Alyksandrei -> Access Denied: Can't read some threads (5/4/2012 23:40:59)

On some forums/posts, there are links to things like guides and encyclopedia entries. On some of these, I get this error:

quote:

Access is Denied.

You either don't have the right to access or have attempted to access private area.

Please login with sufficient credential or click here to go back to forum's home page.


One in particular is the DF experience-farming guide ( Experience Farming - How To Do It and Where To Go V3 ); there are others (some in the Pedia, which is annoying), but I can't remember all of them. If I remember to, I'll try to post more links to these oddly restricted threads as I come across them.

This occurs when I try to view the post/thread (when I click on the link). I understand that some forums are restricted (at least for posting), but these seem like they're 'general information' types of threads and should be accessible to all logged-in users (which I am when I get this error - I made sure of that). Why am I getting this error, and what can I do to fix it?

Edit:
More restricted links:
The Elemental DF Guide, from the A-Z Monsters by Weaknesses/Strengths thread

Another Edit:
Maybe I'm answering my own question, but I'd like confirmation: a search of 'all forums', 'all posts', 'all words' of both the farming guide and the elemental guide turn up nothing (or just posts that have references to them). This is an indication that these posts no longer exist. If that is the case, I guess I'll need to notify the owner(s) of the referencing guides about broken links. So . . . Am I correct in my conclusion that these posts I've mentioned have been deleted?




Cataclysm -> RE: Access Denied: Can't read some threads (5/4/2012 23:51:17)

Are you viewing these via a link from another thread? Or are you trying to view these via the section they are located in the forums (i.e. DF Encyclopedia vs "Helpful Guides" thread). Because I can view the A-Z monsters link fine, not the EXP guide, or the elemetal guide, but I'm going to go check things out about these myself.




Z -> RE: Access Denied: Can't read some threads (5/4/2012 23:51:16)

You get the Access is Denied message when the thread you are trying to access has been moved to another forum which you don't have access to -- it's not the thread itself that is restricted, but the forum. When you come across such links, it would be a good idea to notify an AK or moderator of the relevant forum so the link could be updated, e.g. for the experience farming guide, a new version of it is being updated/remade in the Pending Guides section.




Alyksandrei -> RE: Access Denied: Can't read some threads (5/4/2012 23:55:06)

Ok, thanks. I'll just see about notifying the right people.
