Watcher on the Walls Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hi,Though I am rumored to be as unique as everyone else, I am having a similar problem to several other posters. I have just registered and was trying to access my profile to have it say something nominally meaningful when I got this discouraging message:[#10245] You are not permitted to view member profiles. Useful Links•Forgotten Password Recovery•Register a new account•Our help documentation•Contact the forums administratorI am just a young girl :rolleyes: with no experience (of anything) but I suspect that this can be fixed?

fitheach Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Ahhh, just tried PM'ing and still no go.. Ok, as long as I'm not in trouble! I know I wrote the C word- about myself- and thought we may have gone PG in Westeros. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeNightFalls Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I hope this problem will be solved soon ^^ I can't even fix my avatar / details, and I'm not even talking about the other issues.EDIT: and since this is my first post and I haven't been able to see my profile, I don't know why is there Namie Amuro on my avatar, but oh well... o_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardstone Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Me too. Can't see my profile, do searches or anything to personalise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeNightFalls Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 EDIT: I don't know if this had been posted before, but I've got a tip for those who can't access their profiles. Go to your settings page (I believe everyone is able to access, just like me) and then add &tab=members to the link and voila! This works for me, and as you can see, I was able to edit my profile. Maybe this can work for seeing your PMs or even other people's profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeNightFalls Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I tried this and got...[#1026] You are not permitted to modify all or some of your profile information.Hmmm that's weird, it works for me, and now I'm even able to go to my profile page if I go first to the setting section, and then click on the profile tab. Are you sure you didn't change the whole link, but just added that part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeNightFalls Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 ^ Yes, that's the entire link and it works for me, does it work for you now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Storm Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 ^ Yes, that's the entire link and it works for me, does it work for you now?No. Same error. Kinda sucks. Feel like such a noob with no avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeNightFalls Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 No. Same error. Kinda sucks. Feel like such a noob with no avatar!The feeling is familiar xD Have you tried by going to My Settings and then clicking on the Profile tab? If that doesn't work either, then I don't know how to help :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLU-RAY Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 If you read the rest of the thread, the board is put in "performance mode" during high-traffic times (which is most of the day). PMs and profiles are still functional during off-hours (i.e. infrequently); this is because the board is now experiencing much higher traffic (post ADWD) than it ever has before. There are plans for a server upgrade of some sort that should fix the issue; we'll be told once this occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERROR 12345: Profiles are disabled from 8:00am to 11:pm EST.That would save a lot of posting, IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julandro Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I have spent many days without being able to use the private messages and search tool. Previously you did activated provisionally as were doing before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I don't believe there's any way we can change the error message, they're standard IPB messages, I am afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 A quick google search seems to indicate that you can change error messages by editing the lang files, which are probably all cache/lang_cache/en/lang*. You'd have to find the one that contains that particular error string, though. It may be lang_error.php, but I'm not sure what other files are under that path.

lady-avalon Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I just made a post about this and now I feel stupid. I'm getting the same problem with viewing my profile and editing it.My account has been approved/activated by myself and an administrator but I get the following message when I try to view my profile:[#10245] You are not permitted to view member profiles. And this one when I try to modify it on my settings:[#1026] You are not permitted to modify all or some of your profile information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
