For some reason, I get an administrative lockout when I try to go to my subscribed threads. I’m not banned, or under any suspicion or warning (as far as I know). I was able to use the subscribed threads page earlier today with no trouble.

Is this a problem I’m having in particular, or something that is currently offline for everyone?

I was just about to post the same thing. =) I don’t remember when it last worked but I cannot subscribe to a thread or view my subscribed threads.

I’m having the same problem, too. It has developed over the last 5 hours or so (since my previous login).

Glad to see it’s not just me.

Misery truly does love company.

I, too, cannot view ‘all subscribed threads’.

Tried to post a follow-up, but the board ate it.

I apparently cannot subscribe to threads via the menu at the top of the thread. I am most put out by this turn of events.

Here I was, feeling so sad and alone. You people warm my heart - you really do.

I’m glad I wandered in here and saw it wasn’t just me. 🙂

I’m also not getting notifications for threads I am subscribed to…

I tried to UNsubscribe from a thread and was told I shouldn’t be doing that. Apparently someone or something thinks it’s vital that I know everything possible about biting one’s penis off during fellatio. I don’t know if it’s a warning to me about receiving fellatio or if I’m being warned away from giving it.

I can’t view subscribed threads (either through user CP or the drop-down box and the bottom of the page), and I can’t subscribe to any threads.

This boat is getting pretty full.  
I can’t subscribe to a new thread or delete any old ones.  
Tried a different browser (IE—\>Mozilla), no change.

I can’t see my subscribed thread list, either. I’m using a G4 iBook, and I’ve tried this in Opera 6.03, IE 5.2 and Safari 1.2.1. OS X 10.3.3 is the operating system.

Me, too. I can’t subscribe to threads and I’m not getting email notices.  
What gives? Did the hamsters run off to Vegas with our money? 😉
