Just for giggles I tried the same thing and got the same message ......

If someone has access to the owner/mods, maybe bring it to their attention.

They're already here - Don's (dpep) a mod.

When I used VBulletin (I think that' what this forum is based on), I always had errors like this. When I got a DNC attack, I switched to Xenforo, and that took care of that. The next DNS attack messed up part of the forum, like my front page, but did not affect the rest.

I have received that response too, but it only happens from the "Notifications" page. I can navigate and post in the thread if I find it through the search functions, or look it up under ."Recent Posts" drop down.

I don't know if that info helps, though I'd throw it in. I have never received that notification from any other part of the forum.

Since my OP, there has not been a single test post to that thread.

good point !
Several people mention not seeing the error, but they have not posted ... nobody able to do so ?
Then it might not be user (profile) related.

As an admin, I'm surprised they wouldn't have tried first to post to the thread.

Whatever is causing it it's not always there. I have just accessed the end of ICE bikes thread from notifications. On Thursday I was getting the not authorised message but only for that thread.

Maybe when threads go way off topic, and start heating up, the forum has become semi-sentient and is steering you away from it.

I have brought it up with Frank and he is looking into it. I have not been able to replicate so we are still looking for a pattern. Continue to report any observations you think might be helpful.

Can you post on the thread ? I can open it but cannot post on it ......

I did and there was no problem. But since moderators have a different set of privileges than other members It really didn't help in the diagnosis and I deleted it. I have a separate plain member sign-in that I use for testing but it seems to have lost some function since I last used it many months ago. I will take everyone's word for it that NO one can enter a post to that thread. Correct?

I just made another post and left it up. Someone maybe check to see it if anything is changed.

Just tried. Got the same error I reported above.

Well. It looks like I cannot only view the thread but respond as well. Good luck on solving this issue. Needle in a haystack kind of thing.

Ok. I found an old thread of mine there. When trying to quote myself I first got an "please enter a valid url" error then tried again I got the "not authorized" error. I was however successful at making an edit and saving it.
