Both of those games had empty logs, and the backups were empty too. So, there was nothing left to do but delete them. I suppose moves were made while fpd-indexing-funcs.php was buggy, and this caused the logs and backups to be written as empty files.

For security reasons, signing in with an OpenID will first sign you out of any accounts you are in. If the OpenID you are signing into matches one linked to an account, it will sign you into the account. If the OpenID does not match any OpenIDs linked to accounts, but its verified email address matches an email address that is used for exactly one account, it will sign you into that account, and it will link the OpenID you signed in with with that account. So if you then sign in with a different OpenID account that has the same verified email address, it will not sign you into your account, and it will not change the OpenID associated with your account.

The security risk is that if you walk away from your computer while signed on, someone else could sign in with an OpenID and gain access to your userid. By signing you out of your account first, this security risk is eliminated. If you want to change the OpenID linked to your account, you will have to do it by first signing in with an OpenID, then signing into your CVP account. As I have time, I'll also add a confirmation on that, so that you cannot change which OpenID is linked to your account by accident.

I have added the ability to take back moves, and I have removed some more
bugs. Yesterday, the PBM was mailing the wrong URL to users. Instead of
putting your userid in the URL, it would put your opponent's there. That
is now fixed. I also fixed how it displays movelists with branches.

To take back moves, use the drop down menu displaying the movelist to go
back to the last move you want to keep in the game. This should be one of
your opponent's moves, not one of your own. Although the menu is supposed
to disable all of your past moves in the list, Internet Explorer ignores
this. I'll have to change it so that selecting one of your moves takes
you back to one of your opponent's moves. The last move should be one of
your opponent's moves, so that the next move will be yours. You should
not just select the past move in the menu; you should click the 'Go'
button to go back to it. Once the board is updated, you can make a new
move from that point in the game. When you verify your move, your new move
will appear at the end of the movelist, and all moves between it and the
move you went back to will be branched out of the main game. They will
still appear in the movelist, but your new move will now continue the main
branch of the game.
