Interesting. Ill look into it.

Can anoyone provide some more information on this?

yea it does it to me wen ever i update them to my allies list they get deleted

Yes I second what he said when I update my allies are deleted 

Your allies never even make it
Whatever you are doing doesn't even register as saving allies according to the page.

You have no row in the database listing your allies.
Very strange eh?

I have Party Boy and  Glen Quagmire to prove this I have made alliance with them then when I updated my allies they went like gone/deleted 

my  2 wont work so i just moved everyone else one rank down. and every now and then when i try and press update, it ends up blank also.
