Problems accessing the forum threads

I got an authentication error when I logged in but haven't had any problems accessing the threads

The forums have been working great again. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Just popping back in to share that the team worked hard on the backend and released a fix the other day. I haven't come across the error since then. How has it been for you? 🙂

same it differs from minute to minute and is so frustrating!

Hey ManicPot8to​ and dbmcgrew​, 

Thanks for popping this up to flag that error. We've seen a few reports of this across the forum, and we've run into it on our end as well.

You're 100% right in what you've noticed. It does seem to pop up randomly and isn't related to your individual accounts or permissions. 

We've bubbled this up to the team who looks after the forum backend, so hopefully it can be sorted soon. 🤞

In the meantime, what works for me is to keep refreshing the page I want to load. It's not ideal, and it's a bit of a pain, but it's how I've been able to view the pages it pops up for.

And I'm locked out again:

Same here. Most of my activity has been in the "What happened in your game today, by ONE picture?" thread, and this morning, I had 2 new notifications (new posts in the thread, and a response to one of my previous posts). But when I clicked the links, I got the same notice you got.

Of course, now it seems to be working again. Grr...
