I think how this piece works needs reworking a bit, there are some problems with it.

The Download button in the map designer isn't dowloading the images. I can select a location, but then it doesn't do anything.

I think there was a recent change to not allow the abandoning of a capital city, which I think made attacking from a Capital City unable to use the Attack All or Attack/Transfer All buttons (get the error window that says you can't abandon your capital), but I think both of those should be available. Attack All you wouldn't get below 1 troop anyway, Attack/Transfer All should attack and transfer all except leave 1 troop if abandon is off (or abandon is On with Revert to Neutral).

(yes, I am being paraniod) ;-)

That's been my hypothetical explanation for this as well. I wasn't going to bring it up, because I like to know when I'm being secretly plotted against.

Yep good one will fix also.

What about an attack-all button to attack until you're out of men for maps like Enygma's Spy game. If you get 2 attacks and you're ready to commit to an attack it's frustrating that it attacks down until a 2v1 but to attack 2v1 requires you make a separate attack.

I want to be able to attack down to zero units if that's my committment for the continuous movement. This also comes into play on the Star Fish or Fish Wars map.

That's potential game changing logic with continuous attacks.  Continuous attacks have only been available when attacking with 3 troops (although on WF you couldn't continuous attack if you had only 3 to attack with, but here you can).  Since both Spy and Fish Wars uses limited attacks it could potentially "break" the map if it wasn't intended by the map designers. 

While I don't think I necessarily have a problem with it being changed, it should be does call for perhaps just a bit of caution.

You're right.  Oh, I am so thick, why did I mention it!!!  ;-)

You know what they say - it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

So, the thing near the top of my screen says '26 turns waiting', but I click on it and it says 'Displaying 1 to 15 of 25'. I've checked around, and I can't figure it out. It's been like that for a day or two. Help?

Edit: It's always 1 more than the number of games that I actually have a turn in. Oh, and I apologize to everyone... I shouldn't be holding up so many games. :-)

I have seen this as well and I think that your assesment is correct.  I was playing a game with a real world friend and mentioned this and it just happened that he had an unread private message.  As soon as he turned off the notification in his flash player it disappeared in my player as well. 

Semi-related, Emails aren't sent for In Game TEAM Private Comms Messages are they? At least I haven't received any today (message icon works correctly for them though from what I see).

No, they aren't at present... do you think they should be treated the same as a Private message? I'd say probably not, or maybe there should be another notification option for this.

I don't see why not.  Sometimes they are even more important than regular Private messages as far as team strategy goes.  Another notification wouldn't be bad either though I assume.

As long as we're discussing adding notifications, how about adding one for when it's your turn to select territories? I don't think there is one for that currently. Thanks!

You should get one each time it's your turn.. do you not get them? Or do you mean a specific setting for territory selection?

I normally get an email when it's my turn, but I don't for the territory selection phase at the beginning of games where this option is enabled. I don't think it needs to be a separate setting, though... the existing setting should just cover anytime it's your turn.

OK will take a look at that.

More out of curiosity than concern but what is supposed to display to the left of the Rating text for this?

14/02/2010    Added tab showing board ratings history within each player's profile

Risky's profile shows a past profile pic (http://www.wargear.net/players/info/RiskyBack/Board%20Ratings) where as some just show a hovering period (http://www.wargear.net/players/info/Yertle/Board%20Ratings and http://www.wargear.net/players/info/tom/Board%20Ratings).  At least that's what I see.

Also wording if a player has no Ratings seems odd (http://www.wargear.net/players/info/Electric%20Monk/Board%20Ratings): "No ratings have been submitted for this board"

Any restriction on this?

17/02/2010    Player - Don't display card icon when cards are not enabled on board

Fairly certain the Card icon was just present on a map that doesn't use cards, will double check again next round.
