The spam check just checks if you send tourney invites too frequently, it's checked at the sending time, not after checking whether it was successful.

Turn on the option to get notified when a friend signs on. Then wait for the option and invite him.

*OR* - program BBO spam check filter to ignore invites to offline players. This thread is after all in the Suggestions for the Software subforum, not BBO Support.

I am sure that this must be repetition, but I think that the inability to log on invisible in the web version is a significant weakness compared with the Windows downloadable client. I frequently log on without wishing to engage in chat with players who have marked me as friend, but then ignoring them seems rude, and marking them as enemies seems extreme (and some of them may actually be friends).

There's a checkbox for "log in as invisible" in the webclient, above "remember password". Did you mean the app?

Sorry you are right, belay that. I keep getting them mixed up

Again I encountered the problem I described in posts #32 and #33 of this thread. Summary: If I set up a pickup team game and get request to play by chat from players using the old software, it happens that I get the message that a seat is occupied though it is free. This is really a bug and I would like to know if you can reproduce it and if it is scheduled to be fixed.

Requests to sit issued by players using the web-client, where no chat is involved, always work.

Simple feature request: The ability to color-code or otherwise flag different kinds of friends. For example, I would personally like to be able to distinguish between people who I like to play with (including a small subset who are glad to do so) and people who would never play with me in a million years but who are worth kibitzing to learn.

I dont use this feature personally so maybe someone with more experience can help and/or correct me if I'm mistaken, but on the main page in the bottom right, click "My friends" then right click on one of your friends. A box pops up, click "Select category". Click "New Category" and if I understand it correctly, you can now assign a color to different groups or categories of friends in your list.

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle... Look at that. It works, Jeremy. Thanks!
