Possible order submission bug?
I know, I know, it's probably user error... mods, sorry to take your time, but please check the details within, as there's a live game with a potential example of the bug I'd like to report....
I know, I know, it's probably user error... but if so I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it, because it's happened to me more than once, I'm fairly sure; hasn't really hurt me yet, but I'd like to either get the bug fixed or figure out what I'm doing wrong before it bites me. So here goes:

The scenario always involves saving a set of orders, changing them and saving again, and seeing the original set of orders get executed instead of the changed set. I haven't nailed down the exact circumstances, but saving and going to ready, then unreadying, changing, saving, and going to ready again, may also be involved. I have just such a situation active now in gameID=72402 (I'm Austria). Check my comments to Italy for the original order; the modified order is entered, but the round is still active. I'd like to watch it and see if the bug happens. Something similar has already happened in another game I'm playing (details privately), and I've noticed it at least once before (but attributed it to my forgetting to save). I have been particularly careful lately and I keep getting original orders, at least sometimes.

Being a web software developer myself, I try not to throw bug reports around casually, but either there's really something going on here, or I have a serious misunderstanding about how to properly submit changes to orders. Thanks for your attention.

Like I said to you during that game, I've never had a problem with any of my orders when changing them. And I'm somebody that changes incredibly frequently.
Well, I'm certainly open to the possibility that I'm just getting something wrong... but I wanted to try to catch it live, if it's really a bug. And if it isn't, I need to know exactly what I'm doing wrong. As far as I can tell, I'm doing the right things in the right order... and occasionally I get the wrong results. I have a hard time believing I'm *that* careless... though I guess anything's possible. :)

Please email the mods with the details

Going over it on the forum causes issues since it is an ongoing game

Most cases are in fact user error, but we do take bug reports seriously
Thanks. I hate to take up the mods' time with something I'm not absolutely certain is a bug, but I wanted to give them the chance to catch it live if possible. Details coming shortly.

@Rufus - Always make certain the Save comes back with the check on all the orders you just changed before closing out or moving onto another page. Orders are AJAX and if you move on, they may not complete.
@Draugnar, thanks - lately (the last couple of days, since I've suspected there may be a problem) I've been double-checking them, and they have always come back with the check mark.

TEST PIE #1...Who is YOUR Recipe Guru???
My daughter (12) and I just put our test Pumpkin Pie in the oven. We are "pie makers" already - it's a family thing (gotta beat Grandma's pie!) Trying a modification to our old recipe based upon hints from America's Test Kitchen. Also a *huge* fan of Alton Brown. Both give scientific reason WHY they do what they do - appeals to the Engineer in me. Who is YOUR favorite recipe source?
