why members can't read some posts?

members send me messages saying that they can't read some posts!they can't see them.i checked permissions and they look ok!but a few days ago i made a change so guests can see the forum but they can't read or write in it if they don't register.is it possible i made something wrong?i keep checking the permissions again and again but like i said they look ok.i'm confused!
thank you!

Use a member account to check it for yourself.

how can i do that?i'll do it now!you mean that i should create a member account?if so what do i do next?

No... It's simple... Just go to their profile in the ACP and change their password to log into their accounts.
Then change it back to the previous one. I don't think this'd a good idea though. Maybe you can't know their current password.

No offence, but I would NEVER get into anyone of my members account. Just create a new one. I would highly prefer you not to do as what he said. After you create the test account leave it as a plain account and look st the forum that they say they can not see. Also, check there group if you have them in one.

Yes. Well, don't do my way. Never mind. Just didn't think quite enough

thank you for your answers,i don't know if the problem is completely solved..i'm watching it for hours now!members send me pm saying that problem was especially in a topic of a specific member!we erased this members signature(tickers)and problem seems to be ok at the moment!can a signature(tickers)create such a problem?please if it's possible don't lock this topic untill i find out what is happening!

Maybe the person has blocked them.

why would someone do such a thing?in HTML the members signature had a little sqare but i erased it all.i don't know what to say.very strange!

The member could have done that. I'm not sure why, but I am pretty sure this is what has happened.

thanks again!!i'll keep watching it untill i'm sure!

Okay. You will never know though. You won't have access to see this info from the user unless you get into the account.

If you place hide code in the sig and not close it then the posts will be hid until you make a post

in the sig the code should be like this

Code:

<Hide> text text text </hide>

but if they placed the code like this

Code:

<hide> text text text <hide>

or

Code:

<hide> text text text</hide

then the code is not closed and then the hide will keep going on other posts until som one else posts the code ..well so i was told by a admin of some other site when i did the same thing

so best thing to do is make sure all there codes in there sig's are open and closed ....

~Ape~

thank you byt i don't understeand what you mean..
i could see the members signature but the problem was that some members could not read some topics of the specific member and when i deleted this members signature problem ssemms to be ok untill now!
and i don't understead what happened

He must have had some buggy code[opened tags maybe] which caused that. Since now you cleared the code, Its all sorted.

it seems to be ok for now!if i have the same problem i must start a new topic?thank you again!

Since this thread appears to be solved, I will lock this thread and mark it as solved.
