Of course, you could just not drill down into the challenges tab and sail along in ignorance of it being filled up with unanswered challenges, so maybe there is no great call for any change.

Right now there are only 2 ways.
1) You can block a post or an author by clicking the "more" button in newsfeed (icon looks like a downward thing) and block. Blocking an author is permanent (but if you made a mistake you could write to support@ and get it unblocked.)
2) Stop following the person. A poster would be posting to friends or followers, so if you stop following him you won't get his feed post.
How not to be inundated by "friends" challenges:
You would mark the person as an enemy. That's the only way right now.

2- The design is novel,beautiful and easy, good job. However it seems look like brief strokes :
Color sense : very good
Sketch effect : not good
Painting effect : worse
Surface effect : worse
3- VUGRAPH (LIVE BROADCASTS) :
Here is not good, I only meant it needs to remind users wether BBO is making Vugraph.
I am a layman, just saying.

1) works perfect
2) unfollow is not really a solution. There normally is a reason for following
The challenge is still there. How can I cancel it? Especially important when the number of challenges is restricted to 10/3.

If it's a Challenge for/from a friend:
Click the challenge to cancel a challenge you issued to someone else, or accept/decline a challenge invite.
If it's a Challenge a stranger (otherwise known as an arena match up):
Currently the only way is to play out all hands to finish the match. You can just keep claiming down all if you don't wanna play.
We've just changed the limits so you can start another "challenge a stranger" without finishing the first one.
But we're still imposing the 10/3 limits right now.

There is a new version available now that contains what I think and hope is a fix to this problem, but you will have to clear your browser cache in order to pick up the latest version.

First I dislike that the limit is 16 boards.
It would be better if it would be a bit more - say I can set a challange with a friend and play it over a few days - lets say a long match like 64 board. Although no idea how much one match takes space up.
Anyhow 16 imo is too small as a maximum value.
The second idea is that you can implement the challange with vugraph hands as well - I have played with a few friends that we play a vugraph match and then compare it and discuss it out - so it would be nice to able to used saved deals for the challange as well.

Good suggestions - thanks. I also really enjoy playing deals from vugraph matches.
We hope and thinks that Challenges will be a big hit. If so (and maybe if not) we will likely offer additional options for Challenges in future releases.

Even my monitor is very big, its size is 24 inch, I would disagree since I think it should have nothing to do with monitor size in the almost situations. And now you can see my picture is not the same as barmar, so today I open my another pc to check BBO. I will post some screenshots to tell you.
Monitor size : 19 inch
System : windows 10 profession version
Browser : Google chrome, IE11, edge.
1- While I use edge browser, I have no way to fill in my user's password normally. When I open Google chrome and IE11 respectively, there are no problem.
However their common problem is when we (including some my friends) log into bbo, its connection speed are slower than current client for every time, I beg BBO Don't slow down our chinese users' connection speed , we were too painful in the past. The connection speed for current bbo client is very good. Don't slow down.
2- While I open IE11 :
3- While I open Google chrome :
4- While I open edge browser :

1- While the total number of people online are over 10,000, some of people will be difficult to log into BBO, even logging into BBO, it is easier to lose the connection.
2- If over 15,000 - 17,000, too many people can't log into bbo normally, or only watch never play.
3- If over 18,000, most of us can't log into bbo, of course, including users of community optical fibers.
4- many people only like old bbo program, never use web client.
Just saying.

1. Who's online tab to be on top of the left strip i.e. above News Feed.
2. Vugraph tab to be colored in yellow once open tables available there.
Overall, the new version is structured more user-friendly.

Please close all browser windows and then, after reopening a browswer, make sure to clear your cache before trying again.
We are pretty sure this problem is fixed, but you won't pick up the fix unless you follow the steps above.
