But having people's passwords allows me to check on time to time what is going on. I will try to avoid any NGW2 situation by closely monitoring the game. Making unhelpful comments from time to time will just be a compensation for not playing that game.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

I think PBW is down again? I can't ping the name or IP...

And a browser doesn' come up either..

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

I have a recurrent (it hapenned three times during the two Last months) problem, maybe someone else got it too : I send my file to the server by email, and nothing happens (no acknoledgment, and the status remains "awaiting turn" on the PBW site). sometimes, the turn is processed with a day delay, sometimes not.
After a day, I generally send the turn with the web interface, but the Last time I try this, the AI played the turn instead of me, even if the status was "ready for turn" on PBW site.

I currently have the problem with both homecoming 2 and sweet victory game. Hope I won't miss a turn again, the situation is critical...

I get that a lot. Not sure why it happens.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

When I used Opera to upload plr files my turn orders were corrupted fairly often so I missed turns. After I moved to use Explorer I haven't had any problems.

This can be useless information for you but I'll post it still because it caused a lot of problems to me.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Email is unreliable. More so for some people then for others. Some people use the email and never have troubles. Some consistantly have troubles. My suggestion is if you are one that has problems with email don't use it. Use the web interface only to upload your turns.

The email problems have cropped up for me in the past three days or so. The turns just never appear--I never get the acknowledgment email. Never had any problems uploading though, with Opera or Explorer.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Actually, no problems with PBW site. I thought this was as good a place as any to remark that the PBW site seems to have a better up-time than this forum does. I'm surprised at the number of time this place is unavailable.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Actually that is our goal. To have our site up at least as often as Shrapnel's. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Hat's off to you Geo...Is it just you keeping the server up? or do you have hepp? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Of course, KOTH aside, there may be problems with the site right now. You doing some work?

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

That is stinky! I tried to access the site and after getting the initial "Graphics or Text" screen, I received an internal message error. I then tried emailing my turn to the site, but apparently I didn't get it there in time, and the next turn generated.

I can't even begin to imagine what kind of work goes into maintaining the site!! Slinky, I take it I'm not the only one who can't access right now?

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

I dunno, Cheeze. But I get the same as you do. Hopefully, it's something simple.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

is it down today ???

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Try it now.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Looks GREAT ! Glad it was simple!

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Geo, once again, thanks for keeping the site up and running. I am just a victim of my own laziness in not taking my turn sooner.

Yes, I am an addict. I'm on vacation and still making time to play. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Hmmm, wonder why it seems to be me asking this question so much. I can get here and to Yahoo, but not to PBW site. Any others out there having problems?

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Nope, I can't get there either..

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Site is unavailable to me also.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

Well, looking on the bright side, I have 4 turns waiting for me in my inbox... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

I reckon Geo-meister will get her back on her feet, though.

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
 

It figures, I finaly get vested and excited about BPW and Thunk
I'll have to be patient about thrashing slykess

Re: PBW Site Problems ?
