I can't access certain forum topics, it says I don't have authorization to view the page.
here's a link to one of the topics this is happening on: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/412/?page=3434#post-4450005
I keep receiving notifications that there are new posts on the topic (because I followed it) and now it isn't letting me go into the topic to see the posts

don't forget

why are humans so meaty?

Actually, from looking at the link, the reason why it's telling you that is because the post has been removed by a moderator. Such posts are moved to “Topic 412”, which is the “dustbin” topic, and it is only accessible by moderators.

If the topic has not been removed, then I would suggest accessing it using the topic link instead of the post link. Hope this helps.

It's not meant to be accessible so it's not a bug.

I tried older links from older notifications and they also said access is denied

Does it say topic 412? If so, the scratch team has most likely moved them to the dustbin.

aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.

and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.
