PBW status

Ok, the site does seem to be communicating better at the moment. I was able to get in and turn the auto procesing back off so if your turn has not run yet it should not unless all the players upload, or if the game owner manually kicks it off. That should eliminate further game issues until we can work out what exactly is happening.

Ok, my opponent says he didn't have problems, so apparently what happened to me was:

I didn't get the latest turn in email during the "down time", so I sent my turn once in email and then uploaded it again for the next turn, resulting in the game running using the wrong plr file for me, with screwy results. Moral - if you're not certain what turn it is, load the current turn from PBW to make sure you send it the right plr file.

Good advice. Nine times out of ten that I have checked out games where the AI played a turn for somebody, it has been that they uploaded a previous turn for one reason or another.

Just do a little dance (smoke a little bud haha like th AIM icon) and then you log on and it might work, it is working now so i think it could be an intermittent thing, the dance is important.

Long Live PBW (how do you say that in latin?)

Have you got any ETA for turning auto processing back on? The site seems to have worked fine for quite some time now. Got any idea what caused the problems?

While the site does seem to be moving quite good and has been for the Last 12 hours, we are still seeing some symptoms. They aren't affecting any games, but until it's back to 100% I don't feel safe turning that back on.

Having auto-processing doesn't interfere with the operation of the games. It only means that it won't process at the turn timeout. The game will still process when all player turns are sent in, or if the game owner wants he can manually run the turn.
