Freeciv-proper has stable savegame formats for each version, and backward compatibility between these is guaranteed. Freeciv-2.6 will be able to load freeciv-2.5 saves, and freeciv-3.0 will be able to load freeciv-2.6 saves (as well as freeciv-2.5, freeciv-2.4, and freeciv-2.3 saves). Freeciv-web on the other hand uses development revisions between these stable formats. We try not to unnecessarily break compatibility with older development revisions, but a couple of times a year there's a situation where implementing the migration path between old and new development revision would be too much work, to take too much time away from implementing more important things.

I have a Samsung Chromebook. My games will save 3-5 times, and then the saves no longer show up when I want to load it up.

Do you have some more information about this? I see that you currently have 2 savegames. Many of your savegames were deleted, from looking at the logs. Do you still have this problem?

There is no user in the database called 'jss', and I can't find any error messages in the logs to indicate what went wrong.
Could you please try again to create a new user account? Perhaps try a different e-mail address?
If you get an error message, then please give the exact error message.
I see that you have managed to create many savegames on November 6 and 9th, with the name 'jss' without an account with a password.

There are now 727 users who have created 5471 savegames in Freeciv-web on the new savegame system. I think this is a good sign!

Improvements:
Sort the games list such that the most recently saved game is at the bottom of the list.
Pre-select (not load) the most recently saved game.
Set focus on the Load button.
Shrink the size of the load window, I can not view the whole window at once.

I have released an update now, which fixes the suggestions you have here.
There are now 11126 savegames on the Freeciv-web server.

Thank you.
This is so much better. The only thing I noticed is that although the most recently saved game was selected, the list was not scrolled so that the selected game was in view.

Everything seems to be working fine now. THanks.
