Help
If I create some hands in Bridge Composer, save, convert to .lin (via online converter or old windows BBO software), I can import them fine in the old, Flash version, and use them at a teaching table.
If I try to do the same in the new BBO (HTML5), it says I successfully imported X number of hands, but they don't display under 'show deal', and when I try to use them in a teaching table, they don't load (I select the folder, and get no error message, but it says something like 'out of hands, reverting to random deals' when I press redeal.
Thus for teaching table I have to use old Flash version if I want to use my own set of deals (I do this because we have a second teaching table and wish to play the same hands at both tables).
Can this be fixed?
(ideally, could BBO just support .pbn files?)

uploading .lin hands works in Flash, not in HTML5

The files do get loaded in HTML5 but there is a bug that you will not see them until you log out and log back in again. Then they will be visible and usable at teaching tables and other tables. BBO are aware of this.

This bug will be fixed in the next update. I can't say precisely when that will be, but probably not too long.
