Default 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.

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.

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.

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.

Actually that is our goal. To have our site up at least as often as Shrapnel's.
