I posted this yesterday but it seems there was an error.

I never realized that members couldn’t reply to the announcement posts. Only new topics in this section should have been disallowed. That explains all the private messages.

Everyone can now reply to announcements.

Except for this one 😆. ‘Quick Fixes’ will be updated with small fixes, such as this one.

The most recent additions were causing an error that disallowed the creation of guilds. That was been solved.
