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This message most commonly appears when the discussion you're trying to access has been archived and is no longer available for viewing through the Community.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 I'd be happy to check it on my end to confirm whether it has been archived or if something else is causing the permission error.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 Understandable it might have been archived due to age.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:
I have made some more 'tweaks' to the Dark Mode Autohotkey script - which can be downloaded from link below:
Wow, thanks @J.A. Clark - those are pretty significant and welcome changes, looking forward to trying this version. I always enjoy reviewing the code and appreciate the release history and embedded comments. CheckMemoryReload is well though-out logic - nice work.
Every now and then I find another app to add. Today was iTunes. SO much better in dark mode :)
I have had a few instances where some apps didn't work the first time - they're essentially TSR like apps - when resumed I think the focus might be tricky and confuse the script. So I just close/reopen and it usually works.
Appreciate the positive comments :-)
I make every effort to keep the code current and add functionality/fix when I find a bug.
When you think of it and you see something, flip the debug flag to 'true' so it can get recorded. If you send me that debug log as an attachment to a post, I will analyze it and if possible add a 'fix' to the existing script.
@J.A. Clark - I've not tried to dig through the code, but where is the part where windows are examined for inversion? Some apps just stop switching to dark mode but others still work. The fix that works is just restarting the app and then it responds to inversion again. Again, just some apps. I'm not sure if you're tracking window handles or titles. Even though it reloads itself when idle, I did try a manual reload but that made no difference.
At first I thought it was just apps running in the background that were failing to switch modes, but out of 3, one of those still works. Quicken and iTunes are unaffected.
What's the most efficient way to send you logs. I'm going to try and create some while I have a scenario that's persistently failing.
Detection is entirely by process executable name, not window title or handle. It happens at the GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_exe <name>.exe" lines near the top of the script, which build a named window group; the polling loop and event handler both call WinGetList("ahk_group auto_invert_gp") to ask Windows which currently open windows belong to that group. Only once a window matches by process name does the script start tracking its specific handle — the handle is never the basis for deciding whether to invert, only for tracking which window an already-matched inverter belongs to.
The most efficient and least costly way to get me the debug log is to use 'Linkly' or if you have Google Drive, you could upload the debug log to your Google Drive and share that file and I can then download it and analyze.
My apologies - you are correct. I made a blanket statement regarding the window detection.
The group supports matching by process name, title and by title + class — process name is the common case here, but it's not the only mechanism and title matching is a legitimate, already-used option for exactly the situation you describe - where the exe isn't distinctive or known.
I am getting the permissions issue when trying to access this:
It might ust be advising that the discussion is being archived, but I am not sure…curious as to what it said.
Hello @Randyrama,
Thank you for reaching out! You are correct. The permissions error is because the discussion was archived.
