phased out.
and the ole dog will have to relearn..

I don't think I missed your point. The list of players looking for a partner (the partnership desk) on the web version keeps the same color code as the old version's lobby. So if you access the Partnership desk, your friends are colored in purple, while the neutrals are not. You can see immediately which of your friends have added their name to that tournament's partnership desk.

I realize that there are many people who love the older version - i still love it too - but most of the bugs / features / issues signaled so far have been addressed on the latest version. This is how it should be, things go forward. We can continue to use the older version and accept its limitations, or move to the web version and see how the new features work.

pirate22, please get used to the fact that BBO has decided NOT to make any changes to the old version, except to fix critical problems. If you prefer it, you have to live with it as it is. All improvements are only being made to the web version; there's no point in making suggestions if they only apply to the download version, they're not going to do it.

The replies so far have re-educated me,to take up
the new version,and suffer,somewhat "Barmar" put it in a
nutshell .thats why im changeing today,
no longer am i under the impression now, that one
can INPUT suggestions to improve the old system,
but assume one can for the new Version.
Hooray for the Forum,and individual Subjects
