I am getting an error after trying to attempt to edit one of the games I invented.  Once this error occurs, it seems like the entire chess variant web site becomes unstable.  Below is a cut and scrape of the messages I get after the system gets corrupt.  My computer is a desktop, win 10, Firefox 56.2 borwser.

I'd say this issue started over the last 1 to 3 days.

I am trying to make a new game called Flank_Chess also, and that entire sub-program seems corrupt.

If you click on that one, the launch seems to go into an infinte loop, and I get a timeout, once that occurs everything is messed up.  Including jumping to other web pages at chess variants.    I was programming a sub-program  last night around 10PM and the entire web site frooze up. 

It's hard not to beleive that it was not my fault.  If it was me, sorry. 

What can I do to prevent this?

Based on past programming, once a program goes bad (feeding program play.php), I can never edit the program ever again.  What I do is "reset" my creation back to standard chess, and type everything back in.  It is painful.

Fergus, you've designed hundreds of games.  What do you do when an edit session is saved and it contains a bug/error?
