After the click on 'Verify' I type my password and click 'Send'. The
answer is You are not one of the players in this game; so your move is rejected'. I tried many 
many times, allways refused.

Sorry, I will not bother you but my opponent Lee Edwards is waiting my
move. I wonder if it exists a mean to send him a message telling him I am
not passed out ;-)

sorry, I just checked and that user doesn't have an e-mail address listed.
 

I just tried something.  Please try making your move again.  There is a
chance that it will work now.  And if it does, please let me know.

Sorry Greg Strong, the result is the same : 'You are not one of the players in this game; so your move is rejected' :-P

Oh well, it was a long shot.  For the record, I'm not an administrator so
I'm not supposed to have the power to fix anything.  But I did discover a
security flaw earlier today, which I reported to Fergus.  It is possible
that as I discovered that bug, it was my experiment that caused the
problem with your game.  I appologize if that is the case...

You tried to help me therefore you are forgiven, please don't apologize
:-)
I am waiting anxiously the solution from Fergus.

There was no security bug, and there is no chance that what Greg did would
have affected your game. A piece of code, which made the userid all
lowercase, was in the wrong place to do its job effectively, and the
result was that your userid needed to be entered entirely in lowercase to
be recognized. I moved the code to where it is effective, and now you may
enter your userid in any combination of upper and lowercase. So, if you
had entered your userid as 'centaure', you would have encountered no
problem, but you probably entered it as 'Centaure' instead.

Hi Greg!
This morning (in Belgium) sending move works :-)
Cheers, Paul.

Exactly, I allways enter 'Centaure' not 'centaure'. Thank you very much
to Greg and Fergus for the help :-)
