Legend..
Thanks
Legend, not so much, I think. Access denied, when I sent a request, proving my point:

I'm probably just imagining this, but I'll put it out there for all to see.

Is there a secret handshake I missed? or an exclusion rule? it just seems like there is, after
  • 1) two members offered items (a proven part to test with, and a Bentley manual) to help me in the past, but withdrew their offers without explanation,
  • 2) some members post info that others can read (based on their replies and comments), but comes up blank when I try to read it, again for no apparent reason, and
  • 3) now "Access denied" when I tried the link above...my Google Drive and my email are both in good working order, so I can only assume it's just me, not my computer, that is being snubbed/denied.

It would hurt my feelings if I had any left (at 73, I really don't), but I've tried not to offend anyone on this forum (but I've been on many automotive and other-types of DIY forums...for over thirty years... including some where the slightest disagreement butt-hurts another); I've had no negative feedback here (as far as I can tell)...I've even steered clear of the Politics Forum, because I came here to get and share knowledge about cars, trucks, and especially the X5, not to anger anyone, so ???

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similarly strange (unexplained) excommunicatory instances, while on Xoutpost? I've always been able to at least read all posts on other forums, without blank spaces, so it's a mystery... Why here? I can get by, without full inclusion, but some others might not be able to get the info they need, if met by a possibly inadvertent preclusion from receiving it, at a critical time.

It might just be a wonky firewall on my devices, an anti-virus program on all, or from using Google/Chrome on all, or something simple I've not found, but it just puzzles me, from time to time.
