If you have not tried BBO Version 4.8.7 or later, I suggest you use the link below to read about it before upgrading to 4.9.1:

Click for 487 post

I am trying a new method for drawing star and lock symbols. If you upgrade to 4.9.1 you will see these symbols in non-Classic View (we really need a better name for this) in:

- the lobby list
- lists of tables
- lists of tourneys

If you switch between Classic and non-Classic Views, you can compare the new stars and locks to the old ones.

I think the new stars and locks are much better, but I want to hear some other opinions so please check this out. I will make another post where people can reply with their thoughts on this (and any other) aspect of 4.9.1.

Feel free to e-mail me if you prefer: fred@bridgebase.com

I am going away until Sunday and my rate of producing new versions and responding to posts/e-mails is likely to decrease (and possibly stop completely) during this time.

Instructions for upgrading to version 4.9.1 follow.

You can upgrade to 4.9.1 at:

Click here to update!

or download everything at:

Click here for everything!

I suggest you use the first method, but however you do this, please make sure you exit the BBO program COMPLETELY before you start the download process.

That usually means something went wrong with the download. Suggest you try again, ideally after clearing your browser's cache.

The original version 4.9.1 that I made available had a "memory leak" problem that could cause your BBO to do strange things and/or crash.

Sorry about that.

I believe I have fixed the problem and uploaded a version 4.9.1 that does not suffer from this problem. I am about to get on a plane and did not have time to change the version number.

If you downloaded version 4.9.1 before 4PM EST (22:00 CET) on Wednesday, I suggest you download and install again from the links in the first post in this thread.

Sorry about this inconvenience.
