Solved, (re the time zone thingy), tho' it's not very fun.

Mine seems fine, lookout. But I have mine on light blue/safe whatever at work.

Was using the random thread picker and this came up:
"http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?t=1305"

vBulletin Message
classicman, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. New users can't post threads until they are confirmed non-spammers. (Reply to a few existing threads to prove you're a real person.)
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
3. Or it could be something else you don't have permission to do. Sorry!

1. Please remember the "random thread picker" is not supported by The Cellar. It's just a little piece of perl script that I scraped off the bottom of my shoe one day.

2. All it does it pick a number at random and gives you the thread corresponding to that number. It doesn't even attempt to verify that the thread in question exists or is available. Most likely you hit the jackpot and got a thread that had been deleted, or one from a private forum, or something like that. In other words, this is fairly normal behavior.

interesting - I've been using it quite a bit and this was the first time that had occurred.

Yep, UT seems quite understanding here, but VampYre, well, he's another story.

Everything has exceptions. He might have hit the "DoDads" thread, which was accidentally deleted. Or a spammer thread.

There are like 5 threads in the moderator forum, so maybe it was one of those.

I just had a thought - maybe it was a locked thread. Any chance of that happening? In case you missed it here is the link again.

I can't see what it says, it says I don't have permission.

Yeah, but then he burned a message about it onto his own brain so it's okay.


(is anyone going to even get that? Zaphod?)
