User profiles broken, or at least inaccessible (bug?)

I wanted to view each artist's gallery separately, but every time I click on a username link (i.e. /users/seghast), I get an "Access Denied" error. {C} What gives? I should at least have read-only access to the profiles, not be unable to access them at all. Strangely, I'm able to view my own profile (/users/Stargate38). Please fix it.

 

Also, the Members tab of the gallery is broken. It's just an empty page with the View/Featured/Members links at the top.

Well, to start with the system uses an ID for members galleries, not their names. But as far as the accesses go, I believe Eclipse made sure that a lot of stuff was locked down to avoid spambots, this may be a feature that was locked down. Currently anything wrong with the site will probably stay that way for now anyway. Sorry for any inconviences.

I really want profiles to be accessible, even if it's read-only access. Could you please give trusted users (i.e. those with at least 3-5 forum posts) access? If not, could you please tell me how to get the member ID from the member name? I want to know who I'm looking up before I type in a given ID.

Apparently my last post got stuck in the mod queue, which is weird as it had nothing spammy. Could you please give back the access to profiles, even if it means having a certain number of forum posts? I see no connection between stopping spam and denying access to profiles. Also, I'm having trouble with the "preview post" function. It just sits there for a minute doing nothing, then returns a blank page.

I have no idea why it's turned off, just know it is.  Also have no idea how to turn it back on. Comments are all at a "have to be approved" level due to spam bots killing the site. That is something I won't turn off since it seems to be keeping the boards quite clean.

I've created a new role for the boards called "Trusted User" I gave you this role. Check out your permissions on it and let me know if it helped any of your issues. If it helps I'll start granting it to people who we know are not bots.

So far, I'm able to edit my posts, but I still can't access profiles or use the Preview button, so at least one of the issues was fixed.
