"No direct access..." Can't reply to PMs.

"An Error has occurred...No direct access..."

When I try to reply to a PM, I get the above error.

Anyone else having this problem? Am I missing something? Something on my end, perhaps?

If you just write the new message this doesn't happen, like only when replying?

Is this in replies to messages from users with a space in their user name?

This may be a reply to me, as I asked LimpingFish a question the other day via PM. I also asked Cat and Arj0n stuff through PM, and replies came back without problems, so if Fish is trying to PM me, I don't think the problem is at my end.

No, no spaces or fancy usernames.

Indeed it was. I thought perhaps some blocking function or some such had been mistakenly triggered, but...

Actually, new messages seem to work. I sent @heltenjon a test PM just now, and it was successful.

EDIT: And the reply is also working now.

For the record, the error was constant over the weekend (or at least Saturday night and all of Sunday), and I was also getting the odd forum error here and there during that period. I don't think it was a cache problem with my browser, since I cleared the refreshed multiple times, but who knows?

Thanks anyway.
