And yet another question - at the top of the Vox or Ptw-demo forum, there is a site announcement - this one says Forum Reorganization. If I click on it, all I get is a screen with that one title bar, and the squiggly yellow v on the left. Clicking on it anywhere doesn't do anything. How do I see the announcement?

OK the forum announcement doesn't work for me. I just get a page that does not display any sort of announcement. It does have forum jump drop down menu.
In any case I also don't use the My Threads featuure. I have no idea how that works.Comment

I use 'my threads' a lot. I find it very useful. It is back up to 10 threads on the first page this morning. Hmmm..???Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

Has anyone here started a pbem game? And by start I mean being the administrator and setting it up.
I thought I would see how it is done. Page 40 on the manual explains what to do, but what screen are they talking about. If you load from the new game option, you get the regular 'you vs the AI' options.
If you load from Multiplayer - well you get the screen for setting up internet and other multiplayer games. I couldn't see any reference to pbem or the Add Human Player option mentioned on page 40.
Can someone advise please. Thanks.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

Choose host game in the MP screen and choose a PBEM game in one of the menues there."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal.Comment

OK - so I am in Multi-player - it says Staging Window at the top, I check host game - and then there are two other drop down menus.
The first asks for turnless, simultaneous movement, or turn based. No pbem - but I figure this is turn based. Right?
The other refers to the type of game - classic, regicide, etc.
And you can name the game and enter a password as game administrator.
But I can't get into the player setup screens to do anything - like add myself - or other players.

In the main MP window press on "location" to change it to local. Then click host and you'll have "Play by Email" as an option."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal.Comment

did you set the administator up correctly? I couldn't figure out how to do it without playing player 1's turn. It should be easier to set up a game as an administrator without being player #1.Comment

No - I didn't try that. I wasn't really setting up a game - just wanted to see how it was done. But Maybe I will walk through the whole process again.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

Hey El i - at the pause after that post - did I see quote from you. I wasn't paying attention, and by the time I saw it I didn't get a chance to read it. What did it say?Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

My "quotes" are neither funny nor interesting. I have no idea who added them to the quote database."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal.Comment
