I've used the Full Disclosure editor in the Windows version of BBO to create a convention card. When my convention card is in use, where on the screen do opponents who use the current web version look to see the bid explanations?

There is a solution in two easy steps :
- install BBOalert browser addon : https://addons.mozil...addon/bboalert/
- start a BBO session and import your BSS file
Your bids will be automatically alerted in the same way as it was the past with Full Disclosure.
With BBOalert, the time you invested in building FD CC data will not be lost.

BBOalert replaces fully FD in web browser environment and offers additional features. See project page : https://github.com/stanmaz/BBOalert

They pop up on the screen the same as normal alerts.

I've been using BBOalert for several weeks now, and find that Stan Mazur, the author, has been extremely helpful as I learn how to set things up for my regular partners. He has made several significant additions to it in response to our conversations.

I don't do Windows so never used the Windows software.

The github link above has quite a few configuration files in its Systems folder including BBO Advanced 2/1.

BBOalert is available as an extension for the FireFox browser which is the easiest way to use it. It also works with Google Chrome, but that's not automatic, and requires one download the software as a zip file from the github site, and manually install it in Chrome. I use Chrome as my default browser on my MacBook Pro, but use FireFox for BBO.

I have set up some shared files on docs.google.com so that my partners and I can easily keep up with the Latest & Greatest configurations we play.

To use it, simply get your configuration into your clipboard (ctrl-A ctrl-C or cmd-A cmd-C on Mac) then log into BBO and press the Import tab at the top of the screen to load your configuration. Set the split screen option on BBO's Account->Settings screen and turn on Confirm Bids and Confirm Cards (a good idea in any case). As you play, alerts will automatically show up in the bid box. You can manually enter alerts for those that aren't in your configuration file. BBOalert keeps track of alerts you make manually, and will put those changes into your clipboard using the Export tab at the top of the screen in the correct format to add to your existing configuration file on docs.google.com or your system.

Another very useful feature is keyboard shortcuts that are useful to describe your system, signals, carding, and things like with a couple of keystrokes.
