Right then - I think this problem might be my fault!

I completed the turn yesterday on schedule but I think I forgot to email it on, though I am pretty sure I did.

Alas, I have sent the turn of 3460BC to Sandover - hoping that I have found the issue.

Many many apologies if this is the case!

Got it now, and it's the right turn so I think it's safe to blame Twinkletoes for this one.smoke My paranoia tells me it was all on purpose to gain extra time to catch up on me in the post count!wink

Played and sent it onwards so we're rolling again.

So you guys know - I have the save, and Darrell is going to help us with changing the game name (you need the admin password to do it). I sent it on to him, and when he is able he'll fix it, pass it back to me, and I should have the turn played tonight in time to get it to timmy. Hopefully this will fix our pbemtracker woes... Hopefully smile

Well the tracker successfully sent the save, but it's still not showing who's up for the turn, it just shows the date.

Got it! Timmy and Bob both have spaces in their in-game name, so I changed those to underscores and it is now working properly.

Do we have any guarantee that this tracker is going to work?

Also I still don't know how it exactly works? I have only been emailing my saves as a result

No guarantee, but it is now telling us who is up, which it hasn't done yet. It's been working fine for PBEM2 so it should be okay... Here's the gist of it.

1. Go here: http://pbemtracker.com/game.php?gameID=52

2. If it is not your turn, you can see who is up. If it is your turn, click the "Upload turn" button.

3. Hit "Browse" and select the most recent save

4. Hit submit.

And that's it. I emailed it to timmy and used the tracker as well, so I'll wait to have confirmation from him that he got it twice.

Yes, that worked and I got an email from the tracker (Sorry, just got home quite late tonight). I did tracker + conventional email to SleepingMoogle for redundancy as well.
