@SimpleSimon,
First of all, welcome aboard!
About your error report, thank you very much, we appreciate it!
Members and non-members have basically the same access. Non-members can fully use our forums to post and even upload files because we hate to have "dead forum accounts" in here. You don't need to create an account to post something or read or download files. Your account will be deleted if not used in roughly 120 days. You can read more about our
rules here ยปIt is a strange bug in phpBB which makes that specific forum lose permissions, randomly and sometimes only. The permissions should now work correctly. Hopefully, the random bug won't be seen again in a while.
This random bug is because we use the same database for two different domains: foolsdesign.org and
http://www.techtalk.cc. Feel free to check out
http://www.TechTalk.cc as well. It is purely aimed at technology talk and nothing else. Both domains share "The lounge", however.
(Your account works in both domains)By the way, I moved your post to our
help and support thread.
Ps. Don't forget to reply to the activation email which you have received by email. Failing to reply will result in deletion of your account. Of course, none of your posts will be deleted. We don't do that in here.
