When I put in the forum cat# it says it doesn’t exist. If I try to test the forum, it says I don’t exist. Would love to play, but getting frustrated.
It looks like your game is
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39689/
so enter the 39689 as your topic-ID number in the PBF-settings.
Also in the PBF-settings be sure to switch to the correct forum. This forum is not the default one.
Thanks for your reply! Exactly, that is what I have been doing, no dice. I have NordVPN and have tried it with the VPN on/off, without results… I can put up a screen shot, or the contents of the error log, but so far, looks like I will be relegated to hosting a network game :(
This is what I get when I click “View Forum”

And this is what I get when I hit “Test Post”

Bummer.
What happened after you klicked on “Report to TripleA”?
Which exact version of TripleA are you using?
@panther Using version 2.5.22294 Java Version 11.0.6
@irritatedrhino Oh sorry, when I submitted it, it shot me to Github and didn’t make much sense to me.
So please reproduce the issue and post the resulting link to Github.
I have an idea that this issue can only be resolved by using a current pre-release version of TripleA but I want to be sure.
Edit: The “Report to TripleA” button leads to
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/11466
Indeed you need to use the current pre-release version.
You can install it next to the current stable - just be sure to choose a different installation folder.
@panther ok, I will try it…
Thanks. Incidentally, if you are ever up for a game, I’m your huckleberry.
