George, you can still edit and comment on your submissions before they are "unhidden" by an editor.  (From the menu under your name you can find a link to your unreviewed submissions, and anyone with the url can get to it.)  I haven't cleared that submission yet because (as I said in a comment there) it seems too much like your other Wizard of Oz variants, and I think it would be better suited as a comment on one of those games.

(I think you receive an email when someone comments on your game, correct?  Does that still go through if the game is still hidden?)

Have you received my email submission for a variant? I use a Yahoo address, so I was thinking that it may have ended up in your spam folder.

I made a few changes to the symbolic set of shogi.  I added a copper general, and tweaked the "flip" so the base color is pink.  I feel it might be easier to a new player of shogi to identify enemy vs friends (pieces).  I made a zip file and sent it via email to webmaster at chessvariants.com (I think).  Is this the correct way to get a new chess set added to chess variants?

I didn't get the email. Try using the address found here: who/Editors.

To keep with the theme already established for my Symbolic Shogi pieces, I added some Copper General pieces using the alchemical symbol for copper. I don't think it is necessary to use color to distinguish Shogi pieces on opposite sides, and with this set, it could confuse things, because it already uses color to distinguish promoted pieces from unpromoted pieces.

Super.  Fergus, thank you so much for adding the copper pieces to your symbolic set.  :)  Now I have to make the time to do the coding.  I'm looking forward to using the new copper pieces.

The Yahoo address doesn't work; anything sent to it bounces.

Thanks for pointing that out. Apparently, no one checked the email for the past year, and Yahoo erased the inbox and made the account inactive. Using one of my verified email accounts, I got back into the account and changed the password. Editors who will make a commitment to checking this email account can ask me for the new password by email.

I have a code to create Piece in Piececlopedia. I’ve taken your template and written my text.

@Fergus: my friend Léopold de Labrousse, author of Devingt Chess, is trying to join you by e-mail but he is getting no answer. Actually, I had advised him to contact you for his problem, which is blocking him for more than 1 year (!) and I am not able to help him.

When he tried to connect he's getting this: "Cannot continue, because no row in the Person table could be identified".

Apparently there is a problem with his name ID.

As he was (1 year ago) facing a problem forbidding the connection, he tried to erase his account "Léopold De Labrousse", create another "Léopold Devingt", well, a very confusing situation and at the end, nothing works.

Maybe a source of error is the "é", e with accute accent, in his first name, Léopold. Or his last name which has a blank separation "De Labrousse".

I don't know.

Now, it is impossible to delete his account, despite his page shows the invite to do it, probably because he once played a game on Game Courrier.

Are you able to find a solution? His mail is leopold212@hotmail.fr

Thank you for him, he is eager to join us for our activities.

Okay, I got his email and replied to it.
