When will we be able to use the scrollwheel in BBO? It would really be a nice feature, since clicking 1000 times to find someone or some chat or a certain table is inefficient imo, scrolling is waaaaaaaaaaay better B)

The scrollwheel works fine here in most places (as do the cursor keys).
I usually open with 13 cards

Perhaps you need a "read scroll" scroll. Ah, happy memories of playing Rogue on a DEC10 in 1982 ;)

In theory the mouse wheel is not supposed to work with BBO
(ie there is no programming code in the BBO client that
supports the mouse wheel). If the mouse wheel is working for
some people then I can only assume that the mouse driver
software that is installed on their PCs in not working in the
"normal" way.

I did some research yesterday on what would be involved in
making the BBO client properly support the mouse wheel.
Unfortunately this turned out to be something I don't what to
get involved in right now (too much work for too little gain and
too many other things to do).

For now I suggest you use the arrow keys (and page up and
page down and home and end keys) if you want to scroll
through a list on BBO without having to click a lot.
