First time Ive seen this. I was in MPSIMS, i tried to open the thread “Closure pt2” when i recieved this error. "pete66, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: 1 Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else’s post, access administrative features or some other privileged system? 2 If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. Ive been able to access other threads, before and after recieving this error. Does this error also show up when a thread has been deleted? It did note that it had been moved. ---

The thread’s been moved to the mod forum which we don’t have access to. It also shows up if a thread’s been deleted but since you mention the marker, I’m guessing it’s the former instance. ---

You received the error message because the thread was moved out of MPSIMS. It’s no longer in a public forum. ---

Yeah, it’s a slightly scary-sounding message to see but it’s pure boilerplate. ---
