I had a gmail email and it did not work. I created a free proton.me email account and it worked just fine on triplea. Just like flyingbadger stated, gmail and other email accounts do not seem to work at all for triplea. thankyou flying badger and others for helping me get this problem resolved. I am very bad at internet/computer stuff

@plasmaboy OK, so you decided for Play by Forum. What I see now is that you have correctly set up the game to post in your old thread
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/33146/plasmaboy-vs-aldoraine-bm3/45
It posted completely as you can see when scrolling the turn post window down.So you did the entire turn and posted it completely to that old game thread.
Now again - where is the thread of your current game? Whom are you addressing? Who is going to download your savegame that you have posted? Whose turn is it next - who continues the game?
Or, as you now said …
@plasmaboy said in how do i get a saved game to attach for pbem?:
I got the game from my saved game file on/in triple a. open it picked play email/forum game
… don’t you actually have a thread for your new game? In that case go to the Play Boardgames category and create a new topic. You will get your new topic ID then. Add that new ID to the PBF-settings. Do your turn and post to that new topic. You just need to point your co-players to that new topic, then.

well i went to the board game section and created a new topic. added that to my forums id thread . opened save games and was able to launch the game. Success, sort of except that it is now showing as his russian turn, so i think after we play again if i save it during the Japanese turn i should be able to use the Forums to move forward with our game . thank you for your help. So now any time I want to play in forums i need to start a new topic correct?

@plasmaboy Sounds good. Usually, when playing against different opponents, you would definitely create a new game thread for every game. When playing consecutive games against the same opponent, sometimes players agree to use the same game thread.
Creating a new thread for every game is surely the “cleanest” solution.Now enjoy gaming :slightly_smiling_face:
