Can't create first project

Hello, I am a new developer on BoardGameArena. I am trying to create a first game to go through the tutorial and can't create the project. I keep getting the same error (see message and attached screenshot). I looked for other posts with the same issue and found 2 but neither worked.

One said to use a name not in use (like Test) so I tried GomokuTutorialMaguila)
The second said to be logged into the developer 0 account (which I am)

Has anyone encountered or know what to do?
Thanks,
Mark

Error message:
Create new project GomokuTutorialMaguila (gomokututorialmaguila)

Sorry, an unexpected error has occurred...

This project already exists in the repository (reference: GS0 03/03 21:54:10)

I am not a new developer (I have already finished and published a game). And I tried to create a new project today as well - same error. Maybe the server has issues today and you just had bad luck on your first day plaxing around with BGA Studio. :lol:
Lets see, if it works again tomorrow.

I tried creating a new project and didn't see any issue.
So you, or someone else, already created a project with that name.
Go to the manage game page to see your projects if it is there, and if not, try another name to create a project.

Issue resolved. I retried the same thing today and had no issues. Not sure what the problem was but thanks for the suggestions!
