Booted off Access user forum?

[Berni]

For days now I have not been able to get on the official Access virus user forum. When I try to get on it I get a blank page with 'You are not allowed to enter this page. You do not have the required permissions to enter this page.' written in red. I'm logged in but no cigar, anyone else getting this or is it just this bad boy? I think they may have kicked me off it, Lol. Good job I'm not the sensitive type :evil:

Hi Berni mate, I have no problem accessing the official forum and locating your profile, and your member status doesn't show as being banned so no worries there.

Your last post was on July 24th on Basic Sequencers, and your last activity, Yesterday (26th July), 10:57pm, so it's recognising that you're logging in at least.

Might it be something regarding your web browser security/content settings? ActiveX, cookies, scripts etc. They can sometimes be a pain in the ass.

[Berni]

Hey Timo,

Thanks for the quick reply. Nothing has changed on my usual browser set up & I have tried to get on it with several browsers & different computers but I get blocked with the same message. Hmmmmmm, I get the feeling I'm not welcome anymore ; )

Hey Berni

Sometimes I have a bit of trouble trying to log on to the Access site but if I clear the cache in Firefox it normally works fine again.

I have no problem logging in or accessing any other part of the site. I just get blocked if I try & get on the user forum ; (

[Berni]

Its been a week now & still no access, Lol.
Let this be a lesson kids...dont speak your mind too much & agree with many disgruntled users. YOU just might eventually piss them off enough to block you from there user forum.

I was going to give you a suggestion about how shitty the Access forum software is (tip: only use the most mainstream version of the most mainstream browsers, avoid Opera)

...but you decided to go insane. I will therefore correct my suggestion and instead tell you to wear one of these (http://bit.ly/oEjxI6) while trying to log in.

Hope this helps.

Thnx 4 your non help, you have been completely useless...do you work 4 access?

[Berni]

Furthermore, like I told YOU, yeah YOU, several posts back I CAN log in...THEY ARE BLOCKING ME...can you get that into your cranium yet or what?

[Ruari]

Berni

Are you getting me & Roby31 mixed up by any chance? You told me you were getting blocked from the forums earlier in this thread.

Just out of interest, have you emailed Access to find out why you are being blocked? It may be a case of crossed wires or things getting confused in translation.

[Berni]

Possibly, I just get tired of repeating myself to idiots that chime in on a thread without reading all the posts. As for access getting its wires crossed & confused there is no doubt in my mind they do but that has nothing to do with them blocking me.
I have been on there forum from the very start & have NEVER had a problem logging in or accessing the user forum until a couple of weeks ago & it does'nt matter what browser or computer I use. I have well over 100 posts to the user forum so its not like its my first rodeo or operator error, its access that dont want me on there forum anymore. I know its a little hard for some users here to believe but its the truth non the less...why would I make it up?

[suzzymackenzie]

That ought to nail it, Berni. Give it a try. My money's on an as yet unidentified gremlin ;)

[Berni]

Yes of course, its probably the same gremlin that seems to permanently live in the IT department at access, Lol.
Why would I ask them a question I already know the answer to? Both marc & jorg really dont appreciate my input (is there anybody else on access support?) probably because the truth hurts & I dont mind telling it to other users that are going through the same problems I have had which at this point are never going to be fixed.
What amazes me is the number of people on this forum that are in denial that access would sensor its own user forum???
They can & they have, so deal with it.

With respect, it's not our problem to deal with, it's yours. We're not mind readers for Access Music' forum admin nor are we their site debuggers. Infekted is wholly separate and independent. Seeing as we have no solid info to go on, we can only help so much, and people here have shown willing and offered polite help.

With respect, I haven't asked anyone to deal with the problem, just to deal with the fact.

[feedingear]

email them and post the response here.

[Berni]

email them and post the response here.
I only posted this to make people aware & I dont care if you believe it or not. I really wasn't asking anyone for help as there is no-one on this forum, including myself that can do anything about it.
There's a thing called accountability...

[feedingear]

Berni you know I love ya. But if you dont email them and get a response, its all just assumptions from your part.

Why dont they email me? They are the one with the problem.

[Berni]

OK Matt, I have thought of something. Go on to the offical site & post under general discussion 'has berni been booted off the virus web site' & include some posts...

Please don't take this post the wrong way, I'm going to start by saying that I'm only trying to help you. I've followed this thread since you started it & I'm unsure what it is you are hoping to achieve by it.

Originally I thought you were unable to log onto the site - you made it pretty clear that you could log on you just couldn't access the forum. Along with others I've suggested that you go straight to the root of the perceived problem to try & find out why, instead you have carried on to play it out in public talking about accountability & Access being the ones with the problem. If it really is the case & Access have a problem with you, then somewhere along the way a decision has been made - rightly or wrongly - to exclude you from the forum.

It is normal common courtesy to inform people of any infractions or bannings & the reasons as to why they have occured (therein being accountable for actions taken) if you haven't had any notifications then how can you be so certain that you have been banned?

Earlier in the thread you said that you weren't asking anyone for help, yet your latest post is trying to incite someone else to go onto the Access site & make a post on your behalf, what's stopping you from contacting them yourself?

The hard fact is that you can't get on to the Access forum for reasons unknown - unless you contact them directly you will never get an answer as to why & from where I'm watching from it seems that you are more bothered by it than them.

I don't disbelieve that you can't get onto the forum, but what I do find hard to understand is why you would spend so much time on this thread without once contacting Access - they are the one's who can give you the answers that you so obviously want to get.

[Berni]

I gave up contacting access & there 'support' a long, long time ago because it turned out to be pointless as they could not offer any solutions to my problems, just a steady stream of bullshit. I do not intend to let these idiots waste any more of my time & I am seriously thinking about selling my virus while it is still worth a bit of money.
So whether I have been banned or it's yet another f**k up on there behalf I really dont care. All I am saying is, they have caused this to happen, not me so why should I have to waste my time emailing...waiting for response...waiting some more...try this (insert useless advice that you have already tried here) email them again to say it didn't work & start all over again (repeat until you have pulled out all your hair)
There's a thing called accountability & access are'nt to good at it, just read the 'problems & troubleshooting' section of there forum. There are a lot of pissed off & out of pocket people on there.
Thats all the time I'm prepared to waste on this, believe what you want people.

[Ruari]

Fair enough mate, I've had some frustrations with my set-up too but luckily I've been able to sort most of them out.

The only problem I've got currently with my Virus is that I get a buzzing noise when opening VC in Logic, they've been unable to recreate this at Access so the only thing I can do is mute my monitors before I open VC - easier said than done as it's easy to forget. Apart from that my Virus is running sweet.

Sorry to hear about your frustrations Berni.

[synthfiend]

Heh Ruari
I had an issue like that and it turned out to be the Logic template I had created and was using. When I just opened Logic and choose a default template and opened VC in that the problem went away.

F**k you are a genius! Do you work for access?
