You do not have access to this forum

Con someone explain how I can get access to all of the forums? I search for resources and posts to find answers to some of the problems I'm having, such as this link:

http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/73723

And I get a yellow box telling me I don't have access to this forum.

Thanks

I can't seem to access the TGE Private Forum.

@Anthony
Do you actually have TGB? That link is in the TGB Private forums.

Something odd I just noticed in your profile is that its listing your last login/update as 1/01/1970.

I only have TGEA. I didn't realize that was in the TGB Prvate Foums. It just tells me I don't have access.

Yeah, they really need to add a "You can't access the WYXZ Private forums" to the yellow thing. Heck, maybe I'd buy the product if the resource looks interesting enough, but I wouldn't even know what product to buy in the first place with the current system.

I've seen many resources that look very interesting to me, almost worth buying TGB or something, but I'm not entirely sure that it's the product that it's referencing... so, I don't buy it because $250 (I'd, of course, want the source version ;)) might end up being wasted...

hi people. I have the same problem. I can see that threads where i've posted have been updated since my last visit, but i can no longer view them. (the yellow box problem). I am a Torque TGEA user, and AFAIK, all topics are TGEA related. weird one. help.

Agreed, I own TGE and TGEA and i get that box an awful lot.

1) Yellow box should note which forum you don't have access too. (as per chris)

2) Yellow box should include thread-title or URL (or both) in error message.

3) Yellow box should be persistant .. no 5-second timeout.

I tend to go down the search results, open a dozen new firefox tabs, etc. By the time I read a given tab, that 5-second yellow box is long gone; and i'm left wondering why i'm on the GG-front-page and WHICH thread did I NOT get to read?

The worst part is a lot of the answers I see in the search do pertain to TGEA because the syntax (which is what I look for the most, the syntax of a command) for the commands seem to be the same in TGE and TGEA, but I can't view any of the TGE info.
