Hi all.

There appears to be major bug problems with the site right now. We've also been experiencing lag lately. I'm figuring one of two things has happened:

a) I screwed up the file reorganisation and it has borked everything (unlikely, as it was working for the first 12-24 hours after I did that)
or
b) Something happened to the server, and the provider has temporarily moved my site to another server, which is having issues with DB connection

I'm thinking it's a server problem, as the symptoms are very very similar to when I've had the entire site ported over to a new server before. I've only ever done that so that we have better software to work with, and then cleared all the games. This is pissing me off majorly, I will attempt to fix the problem on my end, but we may simply need to wait for the provider to stop screwing around, which may require me to spit chips at them.

Well, I've deleted all the games, and created a test game with my test account. Everything seems to be fixed now. I get the impression that something happened to the server overnight, right when someone was visiting the browse games page, which caused an auto-update function to trigger. If this function couldn't connect to the DB properly, maybe it screwed every game up. Not sure, I'll ask the provider to see what may have happened. In the meantime, I'll be looking into any cause on my side, though I don't believe there was a problem - as I said, it was working perfectly after the file reorganisation for 12-24 hours. Bugs don't lay dormant and then decide to strike

Just removed a game-killing bug that had infected all games. All games have been wiped, please make new games again, for another round of playtesting :P

I can say with about 99% confidence that there will be no more game bugs that kill games. All of the really major stuff has now been entirely sorted out. Team games may still cause some issues, but I strongly doubt that this will cause game death
