A Forum Oddity

Post by Enough »

I am getting a message I lack the permission to view "The Other Stuff" but am able to browse RP, EBG, etc fine. Not sure if this points to a real issue or just my lack of access to the secret cool kids OO forum, but here you go: :ninja:

Edit: it looks like I get the same permissions message on each major forum group (Gaming, Community and The Other Stuff)

That is rather strange.

Hopefully we won't have to nuke you from orbit.

Huh. I get that too if I click on the main header for the section.

I use prosilver, and when I click on the section heading, it actually gives me all the subforums - and then underneath it gives me the "you don't have permission" message. I just tried it in Black Pearl, and I'm getting the same view as Enough.

I'm guessing (don't really remember) that the mods forum is in the 'Other Stuff' section, and clicking on it directly tries to show it to you.

It is that way for all the forum "groups" because you can't post in them only the forums they contain.

I see the same thing and I can see all the cool kid forums.

The super secret forum is in the Community section, BTW. Or so I have heard.

I'm left believing this is WAD.

I see now. "The Other Stuff" is a forum itself, which contains the various subforums nested within it, but has posting turned off. When you click "The Other Stuff" you are attempting to go into that forum directly.

I always thought that those (The Other Stuff, Gaming) were just headings/titles.
