Changed over to BBO Web Version out of compulsion.
So Sad.

Old BBO Windows Version very easy to play and more enjoying.
Here 3 times I made mistake of conceding all remaining cards, when actually I wanted to Claim all remaining tricks.

Thx n Brgds

You will get used to it.
I hated it too at the beginning, and each time BBO announced that they are not going to upgrade the old windows version, I was one of those who criticized them harshly with my comments.
I lived the same frustration when I moved from OKB to BBO also. People don't like changing the things they are used to.
Now, even if they let me in OKB for free and even if they said "use old BBO version and we will not charge you on tourneys" I'd still go with Web version.

What you said is just a matter of habit, you would need some time to get used to it.I am sure you will like Web version BBO.

Now let's hear how BBO Customer Service replied my similar problem



Dear Lycier
This first stage of the coming migration will basically affect all the free games in the old program for Windows but, eventually, the programed will be phased out completely. We are now focussing all our resources on developing a site that is compatible with new technologies ( mobile phones, IPads and tablets as well with computers with different operating systems - not just Windows -). The web version will be somewhat different. Not very different. After all, in the end,it is all about playing bridge and that part is much the same. You will only need some time to get used to it. And there are new games there that you might enjoy as we are offering many more alternatives to play (instant tournaments, solitary bridge, bingo-bridge, challenges between two players, free 6-handed Express tournaments. You will be to set uptables with IMP, MP and Total Points scoring. If players are adamant about continuing to play on the older Windows version of BBO, there is a way u to continue, for a time, on the version with which they are more familiar. They can purchase some BB$ clicking on BUY BB$ and purchase $ 10 or more BB$ and use them in some of the premium games, which will allow them to continue playing on the older version of BBO. Although this step does allow them to stay on the Windoes program for a while longer, we can't promise that this will be "forever", and it probably won't be longer than a few months. But doing this will allow them to continue on the more 'comfortable' version, whil get get familiar and acquainted with our new version which offers many more features.
