There is probably an issue with your login.
When you see the message that says you have been denied access, take a look at the top left of the page under the big C3 Vette Registry logo, does it say "Logged in as your_member_name" or "Not logged in"?
Also, while looking at the denied message, look at the top right of the page, just above the sponsor ad, does it say "Logout [your_member_name]" or does it say "Login" on the same line as the link for "FAQ"?
If the first one says "Not logged in" AND/OR the second one says "Login" then you are not properly logged into the site. Fixing it should be easy.
1. Under the "My Account" menu, click "Logout"
2. Then just log in again.
When you return to the forums, both areas should have your member name. If not, let us know and we'll figure something else out.
If the above does not work, you will need to reset your cookies....
