All,

Where do they come from? How do I set them up? I'd like them to be handy for "chat".

Thx

From the main BBO page, click on "Help" along the top.
From the drop-down menu, select "BBO Help".
Click on "Click here to open our help system in a new browser window."
From the list of many topics, choose "Common on-line abbreviations and symbols in Chat". (It's near the bottom of the list.)

exclamation point followed immediately by:
S = ♠
H = ♥
D = ♦
C = ♣

That is !H is chat gives you a ♥, and !S = ♠ (no space between the Exclamation point and the letter)

Oh, those you can't do with any magic. Anyone who does is an aberration :-)

Seriously, though, it's possible; but they really are abominations and should never be used.

On the other hand, I think the same of Gerber; so take my advice as you will.

I'm amused that the same person upvoted both copies of the duplicated post.

You could create a new account, and create a thread with 10 copies of LOL, LOL, LOL, that same person will upvote the 10 copies, but only because she is not allowed to vote each more than once.

Welcome to the forums, bwarder. Please notice that there are seperate sections for discussion of bridge in general versus BBO specifically. I've moved your thread to the BBO-specific area.

You only posted that to get upvoted, didn't you.

My guess is you'd get 10 copies of " ♥ ♥ ♥ WHY? ♥ ♥ ♥"
