Does this happen to anyone else?

I have a few bugs that continue to happen on the forums:

1) Sometimes, when I look at another player's page, the forums will say I'm signed out and prompt me to sign back in. I never sign out from the forums, so this has no reason to happen.

2) This one happens rarely-- but I figured I'd include it. When I click on the discussion page, I get an error message saying I "don't have permission to do that".

3) This one happened for the first time, just now. I got a pop-up saying there was a firewall error between "vanilla" and the site. No idea what it means.

Does anyone else experience these/have workarounds?

This site can be glitchy at times but we just learn how to deal with unless it gets really bad and then we will tag one of community managers to check it out.

Hello
These things do happen sometimes. The workaround to reload the page again can often help when these occur.

Yup. Those sound familiar to me...except I don't remember a "pop-up saying there was a firewall error between "vanilla" and the site." That one seems odd to me. BUT... I am on a Mac, not PC. Are you on a PC with a firewall that gives you similar warnings at times? What is "vanilla"? Have you seen that term before in your firewall warnings?
