Hi,

My first post, so don't flame me if its been mentioned before....

Does anyone else get annoyed when they join a game where the host is clearly away from the keyboard? Its particularly annoying when you leave the table and then end up rejoining that game - this has happened multiple times, sometimes with 3 players leaving and ending up on the same game with the inactive host.
Or on occasion when playing a game and the host disappears, it leaves you in limbo either waiting for them to return or giving up and finding another game?

Could there not be a remove host button that requires the 3 other players at the table to click it simultaniously? Maybe even only allow it to be used when the host has not bid/played within the last minute?

Anyway, just a thought.

For now, I'll just have to 'leave table' and hope i don't get back onto the same table.

Cheers,

B

Hi Ben :) Welcome to the Forums!

The software automatically removes inactive hosts after a certain period of time. If it takes too long, you can call a yellow helper and ask them to remove the "dead host" manually.

To call a yellow click on the "Who's Online" side tab, on the right hand side of your screen. Then click on the "Hosts" tab and click on a name to start chatting. Or, if you are on our older version, click on the "Lobby" button, on the right side of the chat area.
