One more thing I noticed with the mysterious 4 turns that show up for me.  It would seem that these are actually linked somehow to the actual games in my list.  At least, I think so.  Tonight when it became my turn in a tournament game, the turn counter did not change even though I actually had a turn to complete.  That game has now finished and my counter is now at 3.

got a screen shot showing the icon, and another showing the ingame posts...seems to be happening consistently when i post a message after my turn is over, but player is still launched. then go back to My Games tab, upon refreshing varying times later it shows up. if you want the shot send me an email that i can reply to.

In regards to the Message flag popping up when it's not supposed to, I've been getting it more frequently as well it seems.  Possible steps to reproduce: Make a message, take a turn (in that game or another?), go to My Games and the Message icon is there although without any new messages.

The turn counter is related to the testing for this thread - still trying to work out why this is happening: http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/1432p1/Realtime_game_alerting_-_testers_needed - Alpha if you can report bugs related to the turn counter there that would be appreciated as this thread is for general site bugs.

The message flag also has me stumped for now - I tried both those steps to reproduce and it doesn't happen for me. I'll keep looking!

I sent myself a message, and now I've got some bad blinkies...

I don't think I've seen it when it's someone else's message, seems to always be my message that flags the incorrect message flag.

when sorted by my turn, games aren't maintaining the turn timer sort...

Attempting to create a Scenario with a period in it results in:

Invalid characters in game name

There is a work around for that:  simple create a scenario and then rename it.

I added periods as allowed characters.

Tom - The work around above did work for periods before the fix.  Does your filter get applied when renaming?

No I need to check that one...

I saw this too.  It was when I posted something before everyone else had joined the game. 

finally noticed something that might help track this down. the icon shows up in the games list, but the 'new message' blinking words on the game page don't flash when that new post is your own.

Not sure what happened here.  Kjeld joined the game but then the player gave everything to CiscoKid and doesn't show anything going on with the territories he should have.  Here is the Log:

Yeah, it's really weird. I've got a "my turn" notification and see the game in my games list, but I'm not actually in the player list, and instead CiscoKid's in it twice!

While we're talking about Risky breaking stuff... just to be sure this doesn't have any wacky side effects, this game that Risky terminated ( http://www.wargear.net/games/view/57247 ) shows me and Risky as "Playing" and all others (with one additional player row for some reason) as Terminated.  I do not see the game as active or anything, just noticed it looked wacky there.

I'm really sick of being blamed for everything!

Did you fix it yourself Risky?

? Nope this hasn't been fixed.  My link was to a previous game, Risky's link is to the current (stuck) game.

Ah yes. Hmm that looks really bad! It'll need a terminate and complete restart to fix as the player assignments are wrong.
