it's been happening off and on over the past week.

I'm signed in.

I'll go to read a message and "you aren't allowed to view this forum" will pop up.

Seems completely random.

Any thoughts as to what causes it? All I do is go to the board index and start the "view new posts" search again. Just a 5-10 second blip on the horizon. I'm just finding it curious.

"Big Brother" is waaaaaatchchchchcing you....

I know that MidnightCoder is working on some forum updates. Maybe that has something to do with it. Hopefully that explains the "The form you submitted is invalid." error I get occasionally when I post something.

Is this still happening, ladysown?

It's certainly not normal. Please let me know which forums are affected, and if you can reach them by going to the index and clicking them normally. I'll try to sort it out.

hasn't happened for about a week/week and a half.

Good to know. I'll consider the matter closed unless someone updates this thread.

Sorry for the slow response. PM me in future if you think I haven't seen a thread.

LOL!
