I've been trying to enter orders from the web forms I receive, but none of my orders for any of my turns since starting a game seem to have registered. Every turn report, I have gotten a message that says that they never got any orders from me. 

Can anybody help me with this? I use Yahoo Mail from Safari 4.0.3.

Hi Anderson Wayne - 

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble submitting moves (though I must congratulate you on using the "correct" operating system -- we are all Macs here!).

I can see two places where a bug might be at work.  Either way I probably have some work to do.

First, something on the Yahoo side:  when you submit your moves, you should get a confirmation screen, and also a confirmation email.  Are either of those going to you?  (If so, can you forward the email confirm to moderator at websofpower.com?  Or try a new move and get a screenshot of the confirmation screen and forward that?)  I've sometimes had trouble with webmail clients "rearranging" HTML file attachments and breaking them.  

The less worrisome bug would be if you'd gotten the confirmations and yet the game hadn't bothered to move your troops around.  I'd be very surprised by this, but it's actually probably easier to fix.

You can just message me directly to follow up.  We have a down period during the Winter Holidays (last update is Saturday the 12th).  In the event that we don't get you up again by the 12th, we'll have about 2-3 weeks to work the issue behind the scenes...
