Categories Outside The Member Rank Are Showing

Forum Help
#1

So this bug occurs when I head off to the home page of the devforum.

Its shows me categories for Regulars and higher ranks than mine even though I am not at that rank.

(No picture can be shown because it happens less often)

#3

If you go to the homepage, there should be a list of all categories. You are able to change what category you want. Also, is your birthday today?

#4

I am not leveling up? Its just a bug showing me all the categories available in the devforum.

#5

There are more things, if you see #lounge then that’s a problem, otherwise, it’s completely normal.

#7

Yes today is my birthday. When I get to the homepage, it shows me every category, but it doesn’t let me post for awhile. I just reload and shows me my ranks again.

#8

I said gives me other categories What should I rename it to then sir? :thinking:

#9

Happy birthday! If you have problems, join the DevForum communications and you could report the bugs there.

It might be a discourse issue. Post it to meta.discourse.com

What?? This is inside the devforum? I don’t know that site.

#13

Discourse is the site that the devforum is hosted on. This issue appears to be a discourse issue, not the devforum. My only suggestion is maybe to do a hard cache reset, Ctrl-Shift-R.

Categories have different kinds of permissions. You are able to read certain categories that you cannot post into. This is normal. If you can see into the #lounge category however, (and you have not confirmed that you can), then something is wrong.

@BaggyChris Please make sure you fully read topics before replying, and do not derail them to argue about petty things such as titling.

I have done that. But it still doesn’t work.

It shows me all the categories, and very rarely I can read others posts in categories, I have no permission in.

#17

Please list the categories you can read topics in that you believe you should not be able to. You are allowed to read but not post into some categories like I said. This is normal.

A screenshot may be helpful. Could you please send one, it would help clarify the issue.

#19

@FxllenCode I can try my best to get a screenshot.

If it’s only happened once it’s not an issue. If there is not a way to reproduce it, it will be very challenging to figure out.

#21

It has happened to me 10 times.

10 times over how long? 10 times in a year, month, day, etc.?
