If you can’t post on AskWoody, there’s a reason why – and a quick fix

Posted on January 31, 2019 at 07:52 CST by woody • Comment in the Forums

I’ve seen reports from several people this morning that they can’t post on AskWoody when they’re logged in. When they log out, no problem, they can post anonymously.

If that sounds like you, shoot me mail at CustomerSupport@AskWoody.com and tell me your username.

Ends up the problem is some flipped bits in our user role list. It’s easy to fix, but I have to go in and do it manually. My guess is that we have a mildly munged database – the bane of my existence.
