Hi' i'm having this BIG Problem with the site, I can't view offsite links, I'm trying to download the PS2 POPS.PAK file but it says "Links are hidden from guests. Please register to be able to view these links." when yet I AM A REGISTERED USER. What's going on? I'm very frustrated. Could someone please help me?

Sorry for bumping but I NEED HELP

What browser are you using? Have you tried with a different one?

Did you forget to login? Some people make this mistake easily.

kinda figured i'd chip in.
thanks OP for creating this, i really couldn't be arsed to bother staffs with it. (unless it's sharing home addresses, it can be said in FULL PUBLIC.)
yeah, i get this in the 'new account' area, and the '360' DL area, really just BS at it's finest.
tells me i'm barred at the staff level, but i don't gaff, at least i can post in the relevant areas.
it was worth mentioning all the same.
oh, regardless of browser, it just shitcans me with the same message. (unauthorised to be here.)

What do you need to see in the new accounts area? It's a place solely to weed out bots.

[amiga1200]

responding?
such as those 'ever trashed a controller?' subject for example, and i did say the 360 area.
i can see shit as a guest, but it tells me to fuckoff and die when it comes to even logging in, let alone being able to effect an actual response.
...
part of this site screw me at the staff level, only the coders know the score, i'm too old for this shit...

The 360 subforum is a hidden subforum, you can see its description says:

Only members with 200 posts or who have made some contributions to our community can see our Xbox 360 links

I know you've uploaded a couple things now, so I'll let you in... Don't expect much, nobody really uses those hidden sections.

As for the noob section, it's for newbies only. If you stick around long enough you do eventually regain posting ability, and *thread posting* privileges there

[amiga1200]

ahh, thanks for clearing that up, missed the '200' post part, my bad.
in that case, redo my profile, there's NO special treatment, only merit.
as for 360 itself, my capacity was to engage any convos there, NOT rip, and certainly NOT upload. i can't dump the disks in the redump.org standard (like xbx) so until then, off-limits to me. (there's one regular i see there i recognize as another user elsewhere.)
after the 200 mark, i'll know i can engage 360 subjects.

It's already done, you should be able to browse freely. Unless I screwed something up? Its been a fair while since I pushed somebody in

[amiga1200]

thanks.
i'm able to go around the forum, won't post til it's required though.
on a similar note, roughly ten minutes ago, i saw a notification in my profile, and thinking it was a pm, looked at it, and a db error came up. (address had usercp as part of it.)
not sure what area of profile that is, just a db return error, can see visitor message clear enough.
in any case, appreciate fixing stuff.

[Ragnar]

You get notifications if somebody private messages you, visitor messages you, or leaves your rep. You probably picked up some rep, guessing from the usercp url. Just click the settings link in the top right corner to check it.

His one pip isn't green though

[amiga1200]

thanks again.
that seems to work.

it's all good!
my record elsewhere speaks for itself, and if i have anything to say, EVERYBODY sees it, no hidey. (+ or -)

[deadlegion]

You need an avatar and stuff

Holy crap it's grey. I don't think I've seen that before, I guess he's at exactly zero So yeah, picked up rep, the bad kind
