I did some work rearranging my forums earlier today, shifting topics into new forum directories etc.
Some topics, actually most of the ones I moved, now present users with the ugly red banner:
Access denied. You must have special permissions to access this area or you are not logged in.
Has anyone run into this? How can I fix it? Near as I can tell, the database records are all intact and as expected. The forum permissions are set to public etc.
