Regional forum access is broken (was Lost posts and can't access some forums)

muffler

In the last 10 minutes I seem to have lost a lot of posts and can't access the regional forums. Anyone got any idea of what's going on?

xxyyzz

I'm having the same issue. If I try to access the Tralee thread I get a permissions error.

Boards.ie: Mike

Hey there Muffler!

Could you please try to access those forums for me now as a test?

xxyyzz

This is what I see if I try to access the Tralee thread

Hi there,

Could you please try to access again as a test for me?

The permissions are screwed up. You can access the Cork City category (for example) if you're logged out, but not if you're logged in. Appears to have only affected the Regional categories

Nothing happening Mike. I'm still getting the "you don't have permission" message and when I click on a link in an email notification it says page not found.

I have adjusted the permissions for "registered user" on the regional forums now! Should be back to normal.

Nope, still no access

Boards.ie: Mike

I had just turned on and saved the permissions, most of the regional forums still do not allow permissions. Back to Vanilla I'm afraid. Bear with me!

Also it looks like my posts in those regional forums are gone.

Boards.ie: Mike

You probably cannot even view your posts in that forum due to the permissions error. I had this issue for my "role" last week. I have called up a linked ticket request for this issue with Vanilla now.

I can still see your posts in there :)

I'm having the exact same issue as xxyyzz for the Tralee and Kerry/Cork threads only. All other threads are accessible.

Thanks

Cheers. All my typing has not been wasted!

I've been getting the same problem all day, and can only see the South/Kerry forums content when I log out.

GavPJ

Having the same trouble :-(

OscarMIlde

Mrs O Bumble complained of the same thing this morning. Kildare forum opening for me on Chrome mobile.

We are up and running again. Cheers Mike.

I still can't access the Cork and Kerry forums. I tried logging out and in again but no joy!

Apogee

Same issue here

Polar101

This feels like lockdown again, I can visit my local county, but Meath is Restricted Content. 😄

East, Midlands and Midwest are accessible, but everything else says "Permission problem: You don't have permission to do that."

Same on desktop and Android if that makes a difference.

It's not fixed yet. Some people have been guinea pigs for test purposes, hence the Registered Users 2 group some now show.

sok2005

Just jumping in here to say I have the same issue. Looking for a fix also.

azimuth17

I cant access the regional forum at all. Permission access denied showing up.

Doomofman

Still the same issue here currently

Straight Talker

I also can't access the Cork City or Galway forums. Some of the regional forms do seem to be working. I can access the Limerick forum with no issues.

Dan Steely

What's the criteria to be added to Registered Users 2?

Ciarrai76

I've had another message to say it's not working yet. Told them topost here but just to make you aware issue is still happening.

Still unable to access most Regional forums.

Thanks,

You're in registered users 2 though.

Straight Talker

I'm still locked out of the Cork city forum!

Wompa1

Same for me on Galway City and County

azimuth17

Still can't access the Waterford pages.

Hotblack Desiato

Fine now for me but I'm in Registered Users 2.

Pirates Ale

Same here

Straight Talker

The problem still hasn't been resolved. I'm still unable to access the Cork city forum.

sok2005

Wouldn’t mind an update

Cork city forum is fine for me now. Last I checked was about 11am and it was ok.

klr87

Same problem for me for the past couple of days.

I just logged out and in again, no change: Most of the regional forums are still marked as "Restricted Content".

That's the problem it's working for some people and not for others. I still can't get in unfortunately!

azimuth17

Is there an update anywhere on this situation please? I still can't access the Waterford pages.

Ciarrai76

Can we get an update on this? Mods can access, but we are being asked why others can't and have no answers??

Not speaking for Boards, but the answer is fairly straighforward: underlying issue (permissions-related) hasn't been fixed, it's with Vanilla. A temporary role ("Registered Users 2") has been created, which appears to be working, but has only been applied to a limited group of users. I imagine it will be Monday evening at the earliest before a proper fix is in

Straight Talker

I'm back in the Cork city forum now.

Curiously, my access is unaffected on another PC that I have been logged in on for some days <SHRUGS>
