my users are getting the error:
"The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."
my site is www.txsports.org
when i make a hyperlink on an article such as "click HERE" where HERE is the link leading to the forum thread, it give that error.
i can get to the links just fine but none of my users are able to.
i looked to find a permission but i didnt find one.
has this happened to anyone else or is this a known issue?
thank you for your help!
EDIT: I also wanted to add, on the link url, i AM using the http protocol and the target can be either _self, _blank or popupwindow and it acts the same way.
Could we get a link to an article or at least an example of the link you're having trouble with?
Hi JPdeni,
thanks for replying.
Its every article and any link I post, not just a particular one.
my site is www.txsports.org
or..an article is
http://www.txsports.org/index.php?page=HOUSTON%20ROCKETS%20FORUM%20-%20TRACY%20MCGRADY%20TRADE
you'll see that link I posted on the article is even laid out with the entire url displayed but that doesnt make a difference. whether I said "click HERE" or "click http://www.txsports.org/index.php?page=HOUSTON%20ROCKETS%20FORUM%20-%20TRACY%20MCGRADY%20TRADE" it acts the same way.
there's another article below it that acts the same way...
thanks for your help with this!
Do you have SEO mod or one of the other URL changing mods installed to your site ?

the only thing that would remotely come close to being a URL changing mod is the SPAM ME NOT mod...and even thats not even close. I just checked my mod list and I do not have any url changing mods.
When I went to your site, I tried a link to a topic like...
http://www.txsports.org/index.php?topic=61.0
That worked fine. Then I tried one on your article
http://www.txsports.org/index.php?topic=69.0
That one said it was off limits. (I was browsing as a guest.)
Are you sure that the boards you're referring to have the correct permissions for people to see?

Let me double check. I will edit this post once I verify the permissions but I dont see how it could be that...They post in those boards all the time. Like I said, I'll double check.
EDIT: well JPDeni...you were correct.
the permissions werent set correctly. now they are...
I forgot I changed them a while back. I hate when that happens.
I apologize for wasting your time with this simple issue.
thanks guys for your help!
and now,
We all been there, that we can promisse you :D
If you dont ask, you will not get an answer, even if it is a simple one, it's not allways easy to catch :)
I mark this one to solved.
