What does error 23 mean when uploading a turn to server?

I remember watching about the Apollo program and they used numbered error codes. Showing those to the user in 2011 with no explanation...

Tried 5 times, still same error.

"23" is the server saying the upload failed because it is "not your turn" to perform a save. The explanation from the Slitherine server people is that this most likely indicates an earlier attempt to save/upload actually succeeded but returned an invalid (or no) result code to the program. The program then reports this as a 'fail' to the player, although in fact if was successful. THe player then tries the save, generating the '23' result.

The next update to the program has modified handling of "23" errors so that they are treated as 'success' if this is retry of an earlier save/upload.

In the current release code you should be able to 'cancel' the rety loop if you receive a '23' code on the second or subsequent attempts to save/upload. You turn should have already successfully been saved at the server.

Thank you.
