Just downloaded a turn from an opponent in drop box and when I place it into the incoming email folder and go to play the turn it does not show up on the game screen? Argh...

i hate to be that guy ... but are you certain it is in the correct folder? Every time I cant find a turn, it isnt where it is supposed to be.
Make sure you two are playing the same version of your game. I played a game once when my opponent ungraded to the next version of the game in the middle of our ongoing battle without telling me. When he did so, after I placed his next turn into my incoming folder, the turn did not show up on my game screen. Once he told me he upgraded, I upgraded as well. Then everything was fine.
Just a thought …

Yes its the right game I tested his previous turn and it loaded just fine... I'm going to have him re send it and if not he will have to re do the turn I guess... Appreciate the reply!
Good point!
Before having him redo the turn, have him just re upload the file so you can re download it. This is rare but does happen where the file gets corrupted or doesn’t download fully or successfully.

I have also seen people accidentally create a short cut to the file in drop box instead of copying the full file. That will also cause the turn to not appear in the list.
It was the patch upgrade that caused it...
I know I'm late to the game but I've seen where there is a space added between the file name and number for some reason and that screws things up.
e.g.
name001 and name 001

name001 and name 001
