    I own and just set up my forum vegasfurs.org to use Tapatalk as myself and many of our members like to use the forums on our smart phones. I am using IPB 3.0.5

    What I have found is that all of the subforums that have any sort of privacy/viewing restrictions cannot be accessed through either the Android or iPhone versions. Whenever someone tries they just get "No Such Forum!".

    Posts from these subforums show up in the "latest" section but trying to open them gives that same error.

    A large part of my forum is not viewable by guest accounts so this is very evident to everyone testing this with me.

    I just got a notice from someone what it worked for them and so I tested it and now I can access threads and sub-forums that I have permissions to and even posted a test thread in a restricted forum... no more errors.

    I'm not sure if you did anything or it resolved itself, I have made no changes to my install.

    We did not make any changes yet.
    So if this happens again, please let us know with details
    Thanks

    This had reoccured! The problem seems to be coming and going.
    The best example is the Second section called "Vegas Local". It is not visible to guests but any logged in user has full access. In here there is three forums, "Meetings & Events" "The Marketplace" and "Convention Chat".
    When the problem starts none of these three forums are accessable, giving the "No Such Forum!" error. When i go to the latest function and attmept to read a topic in one of those forums I get the "No Such Forum!" error as well.

    I just had the problem start... stop and then start again, this time I could open the foum but all the topics gave me the error, probably because I had already loaded the topic list in to memory. Attempting to refresh the topics list still gives "No Such Forum!"

    Hm.. maybe a session expiration issue then it thinks the iPhone user is not logged in.

    This is possible but the problem is also on the Android, which is what I use.
    I have found that I can now steadily replicate the problem. If I got to "Vegas Local" and pick any board and just start clicking through topics I will loose the ability to access all of the topics and forums I have not accessed recently in "Vegas Local" after letting it be a while this will reset and I can start again.

    I realize this is a beta plugin but it's mighty annoying, I noticed that on the site the version listed now is .4 instead of .3 so I installed that over the current ones. I kept and checked the logs directory in the folder but I couldn't find anything useful.

    If there is anything else I can do to help resolve this problem please let me know.

    Fixed in plugin 1.0.0+
