Here are a 2 suggestions. Do you think these are of benefit and would you like to seem them implemented? Thanks.

Have the ability to richt click on someone's name and have the option of joining their table directly. This way you don't have to go through all the screens to get to that table (where they may have already found a partner, pair, etc.) Or some other more efficient way (one click) to go to a table.

Being able to use DF and have the ability (have this be an option) to have it automatically provide an "ongoing" analysis each time a card is played. Other wise you have to click on DF each time a card is played.

i) Already suggested - hopefully will be implemented sooner or later

ii) BBO and The creator of DF have detailed agreements on what can and what can't be used. Personally I see no reason why this could not be implemented - I would find it personally annoying, but why not?

Thanks for the information. The DF (option) might be usefull to see the way DF analyzes the changes as each card is played. When it first starts, there is only one solution (assuming perfect defense and declarer play) but depending upon the actual cards played, that solution could changes. A contract that has no play initially, may be able to make as a result of the play of the defenders. By " watching along" as each card is played you can see where the error occured.

DF is a commercial product. The author has been kind enough to allow us to use it for basic Yes/No analysis at no cost.

We are very hesitant to trample upon his generosity by extending the BBO DF functionality to the point where it might compete with the "real thing"

It is an automation of what's currently available, I believe.

If I understood it correctly, you get the same thing by clicking on DF button after each card is played.

[ciscokid]

That is correct Gerardo. If there was an "auto" option, you could just watch along as the cards were played (and DF analysis changed) vs having to manually click on DF after each trick.
