Nice job on the updates.   The web site is very stable.  I really like what you added to the play game section.  i.e. the checkmarks, the black background, and the new buttons to jump back to the game logs.

Yes, thank you. I have my own experience with 10% of the people doing 90% of the work. Thank you.

I'm glad people are liking some of the new changes to Game Courier. I started with making the backup procedure more robust and displaying the steps it goes through. I thought of displaying this like an old computer display with green text on a black background. But then I started using red for errors and yellow for warnings, and I liked how these colors showed up better against a black background. With this as a start, I decided to color code and organize everything Game Courier output when sending and logging a move. I also decided to use appropriate dingbats for each type of item. These helped make the nature of each item clearer. So, instead of having a wall of text that you had to read each time, you could glance at the green checkmarks and know things were going okay, pay attention to warnings and notices without mistaking them for errors, and quickly notice when there were errors. By organizing the output, I could also add more suggestions for what to do next. I made similar changes to the output from issuing and accepting an invitaion.

In the game courier move aftermath, I receive this notice : Notice: [email protected] was not used as the Reply-To address, because this user does not allow that.

What exactly don't I allow, and how do I solve it ?

The option used to be for allowing email sent in your name to forge your address in the From field. It no longer does that and instead uses the Reply-To field. To change this option, goto your Personal Information page, select Edit Person, and check the option "Allow scripts to use my email address in the Reply- To field when sending email on my behalf."
