Red Squadron Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I was just wondering why it is that I am not able to reply to a question set by a Premium member (The Birders). They asked whether or not to allow certain items of an inflammable nature into a cache. I clicked on the REPLY button but it wouldnt allow me to post. Is it simply that I am not a premium member and they are ? Anyway in reply to their question, I think that it is wrong to put lighters (unless empty) or any other combustable items into caches. There has to be a line drawn somewhere or it will get uncontrollable. Caches can get inordinately HOT laying under bushes and logs and we all know what can happen to a heated coke can or bottle of drink.......it can explode. Imagine what would happen if a lighter full of lighter fuel was to heat up inside a plastic container, just as YOU or one of your family were to pick it up. So come on folks, lets have a little more commonsense about what we put in the containers. 99.9% of us are being sensible about this, its just the other .1% that needs educating.

I sometimes forget to log in and then get annoyed when I am reminded to log in. Quote Link to comment

+rutson Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I second that emotion. As someone who has run several Invision boards in the past, while it is perfectly possible to prevent group of members reading/posting in particular sections, there is no facility to prevent a class of user posting in reply to another class of user. It's either a glitch (unlikely) or some sort of remote (ie user's computer) problem. Quote Link to comment
NickPick Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It worked ok for me, and I'm a non-premium member too. Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 did it say WHY you couldn't post? it usually does. Another reason could be if you've only just posted something, on that thread or somewhere else. This board has flood protection, which means you can't post replies without a suitable length of time - I think its 30 seconds. Doesn't sound much but its caught me out a few times!

Thanks for your concerns. It must have been a glitch on my part because i also had a problem with receiving my Emails, that is also cleared up now. Quote Link to comment

Unless the evil moderator* moved the topic to the off topic section. *The moderator may not actually be evil (it just seems that way when you want to participate and can't). Quote Link to comment
