as the Birds uploaded their turn quite fast, and it appears that they missed the prior turn, is there a way to check and see if their current turn upload is current ( not stale?)

The OK always refers to a current turn. Stale or damaged turns are not accepted and will show up as missing.

deffli already contacted me about that because he suspected the turn to have been ignored. I had analyzed the logfiles and we came to the conclusion that he probably uploaded the turn for the other game by accident.

My policy is to give re-hosts only for server errors. The whole point of this being an automatic system is to give equal objective rules for everyone, at least for "real" games like this one (i.e. no advantages for people that have my phone number). Of course, if you wish a different policy, I'm listening.

To make sure you don't upload the wrong turn, use the upload function on the game page (not the one on the host overview page), which will verify that the turn is for the game you think it is for. Or, read the green turn upload confirmation panel a little more exactly :)
