Doesn't take if you have a long player or civ name

I am using the latest patch and have problems with leader customization though.

Eureka! This may explain why I have been unable to customise all my titles to "Comrade".

Wow, I had not expected so much help. Thanks folks! 
BTW, I have since tried another multiplayer game, and have been able to customise both the leader and civilisation names successfully. I think things went wrong because I was using titles that were far too long. Grand, but too long.
finber, those're wise words regarding the auto-save glitch. Nice one
kengel, that link'll come in handy. I will pass it on to all my Civ playing comrades, who are non-Apolytonite foreigners, the dogs.

One other query for the lads: My ISP is BT (British Telecom). With the package I, and one of my civ pals currently have, We are automatically cut off after two hours. This is not a 'fault', this is how our contracts work, presumably to stop us from wasting the free time we get after 6 o'clock GMT.
Getting to the point, I know we can all load back up if one of us is disconnected, but can anyone forsee(sp?) problems rising up due to this issue? Thanks again

Cheers, Ming, finbar
I should really cane the Great Library rather than taking your good selves' time up, but I like getting advice direct from you old pros too much (flattery will get me everywhere...  )
OK, you've all done me proud so far...I'm doing nicely in our first game, with my Machiavellian schemes going off left right and centre.
Another glitch I've spotted: Whenever I try to barter for techs with the host, All the techs in the entire game, discovered or otherwise, are listed as available for trade when I go into that part of the diplomacy screen. We, as players, have not yet taken the opportunity to explore the phenomenon any further, and I wondered if anyone here has experienced this.
I dare say it's something that's addressed in the patch(es?), which brings me to my next concern: If we all patch ourselves up in mid-game, will that cause problems, and force us to restart?

If I'm playing with people I'm not familar with, I will do my normal save, but save by year... never overwriting, but having a year by year track of the game.
If I'm playing with people I know and trust, I usually just overwrite the file... making sure I have a current save, and one that is a few turns old.
I like keeping the second file, because sometimes, you aren't notified that a person has dropped, and you don't notice it until you get an ICQ message, or use chat with kings and see a player is missing. If the AI controls a civ for even one turn, it can do serious damage to a players overall strategy. I have no problem replaying a turn or two so that the person isn't screwed

Right, turn-by-turn saves it is, then.
We've got a few games on the go simultaneously, now. This is because sometimes not all of us are on-line, and the rest of us want a game. I am hosting one of these sub-games, so is it best to save during my turn, or during someone elses? (IE: The player after me, or the player before me.)
Also, where do multiplayer vets stand on double move/production? I can see it's a useful method to get the game moving quickly at the start, but after a while it get's a bit ridiculous. It's 950 BC, and I've already got cities generating pollution, such is their rate of shield output.
Is it established practice to switch off double move/prod when things start to pick up a bit? I am dreading the point where we enter the nuclear age on double move...on a medium map we'll have missiles that can hit just about anywhere in the world!!!
