Hi

Let us know if you have any trouble

[hayertjez]

@beelee Thanks for the support, I have encountered an issue using the desktop client. I have registered the issue in github.

The version of the forum software currently does not allow TripleA to post to the forum.
You need to either manually post turn summary and savegame or use https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/ .

Hmm ... I actually haven't tried to start a new forum game since the switch. I'll give it a try and see if I get similar results.

I see you are on Mac. I just tried with linux and it worked for me.

I used PBEM but it should be interchangeable with PBF. It used to be anyway.

Here's what I did

Hit "Test Server" for the initial start. You don't need to do it every time. Then fire it up.

You don't need to do the Email Provider thing as it doesn't work since the latest nodeBB update.

You could try in PBEM I guess and see what happens

Triplea and mac can be problematic at times but @ubernaut has no issues with his current game. I don't think he's tried starting a new game yet though.

Edit
Ahh it looks as if Panther found your issue

@beelee yeah that’s what i’ve been doing in my game with @nothingtoseehere the issue is with the forum i believe

@ubernaut @beelee

This forum currently runs with NodeBB 4.10.3.
As this version is not compatible with the way PBF is executed, problems using PBF occur.
Basically: TripleA can't log you in and post to the forum for you.

(A&A .org runs with NodeBB 3.whatever - what is compatible with TripleA.)

PBEM works as it does never touch the forum.
