Play By Forum doesn't work

[VictoryFirst]

When trying to open a Play By forum game, I am not able to load the game. I get this error:

It happens when trying to load an existing PBF save file or starting a new PBF game. This did not happen yesterday.

When I try to open the save file in Local or Play By Email, it loads just fine. Just not with PBF.

Is this a TripleA error or does it have to do with the A&A forum?

@VictoryFirst I can reproduce the issue with current and legacy versions of TripleA.
So I am quite sure that it is related to recent changes to the website/forum.

Let us ping @djensen for further insights.

@VictoryFirst I’m having this same problem. Can’t post my last turn to forum.

[djensen]

“Under Attack Mode” for the bot filtering also causes problems with TripleA.

However, I just created a new rule that will allow TripleA versions 2.6 and later to work properly on the site. I did a smoke test and I think it should work. Please try it.

@msoot @VictoryFirst is it working again?

[Panther]

@djensen Unfortunately still:

[djensen]

@Panther What version of TripleA? Probably 2.6++ right?

[Panther]

@djensen No, it was 2.7.current pre-release. I would not pay too much attention to 2.6, as 2.6 had been discarded by the developers.

We are back in business.

Temporarily turning it off for 5 minutes to test a TripleA build.

Update: test completed and passed.

@LaFayette I opened a PR to add the Triplea-Version header to requests to this site.

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/14308

I prefer these headers over what I’m currently doing, which the bots might figure out eventually.

@djensen I just test posted. Seems ok. Thank you.
