I have the same problem.
Well, this problem I have been able to duplicate. And I understand what's happening.
You see, the forum's system validates whether or not someone has access to categories and boards separately. The system recognizes that both you and MsCriseyde (and I'm sure several other people) have permission to those categories (which I suppose is obvious or you wouldn't be able to see them in the first place), but when you try to access a board, the system checks your status and it's deciding that you don't have permission because it's not recognizing your status.
Now, the routine that checks for board access permissions was recently changed when I installed a new mod for the forum. So, I went to YaBB's Web site, searched, and discovered that there are a whole slew of posts about this exact problem. I guess that means I won't be able to fix it until after I've sorted them all. But at least in this instance I know what I'm looking for because I've been able to duplicate it.
