BBO Discussion Forums: Change in solitaire layout? - BBO Discussion Forums

Hello,

I am writing this for my father who uses this site. First I wanna say many thanks to the site runners for running such a fantastic service.

So my father complained to me that since yesterday everything has changed for him. Basically he only plays "Solitaire -> Just play bridge" against robots and Bridgemaster practice.

According to him, since yesterday the layout for "just play bridge" has changed - so that everything is suddenly huge, he can no longer see everyone's deck, the announcement used to be different and the "online players" bar didn't used to be there.

This is what he sees:


I think it used to be similar to the Bridgemaster layout, as such:



My question is whether this is normal - was there a new update since yesterday? - and if there is any way to change the layout to what it used to be? I've tried to meddle with all the settings and use different browsers but don't seem to make any progress.

Many thanks!

Yes, there was an update. To relieve the load on the main server, when you use the solitaire games it's now redirecting you to the anonymous game web sites.

I see, thank you! Do you know if the site has any immediate plans to revert to the old layout?

Not immediately. Maybe in the future if we can raise other capacity limits.
