Signed up to apterous today, I can probably only manage to log in (to the main java applet, website is fine) once in every 40-50 attempts, but I'm far more concerned about the behaviour once I DO get in:
I seem to be able to RECEIVE games fine. Soon as I got in the first time I played the duel that was waiting for me, and then Charlie challenged me first to a practice and then a proper game. No problems.
However, it all kicks off when I try to START a game, with the following effects:
- The game appears in the 'my challenges' box but never changes from "pending your opponent's response". I have not yet been able to ascertain if the user in question even receives my invite.
- I cannot retract the challenge. The retract button does nothing.
- Clicking on someone's name in the list no longer brings up their user panel (the tab title changes to the name I have clicked, but no details are given, and practise/rated/custom buttons are all greyed out) - see this image for a screenshot explanation
- According to a couple of people I asked in the chat box (which itself has never worked on any of my successful login attempts until this one) my name is removed from the user list.
What a frustrating day, hope someone can help.
