I've just successfully saved a settings file called 'Waffle Chess:default'. It's saved both under my own personal GC Settings Files page, and under the public GC Settings Files page. That's in spite of not ever being presented with a password field, if that's supposed to still happen within an editing session, as per the GC user documentation.

Most of the difficulties I've had must have been caused when I simply kept trying to save a settings file to called 3D Chess War:default, when unknown/unsure to me a file (of mine) of that name had already been saved under the public GC Settings Files page (that page only, for some reason, as I alluded to in my previous post). I kept being told I was not the author, and assumed it was because there was no password field ever presented for me to use. It seems that instead that I was being told this because a settings file of that name already existed, regardless of who was the author (unbeknowst to me). It thus seems it could have been helpful if GC could somehow have told me that such a settings file of that name already existed, at least (whether or not I was editing the original file of that name, perhaps).
