Title: Far too many things unavailable to me, dudes
Post by: ValDuderino on May 31, 2014, 05:33:34 AM
I've noticed that the WHOLE General Discussion and Dudeist Religion boards, among numerous others (just can't remember all of the names) are unavailable to me; whole categories are missing, can't even see them in the Home section. There are hardly any boards available to me at all, actually, only about 6 or so (this one among them, obviously). Also, I'm pretty sure there was a Profile button among the Home, Help, Search & so on buttons in the upper left corner, but there isn't one now, so I can't even edit my profile. When I log out, though, I can see all the boards & stuff. Does anyone, perchance, know what the problem could be?

Well dude, we just don't know. Send a PM to Forumdude and let him know. And ValDuderino, welcome to our beach community. Grab a lane and roll, dude. Bars' over there, mang,

Thankee, dude. Much obliged. One small problem, though - Messaging is one of the features that's disappeared (for me).

try posting a few more times dudes.....dude's been saying things start opening up the more they post.
I do not think the forum is set like that.....except for the 10 post before you become "dude" and can post a link.....that's set to keep out the spammers.....but others have said thing in their profile and such begin to open. 8)

That's what I thought, but the thing is - all of the things that are now hidden from me I could see before! I'm still an 'Amateur' and not a 'Dude' (as far as the forum goes), but I used to be able to see everything. And I dunno much about the forum, I ain't never seen the queen in her damned undies, but I'm pretty sure the 'General Discussion' board (at least) is supposed to be open to everyone, including 'Amateurs'.

You have to reach 10 posts to achieve Dude status and unlock full forum functionality, that was my experience.
But that's just, like, you know, my opinion, man.

Btw, just noticed that in my posts, there's both 'Dude' and 'Amateurs' written under my name. Can you guys see it, too? Is this normal? I'm guessing it isn't.

Nope it's not normal! Not normal at all! Have you tried clearing your cookies and then maybe logging in with a different name. You know start the whole dared comedy again?

Sorry I'm not much help but you're the only dude to ever have had this problem. Sometimes it's not all the others it is actually you! ;)

Peace mate...hope you get it sorted.

I think that's because someone has "artificially" promoted you to the "Dude" category instead of leaving it for the forum rules to deal with. Once you have ten posts that will probably sort itself out.

Thanks! You were right! AND all the boards are available to me now! Thanks again, everyone!

I'm not allowed to see users' profile infos, though. Should it be like that?
