I guess it thinks that since you are Au+, you can't edit Au's user page. Dunno if there's a way around this, I'll check when I get a chance.

  • If something like that happens, the quickest workaround is to use the <nowiki> tag. - Miraglyth 19:46, 17 August 2007 (BST)

      • He just took it from mine >.> --Beatrixkiddo 20:01, 17 August 2007 (BST)
