thanks for the quick reply.
Tried to post, still the same result: 'You cannot post links (...)', while my post does not contain links.

For the info to be complete: I try to post a question in the 'tech support' section of World in Flames.

First, you have to have 5 to 10 posts before you can attach files and I would assume links. Anti spam box measure on the site.

Second, make sure to use the "Post Reply" button and not the "Fast Reply" button. Fast does not have the ability to attach.

See if that helps.

Status: offline 		Sorry you are having problems. You cant post links because of the amount of spam we were getting. We now prevent new users posting links so can you copy and paste the content you are trying to paste in to a mail to support and they can investigate. Or post here a screenshot of the text you are trying to post so we can try and work it out.

Status: offline 		Attached a screenshot of what I'm trying to type.

I'm not sure what it means yet, but I have noticed that for me,
almost all the WIF forums have a grey 'tickbox' symbol next to the left of them. Including the one I'm trying to post in.

Maybe this is cosmetical or maybe it means those forums are closed/unavailable to me?

EDIT: just tried to post in 'WiF School' (orange tickbox symbol) and still the same message about not being allowed to post links.

Status: offline 		Oki doki, I'll post the Original post below:


NovDec 1940 France has promised the CW 6 BP, which has set up 6 convoys in the Bay of Biscay.
The BP are not being sent. Production planning shows France keeps the 6 BP for itself. No sign of any trade there.

Latest version is played, hotseat.
Paris just fell but AFAIK, this should not be ending the agreement (?).
SepOct this agreement was fulfilled just fine. I am sure I did not acciddentally tick the one time only box when making the agreement.

EZOCS are not a problem for at least 5 of the 6 BP France is still making (should be transported without a problem from factory to Brest and Bordeaux).
Am I missing a rule or is this a bug?

Maybe part of the problem: the game assigns 'save-locations' (in my game, other than Brest/Bordeaux) for the 'to be generated BP's for trade'.
AFAIK the player cannot specify where the temporary storage location should be for such BP's,
so perhaps this goes wrong if the game 'stores' them at a location that becomes cut off (or even taken) later (Paris/Rouen for example)?

I can ofc attach a savefile if needed.


I could just post ten posts and then wait 7 days. At this rate I'll have 10 posts in no time ;-)

Edit: Apparently no problem to post in this forum, looks like something in the WiF fora.

I am running into a similar problem. I can post here but I am not able to post in another thread under mods/scenarios section of CMANO. Not sure why as I haven't even made 10 posts yet.

Hello Warrior,

Are you trying to post links or images? If so, then you need to have 10 posts to do this. You are just two away, so if you can post two more messages then please try posting to the CMANO forum again and see if it will allow you to post.

Status: offline 		Can you post the url of the thread that is causing problems and exactly what it is you are trying to post - i.e. are you trying to attach something as this wont work till you have 10 posts.

Thats overkill. Spambots are so easy to recognize & easy squelch. Id like to request a setting change from 7 days per 10 to 1 day only!

I wouldn't want that. Because the manpower is not available to watch these boards for abusers. Much better to filter out spam bots with the present process. It seems to be working well. I don't want to experience the days when you had 10 pages of spam on a Monday after a weekend attack.
