You could have told us that when you reloaded the game. It would not have meant that four players missed the turn.

At least the sky did not fall.

It would have been nice, because of that one missed turn I will now lose the game. 
I didn't know until Fosse pointed out the possibility. That's when I checked, and let you know.

Research and production should still have continued... So you may only have missed one turn of moving some unit(s)

Sorry for today's wait on me, but that was all Verizon's fault, not mine ('net was out all day)

I am having problems connecting to the game. I seem to be able to connect to the host, but get no farther than that. I cannot get into the game, so I will reload to see if there is a problem on my end, if not, then I will say so.
EDIT. I tried again and got the same problem, so there must be a problem at the hosts end.

I got onto every other Pitboss that I played today and this was the only one I could not get into. From another Pitboss it could be a problem caused by people not first exiting to the main menu and then exiting the game. FI people do this then there is no problem, but if people just exit straight to the desktop from playing th turn, it tends to give problems at the host end.

Success. 
Success.
Looks like you were absolutely right Classical. It was on my end.
My apologies.

Well it seems that other players got on in between, so there could have been something between the two computers that caused the problem, but it is good that it is solved and a new turn has been started.

You shouldnt exit to desktop, it seems that the pittboss keeps the connection open or something.... Maybe it has been fixed because it was a vanilla thing, but I never do ....

I do desktop.
This seems to make the PB not recognize when I log out and after a few min it shows up on civstat that I logged out at the correct time.

Exiting to Desktop doesn't hurt you, it hurts the host. Hosts will slow down appreciably if anyone quits straight to desktop. Since the first days of Pitboss it's been noticed as a contributor to laggy and unstable servers. As a host, please always exit to desktop.
It's so ingrained in me now I do it for my single player games, too.
