Are there solutions to any of these BBO annoyances:

1. I am _playing_ in a prearranged game (BBO IMPs) and get popup forms requesting to join another table.

2. A player briefly disconnects, so I click on "Table" to reserve his seat. Before I can enter the name and click "Apply" I get a bunch of requests to sit, each of which has to be rejected before I can continue typing.

3. I am the opening leader and start to click on my lead, then the suits shift position, sometimes before I realize it causing the wrong card to be chosen.

For #1, you can put the people inviting you on your enemies list.

Never mind,please never mind.
You are a real famous expert player and BBO star.In china,your popularity is extremely high,and more than JEC if not at bbo.
Many many of chinese players who don't play bbo,maybe don't know how to login to BBO,but they know your name ,your bridge knowledgement,your system,your works and websit .
So I guess there are many many your fans at bbo in the world- wanna to play with/against you.Other star players also can have the same experience.
As bbo fans,we admire you.
You are free to give our chinese players copyright,we are grateful to you.

This should be a complicated problem - it involves System response speed and Net Access Delay,etc.
So it needs to wait several second.

If your handle is particularly well known and associated with a famous player, consider opening a second anonymous account and share that id with friends only. I am responding only to item 1 above.
