The alternative to me seems to move the dealer button two places, or not to move it at all. In the first case, someone misses out on position, in the second, someone gets position twice in a row. I would say this would be a bigger problem than being big blind twice in a row.

If you have another alternative solution, I'd like to hear it.

at the moment, say the table is like this...

P1 Dealer
P2 SB
P3 Empty
P4 BB

if a player joins P3 half way through, the next round becomes

P1 Player
P2 Dealer
P3 SB
P4 BB

meaning P4 has been BB twice

all you have to do is make P3 sit out until dealer has passed

P1 Player
P2 Dealer
P3 sits out
P4 SB
P5 BB

next hand

P1 Player
P2 Player
P3 sits out
P4 Dealer
P5 SB
P6 BB

followed by next hand with P3 in.

Having said that, I am only asking if it is possible (well it is possible but is it not too much inconvenience) to do as I am not a programmer and do not know how difficult this would be to do.

dont take it awy from me tho what a great site i think this is even with that anomoly (sp?)
