I see this topic is old and everybody now seems to know how to display on the forum diagrams from actual play on BBO, so I'm obviously dumb

While I'm at it, here's how I post hands I played on BBO. Reviewing the hand record in the new (Flash) version of BBO, I simply click on Options -> Export Deal -> Handviewer Link. This will give me a URL such as

http://tinyurl.com/7z7qfjw

I open this in a browser and get redirected to a URL....

This can again easily be converted to forum code like so:

[hv=sn=mgoetze&s=............

I can create and view the Handviewer Link, but it still doesn't seem to work if pasted into a post and I can't see how to convert it to forum code (which I have no problem understanding or editing if necessary).
Help please?

Cut and paste the URL into a forum post
Replace the beginning stuff up to the question mark with

[hv=

At the end of the URL, add

]400!300!

(Adjust width and height to taste).
Add comments, if any, like this.
Finally close with

[/hv]

Thanks!

Here's the guide for dummies that I wrote to remind myself

HOW TO INSERT A DIAGRAM WITH PLAY IN A BRIDGEBASE FORUM POST

1. Reviewing the hand record in the old (Flash) version of BBO, click on Options -> Export Deal -> Handviewer Link.
This will give a URL such as: http://tinyurl.com/7z7qfjw

2. open this in a browser and get redirected to a long URL

3. copy this long URL and paste into the body of a new bridgebase forum post

3. remove text up to and including "?"

4. precede with "[hv="

5. append "400|300|[/hv]"

6. add any comments in () brackets

7. preview and adjust if necessary.

For reference, you can skip step 3 entirely.

Et voilà! Here's how it looks like:

OK, so the obvious question is... how did north think he would win the first trick? Or any tricks for that matter? Or was he so pissed off with partner for outbidding him on this hand... ?

BTW, I think it would be a slightly better hand if all 4 hands played their respective Aces on trick one...
