Coronvirus forum - posting privileges changed

[EmmDee]

Hi

When I go into the Coronvirus forum the following message is at the bottom of the page - "You have insufficient privileges to post threads here."

The same is true within a thread - insufficient privileges to reply

Anybody else having the same message?

No, not getting any message. I presume you have a PhD in infectious diseases like the rest of us??

Hi EmmDee

Thanks for pointing this out.

Can you check if it's working now.

The CV forum has been inundated with spam so we made some changes to the permissions, but they seem to have had side effects.

I'm getting the insufficient privileges thing now on the Coronavirus forum. All's well on other forums.

Hi Baby boomer is it working now?

The permissions on Xenforo seem very clever, but they are too easy to mess up.

Yes indeed! Whatever you did, worked.

Much appreciated, ta!

Hi Baby

I prevented new users from posting in the Coronavirus forum as it was being bombarded with spam.

But for some reason, the system classifies a lot of users as new users, even though they are not.

I have changed it to allow new users to post in that forum, so now it will probably get a lot of spam.
