Default Restrictions on forum access?

Hi,
when I try to view a thread that I had previously posted to, and it happens to be in the “off-topic” section of the forum, I get the message that I do not have permission to view the page. And when I look at the forum list of sections, I do not see any of the “off-topic” pages. I can log on to the forum and view the other sections and my other posts.
I hope an administrator will see this and can advise me as to why this is happening.
Just to clarify: this is a new phenomenon as of today. I had no problem accessing the “off-topic” pages and my previous posts prior to today.

Thank you

I have the same issue. I used to play along with the "change one letter" thread. This is what I get now

Yeah, that’s what I get too. It’s frustrating because I am getting notifications that people are responding to my posts in the “off-topic” section, but I can no longer get to the threads. Why? Seems like a weird random glitch. I wonder if the mods are aware?

Same thing for me, and that's how I found out. I had and email saying someone responded to the topic. When I tried following the link, it brought me to the screen shot I posted above. I even sent a PM to another member that frequently posts on the same thread. He said he had no issues with being able to access the thread.

Dang. I wonder who else is experiencing this. How long has it been going on for you?

I can't see it anymore. It seems to have just disappeared.
