    Permission to access forum rules

    To the administrators. I have tried unsuccessfully 5 times to access the Forum Rules page. I keep getting a message, that I do not have permission. Can someone explain why?

    Nice one!

    Fotis1991, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

    Re: Permission to access forum rules

    This has not been done on purpose. Its a setting changed at the backend. If you want a copy of the forum rules (since i can access them), i will post it in the water cooler in the meantime.

    Re: Permission to access forum rules

    I'm glad that has been fixed, as I often refer new posters to read the Rules if they've got a poor title, or posted a question in someone else's thread etc.

    However, having just re-read the blue section at the bottom (new levels), I'm wondering when these will be applied to those posters (VFCs mainly) who meet the criteria for Forum Experts (after all the controversy about Forum Gurus) ??

    Also, why isn't this thread in the Water Cooler or Suggestions for Improvement ??

    Re: Permission to access forum rules

    Thanks Pete. I didnt realise and have moved it now.

    The changes will happen shortly. The tech team is changing the algorithm slightly to take note of these changes.

    The algorithm is regarding the level changes, Andy,not the rules.

    I don't think so.. but to be honest in no way i don't want to be in her position.

    She is a manager here. So for any problem she ask the famous "Tech Team". And all of us know what this mean..

    So if she don't answer to us then we say:" No one is interest about our questions"

    If she answer, she have to give us the answer of the "Tech Team" And everybody knows which is it!

    "We'll fix it shortly...."!

    Have nice holidays Pete!
