New Forum Open

We will be moving the forums to a new server and new forum software on Tuesday, March 19, 2024.

There is not a way to move the current forum posts, so we will lock posting new topics that morning US time. All new topics will need to be made on the new forum after that time. We will permit replies to existing topics for the remainder of the week, after which all posting will be blocked for all users.

You can begin using the new forums now at the temporary address of https://forums-new.openvpn.net. You will need to register a new account.

Eventually the https://forums.openvpn.net address will point to the new site. We will retain a read-only version of the forum after it has closed foro the foreseeable future.

I'm experiencing the same error and wonder when OpenVPN will acknowledge the issue with their new forum site?

Posting Issues
How do I create a new topic or post a reply?
To post a new topic in a forum, click "New Topic". To post a reply to a topic, click "Post Reply". You may need to register before you can post a message. A list of your permissions in each forum is available at the bottom of the forum and topic screens. Example: You can post new topics, You can post attachments, etc.

I've searched for "New Topic" everywhere. This above does not say where "New Topic" is to "click". Please advise

Hello, sorry to interrupt this discussion, but I cannot open a topic, there is no button for that :(
Even I cannot write to an admin, forbidden for me :(

New Topic button nowhere on this page:

viewforum.php?f=33&sid=4be73cf8ed4353f19ce5256ac8a40cf1

Is that the old forum? No new posts allowed on the old forum?
