May 24, 2012 10:49:15 Hi, I have received the second email and downloaded the playtest material, but when I try to access any of the 3 playtest forums in the level above, I get a message saying "Sorry, you cannot access this forum, please go back"

Anyone have any ideas why this is the case?

Thanks

May 24, 2012 10:54:44 its doing that to me too, you have to go all the way out and then go back in

community.wizards.com/go/forum/viewcateg...

people have been pointing out in the community business forum about the next forums switching over to a new background, and basically dislodging from the other forums like they are doing for weeks. they never did anything about it, so here we are

May 24, 2012 13:50:57 This is strange.

At community.wizards.com/go/forum/viewcateg... I have access to everything.

At community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/forum/v... I have access to the News, DM, and General forums, but not the Player or Packet forums.

They seem to have the same content, though. Weird, and definitely a bug.

I've pointed the proper eyes at this thread and we hope to have the issue resolved shortly.

Thank you for your patience.

(Also, I'm going to move this thread to Community Business.)

May 24, 2012 15:02:39 It's probably still an issue with the forums having an exact mirror in a Group. So, if you get shunted into a group version of a thread you were looking at in the forums and aren't a member of the D&D Next group, it probably gives you that error. A possible workaround would be to join the group. It'll still likely shunt you from time to time but you'll have permissions to view the threads in the group so it won't stop you seeing anything. The group is open, too, so all you have to do is click 'join'.
