I've looked back over a few pages and don't think anyone else has had this problem; while I can access shared public boards like this one, I can't view the forum of any game. Not just specific ones as is stated at the top of the forums, ANY game. I keep receiving the message "Error. You do not have access to view topics on this board." I can view the boards while logged out but not while logged in.

For some reason, this issue also extends to the "Read Before Posting" topic's link to "Can't Post In Game Specific Boards", so I'm clueless as to what the solution is.

Okay, I got the PS3 Yellow Light Of Death a few weeks back but managed to save all my save files onto a USB stick beforehand. Sony gave me a replacement today but, upon starting FFXIII, I get the message that I'm using a save file created by another user and I won't be able to create new save data, overwrite the old save data or get new trophies.

I looked up a solution and it said all I have to do is log into my PSN account (since the file would be associated with that) and it'd work no problem.

It doesn't. I don't really know or care why but I'm guessing I didn't log into my PSN account when playing FFXIII, since it's a one player game and I didn't have to, so it's now it's not recognising that the save file is mine because I didn't make it while logged in. Something like that.

So I either need another way around it or someone to listen to me vent about how stupid it is. One of the two.
