Detachment Access link not working

[Sparrow_69676[TX]]

Hello! Today I tried to request Detachment Access, I filled out my profile according to the instructions, then I clicked on the link indicated on the appropriate page, but I receive this error message: The page you requested does not exist.
Am I doing something wrong or the link is not working?
Thank you.

Hello @Sparrow_69676!

I appreciate you letting us know! Let me look into it quickly and get back to you 🙂

Just to clarify, can you elaborate on what specifically isn't showing up for you? I assume you're referencing the actual forum where you need to post your access request yes?

This is the link that doesn't work:

Can you please try this link? -

That's the page I started from. I followed the instructions to verify that my profile contained the requested information, then I clicked on the link but it said that the requested page does not exist.

I see what you mean - the link in the initial access request forum post is not working - https://forum.specops501st.com/forms/2-access-request/

@J47555 - any thoughts on this?

Hello! We did a forum update and it broke the automation that we had previously. We are going to have to rework the process.

For now, just load your profile link from the 501st member page into your profile and title your thread "Access Request - FORUM NAME HERE - Spec Ops Member Access"

Unfortunately that's not possible, since in the "Access Requests" section of the forum I can't see the "Start new topic" button (it is present in the others sections).

Hello again! So sorry about that delay! I have tested everything to make sure it's working again and it should be. Please work through the steps in the link below and we'll get you your access shortly! Thank you for dealing with my technical difficulties and bringing it to our attention. 🙂

I followed the link you provided, but I can't start a new topic because the "Start new topic" button (the one circled in red in the attached screenshot) is missing. Maybe my account doesn't allow me to start a new topic in that section of the forum?

I am so sorry for this mess. The permissions weren't correct. I've now updated it so that 501st Members can post topics. Again, I'm really sorry, it shouldn't have been this difficult.

No problem! It works now and I was able to open the new thread with my request 💪

You've now been given Spec Ops access.

Apologies for the issues you have faced. You just hapened to be the 1st since the forum software issue caused this problem.

Thanks to @J47555 for helping us through this issue. 🤘
