Is there any reason why I can't read some members posts (from their profile activity) and not others?

Is it because I'm blocked in some way (or on ignore) or is it because the poster's profile doesn't allow it?

    Hello - I can think of a possible reason why this might be the case.

    If you drop us an email at forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com and let us know which user(s)' profiles this happens with, we can see if my theory is on the right track.

    Thanks for getting back to me James.

    That sounds very cloak and dagger!

    Is it not something obvious and applicable to everyone then?

    Maybe you can message me with your theory and I'll see if it fits with my recent activity.

    I've just had something similar, however it wouldn't let me access their profile as I didn't have permission. A member with 4 posts.

    I've had it happen when looking over posting history and assumed it's because the post / thread had been removed, but not reference to it in their history.

    If a member has been banned (even temporarily) I find that their profile pages show a Permission Problem - This user's profile is private message. But that sounds different to what you describe.
