PBW Game Log Question

Kewlness! I'll check it out. I'll take a guess at what it means...that you can configure so that when you finish your turn it loads automatically to the PBW site and game?

Not only loads it. But downloads the turn and opens the game for you.

The only downside is that if you get disconnected, your game will close. This can be frustrating if you have some time invested in the turn.

That's one plus to having DSL and not having to worry about that unless power goes out.

Sure, sure, rub it in for us poor dialup Users.

Well possibly losing a turn is a concern. I have cable and the network in our house is completely on an UPS. So, we get about 10 minutes of power and cable (the hub and cable modem plugged into the UPS, too) even if the power goes out...which it did 2 nights ago during an electrical storm. (but sometimes, 10 minutes isn't enough time to finish a turn

)
