I don't know if this is a forum-wide problem, or if it is just me, but when I try to look at previous posts by a user (identified by clicking on the user name in the left-hand column) I get the following message:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/search.php on this server."

I never had this occur in the past and I have often searched for and found previous posts by a user. What's up?

I just tried it and it works. Maybe it was a temporary bug. If you still have trouble something must have changed on your computer. Might try deleting cookies.

Thanks for trying, arh. It is still the same after deleting the cookies for the forum. I can't search for previous posts in Firefox and Chrome on my computer and also on my iPad. I am able to search the forum by using the Search This Forum box as usual, but the search for posts by clicking on the username in the left column always results in the error message, although I can view the public profile of the user.

Hopefully a moderator can help you out.

I've been getting the exact same message for well over a month when I try to access my prior posts under the "statistics" tab of my profile:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/search.php on this server.

It happened to me before and I logged out and then back in and it fixed it.

Also clear cookies and tmp files always make a better day

Unfortunately, signing out and then back in again, clearing the cache and deleting cookies did not solve the problem. I previously had sent a personal message to a Moderator, who said he couldn't resolve the issue and that would send it to the Administrator, but I never heard back. :crying:

What version of windows and what browser do you use?

 

[pjsmithres]

WIN 7 used to have a compatibility mode that another forum used to make a similar problem work with IE 10.0
There are display modes? Linear and hybrid? in the banner.
I don't have the problem so can't really find a help.

Also I have had zero help from the moderators. Maybe an admin might catch this and give some help. I'd also repeat the request a couple of times.

I use Windows 7 and the problem is present in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. It is also present on my iPad running iOS 10.2.1 with Safari as the browser. Also, in the past I had no problem at all searching for past posts by members by clicking on the username in the left-hand column of the forum page.. This is new in the past month or so, with no changes in software or equipment at my end. It's really no big deal, but it is irritating.

Always check the Site Issue Forum to report on problems you encounter or else to find resolutions for known issues. There are two threads already on this issue, which is a system wide glitch. Makes my job a pain in the butt trying to eliminate spammers and whatnot. Anyway, for future reference, here's a link to the Site Issue Forum:

My general forum search works. I am referring to clicking on a poster's username in the left-most column of the forum page and then choosing "Find more posts by....". Does that work for you?
