The forum you referred me to is a 'FUDforum" installed in a sub domain of another website installation (using a different software platform of an unknown type, perhaps "front page").

It is apparent that these are primarily Members only forums, so I am reasonably certain that the forum software has been modified/set to have all public beginners posts pointed to the OP, which would appear to be a topic/msg which has been moved/split from elsewhere. It is highly likely you simply do not have permissions to access those sources even as a registered member.

So since it appears that the forum has been adapted so as not to allow links to individual posts, just to the topic until the user advances upwards. You can get around that somewhat by quoting the msg # your reply is to, and or a full quote.

The beginning forum is a portal, and beyond that you must be a member to even read most of the forums, yet as a beginner or anonymous users you can still see some but not read them.

Bottom line is that it appears the Administrators have gone to some length to provide a secure forum for its users..... Work with them!

The current administrator apparently did not start the Forum but inherited it from another so they may not even know or remember how it was modified. However they appeared to be open to ideas and questions.

The anonymous post you made at the guild was deleted after I got the link, since it was not pertinent, being just a quick way of getting the link to me. I used Firefox and IE with identical results so it is not your browser.

My message #162200 still applies to forums with more standard configurations/setups, and may work for you later after you have advanced further.

Hope that helps.
