Hello, Peter! I am trying to connect to the Webinar but I keep getting a Java NullPointerException traceback, with an "Event not found" message on the side. java.lang.NullPointerException at centra.cms.web.model.user.NavigationGroupIterator.initLinkConditions(NavigationGroupIterator.java:219) Maybe its because I am a little early? I kwow the right time, just thought I could hang around the virtual room to get acquainted to Centra... Please advise.
