Did you set a password and change your player name?
Is the save "3880 BC to player 1"?
I'm not sure that I follow you ... but after you press Enter to end your turn, you should get a dialog box that says something to the effect of "the save has been placed in your PBEM folder". You then click the OK button and send that save on to the next player (I presume fed1943). The save will be located under the "\My Games\Civ4\Saves\pbem\DG2 PBEM" folder. It is not necessary for you to go do a save yourself. The end turn function creates the save.then what? If I go to save then I don't get the blah, blah, blah to player 1 name. If I press enter, I still don't get that right name. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Well, fed1943's method does not give a different result. I don't get a dialogue box when I press enter to end my turn. I just get a flashing message on the bottom of the map about waiting for other civilizations. I'm at a loss here guys. Should I e-mail the save to a nuetral party (Conroe?) to see if they can figure it out?
You should wait a bit when the waiting for other civs thing appears. All the calculations to enter the next turn (eg barbarian moves/appearances) are done after the last player (you) played. That's probably what's taking some time.
I had a look at the save (DG2_PBEM_BC_3940_to_Player4.Civ4SavedGame) that DutchFire sent to Donsig. And I have no clue what the problem is. But, I'm pretty certain that it isn't anything that Donsig has done wrong. As I'm getting the same results that he is reporting.Conroe said I could e-mail him the saves so I'll do that and also wait to see if these screenies generate any more tips.
