when scrolling for a partner-in a tourney starting in say 30 mins-and scroll to someone whoom has a similar profile,and one invites-------and await a reply--up it comes "Nay/Yeah......assume yeah..
is it possible without the rig ma roll of marking them as a friend and then finding them--typeing a message such as do you play this and that??????which they miss because of chat traffic,and one has to wait till game starts to ask the odd question in addition to ones profile {mainly there is not enough room}
Suggestion--as there is 29 mins left before play both of us auto go to a "partnership room"to have a quick chat,to facilitate any questions from each of us---or has anyone any ideas to facilite my suggestion?

I think I have two suggestion in your style.

Being in this partnership room: better possibility to communicate with players on the list. Or even: make them friends. As is now, I can see their profile, but there is no good possiblility to make them friends - and find them and communicate.

Second; if they do accept the invitation; they become automatic friends.

Two suggestions; and or.

With either one, it will be much easier to talk with them, and perhaps agree to go to a partnership-bidding-room.

I dont believe in automatic move into a chat-room. Usually they do something else, like kibitzing.

proceeding:

This automatic friends have an extra plus: From the others point of view, ie the invited one.

This inviting hopefully does know whom he invited, and can find him among the neutrals with some work.

But the invited usually doesnt remember who invited, and thus - himself has no possibility to search out.

Similiar problem is btw with team-invitations: partner (and host) is often players you dont know.

Thus the feature, of accept=automatic friend (or at least, a pendling friend or something) - so I can find him while waitnign for the match, or getting disconnected - can refind.

It would be swell.

yes any move is in the right direction---whoom ever accepts one invitation,it comes up on the event --so no problem who has invited who

This gizmo works only in part. Ie if you both are waiting for the same tourney. Like the other day waiting for the JuniorsBBO-turney, when I was accessible as mentor, and got invitation from a junior I didnt know, and who wasnt in the pairing room...
But I could look us up in the registration room. This problem got successfully solved.

However, this dont work with a pick up where I dont know the turney nor the match... 99% I dont.

So, still, a automatic Friend, or automatic Temporary Friend For the Hour feature would be swell. Whichever is easier for the programmers.
