Well, that'll teach me to complain ... now I can't get into the forum tags. I login, I click on "Forum Tags" and up comes the message telling me I don't have access and I'll have to log in. But I AM logged in .... haaalp

Hi all,
I'm on a Mac and I've never had a problem with tags all through this period.  I have had problems returning to the unread posts after reading the first unread post, but could always get the remaining unread posts by going to either recent unread posts or all unread posts (I realize the last is not a feasible solution for newcomers to the site).  Just now the unread posts function worked for me as it always had in the past--returning and picking up the unread posts one by one until I had read them all.  I'll be interested to see if this improved performance holds.
All best,
Johnm

Unread Posts worked fine for me this morning.  Well, fine except that I only have an Unread Posts link from the Weenie Home page, not from any other page!

And I too have the problem with tags.  I can go to the tags page, but once I'm there, clicking on any tag tells me I have to log in.  But the Login Form tells me I am logged in.

Modified to add:

A bit more debugging gives the following results:  I only have the Unread Posts link from the Home page and the Tags page.  From the Tags page, clicking on any link except that to the Home page brings up a message telling me I have to log in.  Going to the Home page from the Tags page allows me to go to any other link.  All links from all other pages seem to work.  Tests run on Firefox 6.0.1.

Hi all,
Tags are unusable for me now, too.
All best,

For the TAGS problems, log out and then log back in.   We use two systems that are bridged (mambo and SMF forum) - and it means that you are logged into one system but not the other.  If you log out and log in -- you should be in both.

And when you log out and log back in -- please use the form on the left column.

Unread Posts is now working for me.

Tried that ... a couple of time as soon as the problem occurred, then I left it for a few hours and tried again. Same result -- a message saying: You are not authorized to view this resource. You need to login.

BUT... the unread posts worked!! Now if I could only get the tags back....

Just got in I'm having the same problem, was ok this morning. Each time I close the browser and reopen, the left hand column tells me I'm logged in but when I click on anything that message appears. I log out and log in again, which is fine until I close out and attempt a reopen. (using Mac 10.6.8 with Safari)

But I see what you mean.  What happens if you use the Tags menu item at the top of the forum (as opposed to the left menu)?

We're getting closer.  Please try logging out and back in and see if it is not all fixed.

Thanks.  (turns out it was a new server setting. :) )

Seems to be fine, thanks for the effort.
