Allow Access in all parts of the forum 

Post#1 » by cod23 » Sat Dec 13, 2008 2:28 am

I've noticed the administrator has probably limited some users to certain areas. Like in my account, I have no permission to use the search systems and send messages to other members. I don't know why the administrator has done that to me, but they shouldn't like in other forums. As other forums have access to all areas, they need to make this easier for other members when using the forums. Then if they have done it, there is no need to email the administrator of any problem. Would you address this problem?

Back in June, there was an upgrade to RealGM. There were lots of bugs afterward, most of which have been fixed, but some are still lingering.

Before the upgrade, PMing (private messaging) others had been restricted only to moderators. Moderators could PM anyone, but you and I could only PM moderators, and not regular users. Since the upgrade, regular users have not been able to PM anyone at all, although moderators are still able to. It's a glitch of some sort.

And the search function has always been inconsistent, and a couple of months ago, it stopped working at all.

Bottom line: it's not just you. Everyone has been experiencing these problems.

Yeah, the search function and PMs aren't user-specific restrictions. It's something that's been making all of us scratch our heads.

Try using Google. Just include "RealGM" in your search terms.
