PM - restricted access?

[Sofia Grace]

I've noticed that the past couple of days, I'll go to answer a PM, or preview a message while writing it and I'll get a prompt that I'm not allowed access into 'this section' - and my message is deleted.  Can anyone offer insight?

When that happens to me I've learned to use the back arrow and copy my post then click the read messages command and post my reply over again.

I don't know what causes it, though.

When I've had this happen, I think it was because I was trying to reply to or view messages from an outdated page. Like the details of the message had changed because other messages had come in and the previous link wouldn't allow me access. It doesn't tend to happen if I refresh my inbox tab, right click on the message and reply there (or right click, bringing up another reply tab).

That's what I've been doing.  It's odd, for sure.  I wonder why it happens...

I'll try that now!  Thank you.

Innnnnteresting...  I'll keep that in mind.

It's been happening for years and I've never figured out why.  I just try to work around it.

Oh!  Well, that makes me feel better to know that it's not an isolated issue.  Thank you, BeMi!

Hopefully this is one of the myriad issues Elkarte fixes. If not the Private Conversation pass will do it in >_>
