Odd topics in RP section

[stitch626]

So theres an unread post in the Active RP section (as in, red circle). But when I go into it, I don't see anything unread. So I go tot he main board, and click the square for see latest post.
It says, you do not have permissions to see this topic.
The post was by Mikey.

Why can I see that a post was made that I can't look at?

[Reliant121]

I had the same with the post before it from Deepcrush, and its remained from Mikey as well.

[Nickswitz]

Yeah, same problem with me...

[Mikey]

I just moved the Zombie RP thread from FC to Active RP's, and added a couple of threads for the upcoming game. I don't know why it won't let you view it, though. I'll take a look.

[Mikey]

OK, I looked. I couldn't find any info, though. They're not locked, modified, or anything else except moved. Perhaps Ian could shed some light on the matter?

[Reliant121]

Perhaps. I just had a check and then zombie thread doesn't seem to be in there for the peasants of DITL at least.

[Lighthawk]

Same problems for me, red dot on the main page, nothing inside, and the zombie stuff isn't visible for me.


Nice job breaking it.

We have, IIRC, had this problem before. The default setting for new fora is mods and admins only. No idea why it would be kicking in on simple thread moves though.

[Mikey]

Indeed, I didn't create a new forum or subforum. Any ideas, oh captain, on how we go about changing the required permissions?

[Mikey]

OK, someone wanna give it a try now?

Ask Ian - he's been the one to fix the mess in previous cases. Beyond that, there's no point in me checking, given that I'd have access anyway.

[Mikey]

In the mod control panel in the forum, checking the topics in question allowed an "unlock topics" option from the mod menu, so I gave that a try.

[IanKennedy]

Ah, we've been here before. If you put topics directly in the 'Active Roleplays' area then it will not be available to ordinary users. They can only see into the sub-topics that are there. Anyway I've made a Zombie Roleplay sub forum and moved the topics into that. Let me know if it's working now.

[Captain Seafort]

Is it possible to make "Active Roleplays" itself a general access area?

[IanKennedy]

I'm not overly keen to make an area that will contain both topics and sub forums for these RPs. I'd rather just make a new sub-forum when you need them.
