Hi guys
we are doing a final recruitment drive for testers for multiplayer World in Flames. We are using the new automated beta system so its a painless process!
Just sign up here:

We only have a few weeks left so the more the merrier!
We'll be adding the first batch before the end of the week!

Turned up fine for me.
Now the question... do I sign up as a beta tester (after all this time)...?

It worked correctly for me (although I didn't sign up as a beta tester[:D]).

Ditto for me :tried many times to submit the form but each time I got an error : "error checking your login credentials"
However, my login is still valid as evidenced by this post [X(]

I've asked Iain to look into this.

Well that's good news.
If anyone has trouble with accessing the posted site, please add a post to this thread to that effect. We'll see what we can do about fixing the problem.

Still unlucky today...
Would it be possible to apply through another channel (pm, email...) ?

Hmmmm - this is working fine for me guys. Can you take a screenshot and post it so I can see the error and let me know exactly which page you're having the problem on.
If you had problems can you retry and let me know.

Not sure about the method to embed an image, so here is the description of the problem: I get the error message "Error checking forum login credentials." after I submit the form with the apply button even though my login is ok.
In the form, my login is then set to "Le Grand Condé" and the password is blanked.
Maybe the root cause of my problem is the é special caracter, depending on how caracter coding is set at the form level? (I had been told many times at school I should only use the ASCII set of caracters [:-]. I guess that was the reason why)

Yes, that is why I did not write Mònica when I made my inscription at this forum. Just in case the "ò" would appear as a bizarre character on the other people's screens...
PS: your é looks nice on my screen...are you French? Grand-grand-grand-grand son of the victor at Rocroi?

preparing to head out to a job site for a couple weeks where I will feel fortunate if my phone can pull up the weather forecast every day, or I would have done this long ago.

Can the beta testers post After Action Reports?
Can we the people encourage them to do so?

Yes I am French but I am less certain about my filiation with the victor of Rocroi [;)].
I was born in Chantilly (home of the Condé family) and I even lived in an appartment building named after "Le Grand Condé" hence the login.
It looks like the forum works well with "é", "è" or "ç". The problem might be with the beta tester subscription form which does not seem to accept such characters [&:]

Yes. We can post such reports and encouragement might motivate someone to make a report.

Having the opportunity to do up an AAR is about the only reason I'd consider applying to be a beta tester, rather than waiting for release.
(If nothing else, it would show that my actual play could do with some significant improvement, even if I look good theorycrafting (if I say so myself).)

Hi Le Grand Condé, sorry for the problem with beta login. Please try again, it should work now with "é", "è" or "ç" characters as well.
