I have one user operating from a Windows 7 64bit machine (IE8) tricked out as a developer system (MS Developer tools) that receives the error "The service is unavailable" when attempting to post a thread. The thread appears to be posted to the database, since if the Forum Category is examined again (relaunch the Forum, or from another system), the new thread appears in the list (although with 0 views). However, if you attempt to then open the thread (from any location), you get the same "The service is unavailable" message.
In addition, if a thread created as described above, it cannot be deleted (from anywhere) without receiving the same message.
Note that the user was able to create Forums (as Administrator) from W7 machine. The same user is able to successfully post a thread from a Windows XP machine (IE8). I was able to use another W7-64 machine (IE9) without Dev tools to create threads successfully.
I wasn't able to spot anything on the Community Forum that resembled this. Has anyone else seen something like this before?
