Save Game Thread

[McMeadows]

perfect...
I checked my junkmail and didn't find a mail from you (as you're not in my address list yet)

[Krill]

wierd. i'll make sure it works next time. ii'll sed the email separately, and check that way...

[McMeadows]

no worries... Thanks for taking the effort

[McMeadows]

Nothing received, just like Snoopy. And I can't play untill I get home in 10 hours.

[Paddy]

such a shame... we were on a good run there

Krill, looks like you need to get them email addresses all sorted

[Krill]

I have resent the save to each person individually. I also tyuped out the addies by hand (and I will endevour to learn them as well), and to both gmail accounts, eoddemogame and euphorica.

I wonder what may be the problem

I have copied the emails of everyone and placed them in our private forum. Everyone reported last time I have sent it that the save was received.

And Krill has the same list as me. Really strange

McMeadows, do you have problems with other games too or this happens only with us?

[Kloreep]

Do either of you have access to a website somewhere you could use to upload the saves? If you stuck to a prearranged naming format, McMeadows and Snoopy could just download it from there if they didn't get the e-mail; and so long as you didn't post the site's url and folder path, it wouldn't be posting it in the open like attaching it or using links here would. (I don't think you could use poly upload; IIRC it won't give you the file if you weren't referred from a poly link. But any free hosting service or personal website would work, right?)

Edit: Actually, you could use poly upload if you PMed a link to them.

I am confused a bit here, does not your email provider allow you to set up "group contacts" for this very thing?

so once you have it set up, and tested, you use the "group" each time you forward the save

[Krill]

I did that.

It did not work.


I don't actually have a problem learning the addies. My photographic memory helps alot in that respect.

[Paddy]

Krill, what "brand" of email do you use?

[Krill]

freedom2surf. Basically name.name.f2s.com

Worked for all of my PBEMs, even though I have not sent emails to hotmail before, but i have sent plenty to gmail and yahoo.

[Paddy]

Well from what I read you should not be having any issues at all.
They sound like they are well set up.

Freedom2surf offers you the most advanced email options for complete flexibility and control. Just look at these features and benefits:
Webmail
Read and post email from anywhere in the world using our web based email system.
Full SMTP Support
You can also send and receive freedom2surf hosted emails from any network using an email client. Our outgoing and incoming mail servers are available to you from any internet connection so you don't have to rely on the mail servers of the isp you connect with..
POP3 Support
Fully supports the POP3 standard and can be used from email programs such as Microsoft Outlook Express and Netscape Messenger.
IMAP Support
For those who work from multiple locations the email service also supports advanced IMAP access.

Do you then run this through a system like "Outlook"?

There had been a spelling error in my e-mail address on your list before. With the other games I play I have no problems. Hotmail has been a problem for a while when it had an automatic virusscanner that claimed all saves were virusses, but that has been solved.

Anyway got the save earlier today and it is allready been passed on (by BOH as well)...

[Paddy]

indeed received and played

would be good to have this situation sorted though

we have the opportunity to get some good speed happening with this game
