For me the CVP is really really slow. It's really a pain. What's going on?

It seems to have gone away.

Same to me.

For me, too!

@ Fergus:

This CVP site has been painfully slow (for me anyway) for at least a couple of weeks, especially when trying to move on GC. Any idea what's happening?

That's now fixed. The function for the Waffle, which moves as a Wazir or an Alfil, was using the W function, which is for the Woody Rook, instead of the WZ function, which is for the Wazir. Since the Woody Rook moves as a Wazir or a Dabbabah, it took a situation like this for the bug to be noticed.

I'd like to report a bug in a Game Courier Preset for Chess With Different Armies:

In this game between Aurelian and me (lunaris-cvgameroom-2021-48-645) on my turn 17, the preset concluded on check, even though it wasn't the case. It didn't impact the game, since my opponent took my piece anyway, but it could have, preventing him from doing another move. I read that the preset was created by Fergus, so maybe you find some time to look into that.

Thank you, Armin

Okay, I turned on the group write bit for all log and log backup files, and I modified Game Courier to also turn it on. That should fix the problem.

In this private log my opponent tried to move but got an error saying the log backup failed https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Tiger+Chess&log=arx-agroden-2021-51-783

The database seems to be working now. I have adjusted the time controls for games to give ten extra days to make up for the downtime.

I got the invitation you sent in my email, but not the one I sent. Both are showing up on the group page, though.

Looks good Fergus.

I just sent a public invitation and received the email from the google group.

Thanks Jose

PS. Did you get the invitation for the game I setup? I didn't get the invitation for the game you had sent, but my membership to the group had not been accepted yet.

I have now updated Game Courier to use the cvgameroom at Google Groups. No one is automatically signed up for this. If you want to get emails about open invitations, you should sign up. I tried sending an invitation to it. I have not yet received it in my email yet, but I have seen it show up in the Google Group. So it may just be a matter of time.

Did you get to create the new email group at GoogleGroups?

I just created it now. I'll do something more with it tomorrow. In the meantime, you can sign up for it.

Hi Fergus,

Did you get to create the new email group at GoogleGroups?

xxxxxxxxxx@googlegroups.com

The cvgameroom@yahoogroups.com no longer works, as Yahoo decommissioned that service on December 15th.

Cheers.

Hello, Having tried the Metamachy preset with a personal invitation to myself, when I click "... to move" for the first move, I have the message "The invitation to play this game hasn't been accepted yet." and it is impossible to do a move, even after going back to the menu and returning to the game log. Is it that? Maybe you can try to send an open invitation, that your opponent could accept. I seem to remember that there could have been issues with personal invitations in GC.

Nobody can't help?

Nobody can't help?

Can someone help us? We try to play Metamachy with Numerist, I have the black pieces. When I click on one of the 4 which are in the center of the board, it activates (with a framed square) the 4 squares in the center of my lines, but how to move the piece in those squares? I've tried to click, to hold and drop the piece, nothing works. I've tried with Safari and with Firefox. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you

Yes Fergus.

The email group address would look like this:

xxxxxxxxxx@googlegroups.com

I just created a test list with two of my email addresses, and sent a test message to my new list.

Can you post a message to it by sending email to the group?

Fergus,

Yes it works too as the Yahoo Mailing lists.

I just created a test list with two of my email addresses, and sent a test message to my new list.

Got the test email on both of my email inboxes.

Google Groups is an alternative.

Isn't that just a web-based continuation of Usenet? Do Google groups work as mailing lists like Yahoo! groups did?

Fergus,

Google Groups is an alternative.
