Seem restricted to Water Cooler

boss281 · Mar 31, 2019

Hey, new user here.

A few days back I registered and posted in the new member subforum without problem.

Today I wanted to check out some of the other areas, especially Brainstorming, and was presented with a request for password. My user password does not work in this case. With a bit more exploration, I found that I couldn't open any other forum unless it was under Water Cooler.

UNTIL I ran a search, then clicked on forums from the search results.

Weird.

A few of the rooms are password protected, but if you'll look on AW's first page, you'll see the password in bold in the room description. The password for Brainstorming Sandbox & Share Your Work (for instance) is vista. See this FAQ on password protected rooms: https://absolutewrite.com/forums/sh...s-amp-What-to-do-if-the-Password-Doesn-t-Work
