[Possible bug] Able to access vBCms Comments forum, and post new threads.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

I have a possible bug to report:

Today, I hit the "New Posts" link on the top of the page (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/search.php?searchid=5102899) and I saw the article about 1.0.1 being out.

I clicked on the link below "Forum" and went to the vBCms Comments forum, and I was surprised to see that I had new thread posting permissions, and since I thought that only official posts could be articles, I thought I should report this.

It's not a bug; there's a separate thread for the article that you see in the news column and the thread in the Announcements subforum.

The bug was that I could post new threads in it, I've never seen a article posted by a non-moderator.

Anyone willing to see what happens when you make a new thread, or if it even errors out?

[Starwhip]

I get this too....

I think I'll wait for a while to see if the mods address it.

I was going to ask you to give it a go, I can lock it down if necessary

Speak of the sal_vager! I'll try it right now.

What happens if you rename the thread title to "Article: This is a forum bug test; ignore." ?

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Well, it posted here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/118767-This-is-a-forum-bug-test-ignore

But I doesn't show on the main page, or in articles: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/content/

It does show up here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/forums/43-vBCms-Comments

Yeah, so harmless, maybe.

I probably should turn off posting there anyway just in case, thanks for spotting this

Looks like nothing! I don't know why, but it doesn't work. Feel free to do whatever you want with it.

On my activity feed it says I posted in vBCms comments; but on HarvesteR's it says "Kerbal Space Program".

Hmm, turning off posting applied to comments as well, so I set the member permissions instead, Mad Rocket Scientist can you try posting another comment in the 1.0.2 article please.
