Not able to subscribe to the member only section

[Alexndl]

Been like this for some time and wondering if its the same for other members?

I am not able to subscribe to the member only sections. I am able to subscrisubscrall the pages/threads in those section but not the sections.

Error message

Okay, that's odd. I just tried the subscribe to a thread in those sections and it didn't give me trouble. I'll have to have someone else try and recreate the error.

I get the same thing.

I don't get an error when trying to subscribe to individual threads. Just when I try to subscribe to the whole section.

Same here:

[Painthappy]

Huh, so you get the error on individual threads? Or when you just click subscribe? Looks like it must be a permission thing, just need to get to the bottom of it.

[Alexndl]

This error show only when we try to subscribe to a whole section of the member forum.
I can see all the thread and open them, and even subscribe to individual thread. Just not able to subscribe to a whole section.

Not sure if this is related, but I'm unable to subscribe to the Local Games/West Coast forum (and other forums).

Instructions to replicate:

1. After being logged in to MCB, from homepage, click on West Coast thread.
2. Click "subscribe"

Expected: I am subscribed to forum and get notifications on new posts to the forum.
Actual: pop up describing "Sorry, you are not authorized to view this page" (see screenshot)

I am not a paying member (yet?), so maybe subscriptions are a members only feature as of recently?

I was previously able to subscribe to other forums, such as the The Armory/Pump Guns and BST/Pump Guns (subscribed Jan - Feb 2024). However, I just unsubscribed and tried to resubscribe to Armory/Pump Guns and got the same error.

System info:

• Chrome Version 123.0.6312.58
• macOS Venture 13.4.1

Friendly reminder that this issue is still occurring. When I attempt to subscribe to the pump for sale section, I get the same message as others. Interestingly, at some point in the past I was able to subscribe to the mech semi auto for sale section. So this may be related to a permission that exists when accounts are created but does not persist once the new access controls are applied to a seasoned member.

[Painthappy]

Yeah, I can't find anything but there is obviously a permission issue. I will have some time tomorrow to dig into it.

Any luck?

I think I have this same issue. I would like to subscribe to a few main sections (VM Empire, Pumps Guns, etc) but it always has the sorry you are not authorized message. I can subscribe to individual threads though. Any way around this?

Also, semi related, can I get push notifications or emails when I get messages/notifications? I looked around but can't find any setting for that.

Thanks!

I believe I found the issue. You had the permissions but I need to go into each of those sections and give it to the group also. Should be working.

[Alexndl]

It work now
Thanks!!!

[Cal440]

I will second that, working good. Thanks
