Here's a brief summary of what we've learned:
- Instant 100 Issue: Flagged by smerriman, we'll investigate if it's due to insufficient deals on Server2.
- Challenges: Multiple people successfully played various challenges (robot, friend, star).
- Instant Tournaments: Successfully played both free weekly and BBO paid instant tournaments.
- Team Match: One team match went smoothly from start to finish, including TD operations like adjustments, replacements, and invitations.
- Robot Tournament: Successfully concluded a Robot World tournament (BBO Robot Duplicate).
- Individual Tournament: A human individual tournament was set up and managed to completion without issues.
- Video Chat: Functioned well at tables, in team matches, and during human tournaments.
While we encourage you to continue testing these features, please note that daylongs and challenges have minimal dependency on the BBO server and should not be our main focus.
You could try Challenge a Stranger and a Group Challenge -- I think they have not been played by anyone yet.
We'd appreciate your help to simulate real games with many participants, such as ACBL speedballs and other human tournaments. To achieve this, we need to coordinate and ensure we have enough people to fill at least 2-3 tables for these games to start.
We suggested some "testing hours" in the OP, so let's try, if possible, to be online during those intervals to get those human games started. Here they are again, in capital-of-the-world translation:
Daily Tests:
- 3pm to 5pm PM Paris time (9am to 11am New York, 11pm to 1am Sydney)
- 9pm to 11pm Paris time (3pm to 5pm New York, 5am to 7am Sydney)
Weekend Tests (Saturday and Sunday):
- 11am to 1pm Paris time (5am to 7am New York, 7pm to 9pm Sydney)
- 7pm to 9pm Paris time (1pm to 3pm New York, 3am to 5am Sydney)

I logged in using the samsung browser. It was a bit tricky to lig in without getting a password format error, as my password is apparently stored in the browser. The trick i found was first to enter my password and then type my username, being careful to type all the letters without accepting the prompted username

Helene, do you have the same issue when you login to the usual BBO with your samsung browser?

- Challenge a Stranger -- thanks Mhsherman !. Here are the results for all three flavours: IMP, MPs and TPs.
- Free pairs tournament - thanks Pebe. Tournament creation, edits, copy went find. During the tourney we tried undo, board adjustment and call TD. All good. Results here.
- Started a bidding table - thanks helene_t. We tried "opps always pass" (ie, the default setting). Bidding, redeal, Upload deal to table went well. Subbed a robot in as a partner and did constrained deals, both through the GUI and from the dealer script -- that also went well.
We added some testing bucks (on Server2) for the following:

If we missed anyone let us know. We'll keep checking and adding BB$ to whoever we notice online, so they can click around and try anything they like.

I had the same issue on the main server once, a few years ago. I never changed my password but it feels like my password was messed up
