Hi

I am once again running a teams league. Prior the setting up of the matches the players congregate in a chat room from which one has to exit to see who is online. This is awkward in 2 ways.

1. You are leaving a chat mid flow and may miss an important announcement.

and

2. The chat log is cleared from the screen thereby removing what may be an important piece of information from your screen.

I have asked before but surely now that a lobby view is available from everywhere else within BBO would it not be easy to encode to be able to see 4 lines at the top of the screen for a lobby view. It may be permanent or user selected I really do not care which but I would like to see some movement towards a lobby view.

BTW I know some work has been completed in the chat rooms as now I can see more than 5 or 6 attendees.

I have no experience of chat rooms, but cant you use a common playing room as chat-room?

Besides.
I get the knowledge the other day you can rise from the player seat onto kibitzer seat (by clicking on your seat) - and as kibitzer you have some extra possibilities a player dont have.

It would perhaps do the trick for you??

A chat room has much more chat area and is a lot easier to find than a common playing table - even one marked as teaching.

A playing table also is subject to a deal being made if 4 sit, or constant requests to sit if the seating is locked.

You can reserve the four seats for x,y,z,w, so no one can try to sit there.
