I tried to view the thread "Article: Buy direct from Nikon? New site alert!" and get a vBulletin Message: "Sorry, you do not have permission to access this page."

What's that about?

It's a dupe thread with no views. Is this message the equivalent of a locked thread?

It is strange. In fact, now I can't find that exact thread! The one I do see is missing "Article: " at the beginning of the thread title - and I can get in to that one.

Muy bizzar-o...

It happened again. This time, the thread was, "Two new DSLR's rumored for this summer" and I got the same permission/access page.

And it gets better...

I'm using "New Posts" <http://nikonites.com/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post> as a bookmark. On that page, for the thread above that I couldn't access, I clicked on "Comments" which is the forum where the thread is located. That link is out to the right here:

Here's what I got:

OBTW, on the Forums page, I don't even see a "Comments" forum???

Where's a geek when you need one?

I'm pretty geeky, but I can't figure this one out - There's either a bug or something I'm not seeing in the permissions settings in the software. In the case of the above article, there is a thread and a article page. They are treated as separate entities with their own set of permissions. Can you see other articles like this one? http://nikonites.com/content/118-welcome-nikonites.html

You shouldn't see the comments forum on the main page because the context is directly related to the articles on the main page.

Yes, that link

Welcome to Nikonites!"

works for me.

I was able to get into the non-article version of the thread mentioned above, but not the article version.

Curious that "Comments" is a hyperlink as shown in the screen shot above, but it's not supposed to be "clickable"?

I am on several other vBulletin forums and viewing "New Posts" does not give me these problems. Also, the only thing I see there on "New Posts" is new posts in the forums - no articles or comments, whatever those are.

It's doing it again. This time for the thread, "Nikonites first Photo Contest - Hot".

This is from "New Posts" and the Forum is "Comments".

Very irritating...

I recently updated the forum software to the latest version to iron out some bugs. Is this still happening?

I have just joined and cannot upload any images can someone help me please

Hi Bridget - this is because you only have one post in the forum (this one). 5 are required to upload to the gallery. This was put in place to promote activity in the forum. :)

I dont know either. I have 9 posts now this will make 10. I have uploaded one picture and now everytime I try to upload another one. That same stupid box pops up saying I do not have permission to up upload pictures or access this page. I'm very frustrated!!!

I'm sorry the system is giving you a hard time. Try hitting f5 on the upload page. I also manually changed something on your account. Hopefully one of those will fix the problem.

Go to site news forum, the third sticky from the top is new user permission and it will tell you that you have to have at least 5 posts in the forum before you can upload any photo. That is what i have done just now and keeping my fingers crossed

Just thought you might like to know, I do not have permission to access the products page.
I don't blame anyone, I wouldn't let me access products either!

Y'all have a nice day.

You should be able to see the section although it is not yet complete. Products will be added within the next week.
