When I try to view some old posts I get the subject message
You need the Vanilla.Discussions.View permission to do that.
How do I fix this?
Hello @Marvin Gardens,
Thanks for reaching out!
This message most commonly appears when the discussion you're trying to access has been archived and is no longer available for viewing through the Community.
If you have the link to the thread you're trying to open, please share it here. I'd be happy to check it on my end to confirm whether it has been archived or if something else is causing the permission error.
Thank you!
I have the same problem trying to view "https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7400551/mac-quicken-2006-to-2017". Why can't these older posts

sorry, wrong discussion
Hi there,
I am trying to use the Tax Planner and would like to know how to classify Health Insurance when I'm self employed. I saw this post referenced in another article, but I cannot see it due to:

Here's the link I'm trying to see:

Thanks for any help!
Hello @BKF2026,
Thank you for reaching out! I can see that's an archived Idea post. I took a screenshot of the only comment in the Idea that talks about health insurance:
Same here - the Dark Mode thread below. Understandable it might have been archived due to age. But there were ongoing/recent discussions still going on there, useful ones.

@Quicken Kristina I see that link now expanded in my post but can't view the full thread in the forum. I don't know if automation or an admin edited the post.
@J.A. Clark has been posting helpful updates there.
Thank you for adding to this discussion!
The link expanding in your thread was an edit made by a moderator. The idea you are referencing was marked as not planned and later converted to a discussion, closed, and then archived. This is our standard process, and we do this to keep the Community organized.
Was there something specific you wanted to see from the thread that I can link here for you? Alternatively, I can bring it out of the archives temporarily so you can see the conversation you were having. However, it will not be reopened for further discussion.
Looking forward to your response!
@Quicken Alyssa - that's understandable - that the feature will not move forward. But @J.A. Clark came up with a solution that's a pretty good workaround and he continues to update it. So maybe we just start a new discussion on his solution? Since it's still related to Quicken and may benefit other users in the same way it's benefited myself. Or is that sort of thing considered off-topic and simply not permitted?
Thanks for the clarification.
A new discussion can be created; however, all discussions are closed after 30 days of inactivity and, after 6 months or more, are archived.
The topic discussed was permitted, at least at the time. I will reach out internally for additional information on this specific situation and follow up with you when I receive a response.
Talk soon!
@Quicken Alyssa - ok, thanks. Those discussion parameters seem fair to me. Since the old one is quite long/deep, maybe a new one is the best choice. So IMO the old one can remain archived.
I appreciate you following up on this.
After consideration, we have decided not to make special accommodations outside of our normal processes to allow this information to remain posted in the Quicken Community. While we encourage and appreciate user-to-user advice and contributions, we feel it is best to err on the side of caution and limit posts to official Quicken methods, products, and services for security purposes.
Thanks for understanding!
That's too bad. I get the liability reasons though. I'm glad I got the solution from that user - I was ready to cancel my subscription given how difficult the product was to use on a regular basis. Are private messages permitted here? I'm wondering how to contact @J.A. Clark and continue the discussion in another forum.
Private messages are permitted, but the feature is available only to those with a high enough Community Rank. For more information, please see this discussion:
