Status: offline 		For two turns, the message I sent to my opponent appeared copied as the opponent's message on my next turn.
My opponent told me that the same thing had happened to him in another PBEM that he was playing.

Note: Save shift reports in case they are needed.

Is that in the Beta or live version?

Appears to be find in my games.

I did not write back on the message last turn so I will test that on my next turn.

Potentially it's as you say above - happens when the opponent doesn't write anything.

It has happened in both my .09 games but only when the new pbem server started working. My messages came back to me as if they were my opponents'. STill getting repititions.

It has always worked the same way and hasn't changed from 16 months ago.
The code is the same.

With respect Alvaro, that has not been my experience. It has always been the case that if I wrote a message to my opponent and he does not respond, then on my next turn if I check messages it says something to the effect of "There are no New Messages". I think if it had repeated my message back to me as having originated from my opponent I, and others, would have noticed this before. This is something new that is happening since Slitherine updated the pbem system.

Before updating servers it didn't work like that.

I will ask Matrix as the message is passed in their data structure and test it out myself.

I don't understand what is wrong?!

I successfully passed messages between myself.

Although if possible it would be better to keep your own messages and those of the opponent from the last turn so as not to forget the thread if you spend a lot of time between turns.

+1 I often find myself unable to understand an opponent's response to a message from me because I have completely forgotten what I was writing about
