JOSM fails to load because message of the day can't be loaded - again

[anonymous]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. click the JOSM icon on the windows desktop
2. this will load the karakun java module, which in turn loads JOSM
3. a message appears that the mmessage of the day can't be loaded - that's not a reason to stop loading the rest

What is the expected result?

expect that JOSM will load and function, even if the message of the day can't be loaded

What happens instead?

JOSM just sits on screen

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

not aware how to add the screenshot: please provide instructions where to drag-n-drop

Sorry, but I simply don't understand your problem. Your screenshot shows a properly started JOSM. Your description "JOSM fails to load because message of the day can't be loaded" is thus simply wrong. JOSM did load properly, only missing the message of the day.

So explain what's wrong in your opinion? What explicitly are you missing?
