@VictoryFirst Very good. Please see https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/14440#issuecomment-4535730485 too. I think this issue urgently needs more attention, too.

In any case we need a solution that is compatible with both forums.

@VictoryFirst

Just one additional info: I am by far no expert concerning the depth of NodeBB. But I prompted Gemini about the changes from NodeBB 1.X to 3.X as well as from 3.x to 4.x and the consequences for the TripleA software and Play by Forum. I got some interesting results, that seem to indicate that especially the change from 3 to 4 has serious consequences and changes regarding the “nodebb-write-api” that seem to lead to a different approach implementing PBF in NodeBB 4. I doesn’t sound to be trivial (at least to me).

I don’t understand too much of that, so I recommend that you maybe prompt the AI of your choice with details and maybe the error message, too. The result should give you something to get deeper into it.

@VictoryFirst Let’s ping @djensen . I hope that he remembers that.

@VictoryFirst

Also FWIW this forum is on NodeBB 3.4.3, TrA-forum is on NodeBB 4.10.3.

When this forum switched from NodeBB 1.9 to 3.4.3 there were PBF incompatibilities, too.

@VictoryFirst

I wonder why you have 2.7+00000 as version?

As current 2.7-prereleases work fine here but not over there, I suppose the issue is somehow related to the NodeBB-update.

yea triplea updated nodeBB recently. I think you have to manually do it for now

The update of the forum software of https://forums.triplea-game.org/ only afffects PBF there.

15025 is the latest pre that still centers the Players turn start on their Capital. Otherwise, you need to turn tech on for it to center on releases after that.

Noticing that I am unable to open game files in many cases. What causes this? Are newer versions of TripleA able to open all game files from older versions? Or do I need to be using the same base version (e.g., 2.6x can open from any 2.6x but 2.7x cannot open 2.6x), etc.? How does it work.

Sometimes there are compatibility breaking changes when TripleA is further developped to newer versions. The last breaking change, IIRC, has been at any time during 2.6 development (unfortunately I don’t remember ecactly at which point). This is why I always recommend to finish games with the version they have been started with - and to start new games with updated versions.
A stable version of 2.6 was first withdrawn and then no longer offered. It has been outdated for a long time. Currently 2.7 is said to be ‘released as stable’ “soon”.

This is the error I am getting now… Trying to play by forum.

This error is given when the user credentials are not correct when setting up PBF. Be sure to select the correct forum to post in (default is forums.triplea-game.org). You need to set A&A .org/forums.

Locked in favour of https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/42370/

@General-Malaise Welcome to the forum. I moved your topic to the forum category that is dedicated to 1942 online.

I am sure you are aware that A&A Online is a mod of A&A 1942 Second Edition, so maybe you find something in the respective boardgame category.
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/47/axis-allies-1942-2nd-edition

However, as the rules are not 100% identical, something that works on the boardgame might not work with the software-version or vice versa.

Have fun.

@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.
