Removing thanks gives a permissions error

MothballsWallet

Sometimes when I remove my thanks from a post, I'll get the error message below:



I'm running:

Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) Edition
Google Chrome version 44.0.2403.157 m

Mandelbrot

I've been getting it from time to time, since they did the first 'spam fix'.
I don't recall getting it before then.

That's about when it started happening for me too.

Looks like they've borked something when fixing another....

Thanks everyone. We've let the tech team know.

Hopefully it doesn't affect too many people.

Hi all

We haven't been able to replicate the error.

Please can you check it again for us?

If you're still getting the error can you tell us:

a) Your operating system
b) The browser(s) it's not working in
c) Which Forum version ie old green or new blue and white

Thanks!

Andrea: a) and b) are already answered in my OP.
c) is the old green forum (I don't use the new one as I find all the white damaging to my eyes).

Oh, by the way, as of about the last few minutes, Chrome gives me a "NOT RESOLVED" error for MSE forums; Firefox was OK, then Chrome fixed itself.

I was having problems with other sites being slow, so I'll reboot my router tonight and see if that helps for next time.

Thanks MothballsWallet (or shall I call you Gibbs?)

If we can get replies from others its happening for, or even people it's not happening for to tell us what combination it's working on we can build a picture.

Which of Gibbs rules do you think this one comes under?

fermi

No problems like that recently.

- Linux, and Android KitKat. Very occasionally Windows 8.1/10 and OS X Yosemite
- Firefox, Chrome Opera
- Old green forum

But you have already been told it is an intermittent problem.
Therefore it will depend on lots of other factors that you are not asking about, or able to replicate.

The only way you can sort out intermittent errors is to be sure you have software that works consistently across the whole of your platforms.

Rule No. 45

Gibbs doesn't like computers very much, that's why he's got Abby and McGee on the team
