How do you prove you pledged and gain access to the Insider forums?

Tony · Dec 11, 2012

Same results as others. I even deleted the cookie in my browser for baremettle.com and it didn't help.

I didn't register until after getting the Kickstarter notice. Perhaps the forums were attributed with Read-Only access for Insider qualifying users, and not Post access? Just a guess.

Could be, although it still says (Private) in the 'Latest' box on the forum list so I don't think we even have read access. Perhaps one of the devs could start a thread in the insider forum (if they haven't already) so we can tell.

I think only those who registered after the update have access. Hope they fix it soon!

If that were true, I'd have access. I'm getting the same empty forum without post access as everyone else.

They've updated the forum description with "weird technical issue, trying to fix" so I guess they're aware of this!

Brendan · Dec 11, 2012

Fixed now, sorry about that guys, classic caching issue.

I just registered in the last 5 minutes and cannot see any messages. It also says I have insufficient privileges to post in the insider forum.
Still, it's only a technical hiccup I'm sure

Did you register for the forums with the same email address you used to pledge? If not you'll need to send the dev's a message with your forum email address (from the address you used to pledge). Hope that makes sense, and welcome!

Brendan · Dec 11, 2012

It's not quite instant as I have to run the script to change user permissions, but I've done it again so you should have access now.

Yes I did it's all working perfectly now it

My only issue has been not being able to edit a message within the forum due to a time limit on posts but I'm really not too bothered about that

Brendan · Dec 11, 2012

Good good, yeah not sure what the time limit was but we've changed it to 30 mins now.

Are you going to have to run the script to update permissions at regular intervals? I've just registered and am getting the 'insufficient privs' message on the Insider forum. I'm not in any rush as I should probably be working

Brendan · Dec 12, 2012

Yeah, annoyingly... but I'll try and do it regularly and have just done it again so you should have access now. Not much on there yet mind, but plenty to come

How long do you think it would take for people with different kickstarter and forum mail address?

And what if i just change forum mail address?

Sorry walltar missed your email earlier, you should be sorted now.

Actually I just attempted to edit a post and got a message that the time had already elapsed, which is said was 0 minutes allowed to edit a post.
