Cannot access that "Announcement" at the top of forum

[doogald]

If I try to open the announcement at the top of the forums "Login issues?", it tells me that I do not have permission to access that page. Well, it says:

doogald, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Don't worry, you are not the only one!!!!!

I can't read it either

Here's what it says --

Hey guys, we're gonna mess with Jared. Let's all pretend that something important is up here, something about logging out or something. I'll worry about that when I write the post. What I'm gonna do is make it so everyone but Jared can see it. Don't tell him OK?

And I just broke the law and told ya.

doogald you not seeing it is probably just a bug.

OK OK here's what it says:

Hi all - Our forum improvements may have caused some login issues. If you are having problems, please ensure that you are logged out of BOTH the forums and the front page. Then re-login via the front page. More here

I'm still investigating the login issues (and the weird announcement permission issue)

Dieter you are the man.....

The login issues are weird but I am getting post updates more now than yesterday

I'm still investigating ... the weird announcement permission issue

If this helps, it turns out that I can read it if I go to the Android Central Meta forum. I was getting that error message when I clicked "New Posts" at the forum control bar at the top; the message was at the top of the list of new message posts, but it gave that error message when you clicked it.
