I received an email with the subject [quote][www.centos.org] Forums auto-notify : New post in thread[/quote] with the message [quote]Hello taylorkh, A new post has been added to the topic "Re: "New post in thread" email to "Post Reply" the easy way?". Follow this link to view the post: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=135695&topic_id=31702&forum=18#forumpost135695 Follow this link to view the thread: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=135695&topic_id=31702&forum=18 ----------- You are receiving this message because you selected to be notified when new posts are added to this topic.[/quote]
When I click on either of the links (Thunderbird 3.1.10) it opens a tab in Firefox 3.6.17 and presents me with two messages [quote]You do not have the right to view this topic. You do not have the right to access this forum.[/quote]
I have received notification emails from the CentOS forums before and accessed the threads with no problems. I have tried logging in to CentOS.org first but I receive the same messages. FWIW I am running Ubuntu 10.04

New post in thread email but cannot access the thread?

It is possible that a spammer posted to the thread you are monitoring and that post had been removed by a moderator. In this case, when you click on the link in the notification mail, you'd get that message because the post no longer exists.

Thanks toracat. The thread is still there. Here is the address https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=31702&forum=18
It appears that the last activity was MY reply on 2011/6/9 12:11 so I am not sure why the email was sent in the first place. Perhaps a cosmic ray stuck the forum server :-D

There is no mystery. :-) Now I can tell you exactly what happened.
A spam note was posted to that thread, which triggered the email notification to you.
That note has been deleted by moderator (that's me). :-o
Because the post had been removed, when you clicked on the link, you got the message you described.
