If you encounter any problems, please let me know
Um, there appears to be a huge problem right from the get-go. It requires a Facebook login. Why is VASSAL now restricted only to FB users? How am I going to get my future VASSAL upgrades?

No, I take it all back. If you click on the link you provide above, you get asked for a FB login. If you don't use that link, but instead use the old vassalengine.org bookmark, then you get the new page no problem. Umm ...?

Oh argh. I see what happened. I pasted this announcement from the one I also put on Facebook, and Facebook helpfully munged the link. I've fixed the announcement. Try now.

I'm aware of the problem, but I don't know how to solve it permanently. Something keeps changing the SELinux context of the socket file the forum uses for communicating with the web server.

I cannot log in to Vassal forums and the request to reset password does not result in an email being sent. I cannot create a new account as it tells me that my email address already has an account.

Our outgoing mail server wasn't accepting messages sent by the forum because a necessary setting for that had been undone. Thanks for alerting me to the problem.
