How to post in Triple A forum

[barnee]

@Panther just to clarify his issue. He joined the triplea site 29 days ago. Same name as here but he can’t create any topics or reply to any. Says no priviledges.

I didn’t see anything in settings to turn on.

@Board-3659 this is your first time making an account at triplea ?

[Board 3659]

@barnee yeah

[Board 3659]

@barnee This happens

[barnee]

@board-3659 so you didn’t get a chat at the triplea site from me ? If so something must’ve got jacked when you signed up. Panther is active on both sites and is quite knowledgeable about this stuff, so you’ll have to wait for him to respond.

He’s in Germany, so you probably won’t hear anything tonight, assuming you’re in the US. He’ll get ya dialed in : )

@barnee I see the message but I can’t be in the chat IDK why. Have you meet this error

[barnee]

@board-3659 hmm…no i haven’t. Something else you could try is going to github and posting there, since you can’t even post your problem. Yea you gotta sign up, but if you’re making a map you’ll have to anyway.

then make an issue here

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues

but I’m sure Panther will get it fixed

[Board 3659]

I already have a github

[barnee]

@board-3659 make an issue and post there too. the more people that see it the sooner it’ll get fixed.

I’d suggest something like “New Triplea Account Unable to Create Topics or Post” for the title

[Board 3659]

@barnee Ok thanks

[Panther]

@barnee Thank you for further investigating.

@Board-3659 I have moved the topic to the TripleA-support category as this is of course totally urelated to this A&A. org forum.

Are you using different browsers and different devices to log in on both forums?

The “Login Sessions” information - bound to your account - here is different from the one on triplea-game. org. Interestingly you currently don’t have a valid session over there. Also a very different IP-address.

So you might use a different device to log in and/or maybe a different browser. Also maybe a different internet connection.

Usually - if the forum doesn’t show as expected - this is caused by the browser not having loaded the latest needed information.

So this is what you should try:

• When logged in into the forum, perform a browser refresh - does that help?

If not:

• Log out of the forum.
• Close your browser.
• Reopen you browser.
• Clear your browser cache.
• Login in to the forum again.
• if the buttons still don’t show do another refresh/reload.

Better now? Please report back.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

@board-3659 said in How to post in Triple A forum:

IDK if it was because I mess up the email verification

Ah, I just noticed that.
Indeed, most likely you are an “unverified user” - and this is the reason why you can’t do all of this.

How did you “mess up the email verification”? What does the confirmation email say? Can you retry?

Let me know please.

[Board 3659]

@panther I think it expired on me and I didn’t realize IDK. Also clearing cache on browser didn’t help

[Board 3659]

@panther It didn’t work. I think I didn’t verify my email and I let it expire by accident

[Panther]

@board-3659

OK then, you should now be able to create (register) your account anew. Please be sure to finish the verification process correctly.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

[Board 3659]

@panther Works now, Thanks :)

@board-3659

That’s cool. Have fun :slightly_smiling_face:
