I like the web app and hope it won't change much. But I would like to propose two changes.

1. In a suit contract, when dummy is the player on the left or bottom side of the screen, reverse the order of his suits so that trumps are shown on declarer's left, as they're supposed to be per the Laws.

2. Allow a player the ability to veto a concession by his partner. This comes up often enough to be worth stopping, usually when declarer has bid an unmakable slam and is such a poor sport that he decides to punish his partner by conceding ALL the tricks when that isn't even a possible outcome.

Unfortunately, BBO or BBO+ still does not have the feature I want the most! I want to be able to replay any hand I've played with Robots with a single click, either instantly or from my history (of course, the initial score would not change). Exporting the hands into a teaching table is too time consuming. [Other platforms] have this replay feature, so I don't understand why BBO can't do it!

I ask this every few years, but is BBO ever going to reprogram the hand display so that dummy is displayed in 4 columns of cards, trumps on the left as mandated in the bridge laws? Also, options for different colors of the cards, and different display orders of the suits. And rearranging the hand display so that the player's hand is at the bottom of the display.

The Windows version of BBO had this capability years ago, long before the web based version. Look no farther than RealBridge for what I consider to be a well designed hand display interface which they had from their first implementations.

And instead of clicking on a card or bid, add an option for drag and drop to play cards and make bids. This should reduce the number of unintentional misplays by a noticeable amount.
